I actually won a computer racing games battle

I won some prizes from my company last Friday, they arranged a fun activity having us to race against each other in computer network racing games. I participated and compete against other 29 racers, quiet a thrill experience there since I never take part in any computer games competition before. This just a relaxing for fun games so not much competition in there hehehe. The computer games we played was the famous computer car racing games series "Need for speed" with the latest release in series "NFS: Most Wanted".

I played various video games and properly that benefits me even I did not practice before the race start. I played before NSF:MW in PS2 console with a proper comfortable video games controller, where the challenge this time was using a PC and standard keyboard that suck for racing games, I demand a steering wheel controller better with pedal!

Of course we compete for fantastic prizes that no one would expect before. And they create buzz that the first prize winner get a Malaysian Grand Prix F1 ticket worth RM500 and chance to sit beside Michelle Yeoh. Lol what a alluring attraction. Eh but everyone seems to buy the idea and compete crazy upon that. To Dear Datuk Yeoh, beware those lunatic sit beside you ;)

Come back to the competition. Quiet a surprise to me too when I won the primarily round of the competition. After first round finished, I found myself holding the fastest race time in all the groups thus I pretty confidence since then. Later my colleagues kept on teasing me and all the Michelle Yeoh hype and trolls make me a bit nervous hope you guys understand my sentiment that time :D

The final race to compete for top 4th places comes, I have a pretty steady start and lead for almost 2 laps and the 3rd lap which also the final lap I started to feel pressure and for your information my opponents are not bad and almost never errant (eh they are good la). And the pressure built up influence by my colleagues from same department, pretty intense race and foes' car kept on catching up from behind. At a particular steep 90 degrees corner where behind are bunch of cars and I over confidently shove the accelerate key and put a weak steer left hoping it can have a nice steadily passing that vicious corner, but I think the car goes understeer and over accelerate thus my car lose grip and bang aside to the wall and cars from behind simply pass over me and thats gone my fabulous prizes and chance to see Michelle Yeoh ;P.

Despite of the drama, I manage to come back and race toward the end and won the 2nd place. Hurray so I still get some goodies, a F1 ticket, a t-shirt and a cap with shameless company logo for free advertisement on living host isk isk. I remember last year bowling competition for all the luck me and my team also got 2nd place and won a RM5 McDonald voucher, I see improvement this year ;) I want to change this, always being 2nd, bad karma for Yee Lai Meng arrrhhhh.

Oh I'm going to F1 model show Malaysian Grand Prix F1 2006 race day in Sepang F1 circuit this year, hillstand nia expecting hot weather and sweaty condition.
