dunno which Ah Chong or Ah Cheong.. anyway, its good to always double check yourself to make sure the stuff are well done. Sometimes you may trust the mechanic but "secarly" that day they sleepy/distracted/too busy/forgetful.. then forget something?

 

While on the road to and back from Sepang, this thought crossed my mind:

 

Everytime we make such trips i.e. going long distance at such high speeds, it's not a "normal" thing or coincidence that we all make it back safe and sound. I believe everytime we make a trip, all our guardian angels are hard at work, keeping vigilance at our sides to make sure the road is safe, no pebbles, no obstructions, and other commuters all orderly.. so that at every second and every minute we are safe.

 

I actually could picture 2 :angel: :angel: , 1 flying in front of EMILY on the right, and 1 behind on the left, watching out for me and Icez.. And eveytime Icez pick up to 180km/hr, i imagine his angel's face looking very stressed, frowning and the eyebrows all knotted up, haha..

 

I'm sure all our bros and sis' angels were working on high alert that day too..

 

Cheers to them and thank God everyone is safe!!

 

Calebo, maybe ur angel fed up with you leh, cos you so naughty.. better pray pray more while resting at home!

hahah.. while i was more "angelic" last time, i used to picture angels around us.

 

u know dragon ball kinda character? when walking around, a guardian angel is above u. with a sign "Caleb is mine, keep away" this kinda thing. it's facinating but true indeed to a certain depth.

 

you know when walking alone at nite under ya void deck, 7th month when u know countless of hungry spirits around. Rumours of mischevious spirits etc while u are a protected species. hee!

To believe it or not is up to individual.. I believe its best to watch what you said when you're at this kind of places and ride within your own limits when you're at unfamiliar places.

Some info for those who are interested in knowing more about devils bend

 

Article extracted from other webby..

 

Located in Old Thomson Road, it used to be a grand prix race track in the 1960s. Devils Bend proved to be a particularly sharp corner where many drivers met their end. It was believed that the race track was closed down in the 1970s due to high fatal accidents there. It is obvious enough to know where the name Devil's Bend come from. Such a high fatal accident rate has made this particular traffic black spot a haunted place.

 

It was said that some souls of the drivers did not realize they were dead yet. Their souls continue to roam around that particular sharp corner as if they were still trying their best to make it, over and over again...

 

The Devils Bend

Skid marks on the road

Exact spot where Carrotz fell

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b37/eos08/DSC02364.jpg

 

 

Give yourself a quiet moment, imagine by looking at the photos, how was it like if you were racing along the road at 150km/hr? You don't really feel the speed under your helmet but you see things are moving fast (very fast!) backward. Your instinct tells you to steer left or right when you sense a turn ahead. All parts of your body were busy in coordinating the handling of the steering wheel, changing gears and pressing on the pedals. Fully concentrated you are driving, nothing else can bear to fit into your mind. Suddenly, a very sharp turn appears in front of you at a blink of eye. At only a split of a second, you see things rapidly turning upside down, the control on the steering wheel has gotten out of your hands, then a big bang followed by a blackout. All these happens almost simultaneously even before you feel any pain... (!) You have just imagined the last moments of the life of the car racers who died at Devil's Bend. Those who won the race got a prize, and those who didn't may have to pay a price.

The following photos were taken on a clear night with no raining or fog before or after. Suddenly there came a gush of ghostly orbs sweeping through the road. As in the first photo, these are not reflection of raindrop or whatever as the weather condition was fine. It nevertheless shows a large number of spirit orbs that was very rare. In the second and third photos, you can notice there is a patch of white substance on the road under the ghost orbs. We don't know what exactly that is, but it looks slippery. Wouldn't this contribute to the subsequent road accidents to be happened there?! There is a theory briefly says some haunted place will become more haunted because the restless souls there are looking out to find substitutes by causing more deaths. It is a multiplying effect as the spirits work as the factors of fatal accidents.

 

Obs as seen on the photos

After i saw those photos i almost thought that night u went home and brought your camera over to take the pic's of that bend... :faint:

:giddy:

Ironic statement from a buang cornered man..

 

Ride slow when negotiating corners! we're not rossi. we're not pro racers. unless u are confident and study the bend well, den better not do stunt.

 

Chamz! Ironic isn't it.

Haha, mag.. u think i so free ah? Was rushing home to nurse my poor little red eye :giddy:

 

 

Arsenz, camera effect or not i do not know cos i'm not the one that taken those photos. I merely extract them onto here.

As stated in the paragraph The following photos were taken on a clear night with no raining or fog before or after. I believe no effects or photoshop was used.

 

I think in one of our CH photos, such 'spots' had been shot too by your camera. I believe your camera dont have special effects too ba? :cheeky:

 

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b37/eos08/PICT7716aa.jpg

 

I had totally no idea what's those "white spots" or Orbs as they called it. If you search up on the net, they called it the 'energy field' of those spirits. Perhaps we can ask the HHH master Datok Ah Wan to give us more detail explaination on this phenomenon.

This part is the real killer along the whole stretch of road. I believe when we went the 1st time, you prolly experience it already ba.

 

As what whisk pointed out, this corner actually had 2 apexs. When travelling on the 1st lap, you prolly wont feel it as you are taking the outer lane thus u have more clearance and wider angle to clear the corner.

However on the returning lap, you will be travelling at the inner lane where u will encounter the corner to turn from a wide angle one to one more sharp turn towards the end of it..

This kind of thing to me is.. If you believe then there will be.. If you dont believe then there wont be.. Its your own beliefs and no one can make u think otherwise.

 

Its juz that trying to let you know that the 'orbs' thingy is a natural phenomenon that's kinda hard to explain. Prolly its like what wan had said.. its the 'heat field" if you choose to believe.

 

I used to think that these 'spots' might be caused by the dust speckers that's on our camera lens or perhaps like what u said lighting. But flares doesnt show up in spots as shown above and as i was going thru my folder to find the CH pic that i jus posted, i notice there's which u took at the same place, same lighting conditions but the 2nd photo was way "cleaner" than the 1st one so couldnt be ur camera lens is dirty ba.

 

I believe the source that i retrieve the info from, they are not trying to smoke anyone nor using digital technology to create unrest among readers.

In fact, the team(made up of working professions led by an ex-professor from NTU) are using modern techonology and scientific theories to explain some of the 'adnormal' phenomenon that we encounter in our daily life such as the 'marble dropping' issue at some of our HDBs. So for such a highly advanced team.. i also believe they wont go around taking photos with a dirty PNS camera ba..

Since photobucket is up again.. shall post some pics for viewing purpose.. :smile:

 

 

This was the pic i referring to earlier on.. Taken at the same spot under the same lighting conditions by the same camera.

This is how flares looks like due to lighting conditions. If you look closely, the outer left "white spot" is not circular but in the shape of octogon..

hmmm same here.. used to think it was due to dust particles on the lens that cause these effects, but when I take more shots without cleaning the len, the spots do not reappear in the other pictures...

 

What I'm guessing is because of the way maybe the digi cam captures an image , maybe because of the iso or lighting.. not too good with my image focusing and capturing theory.

 

But what I am trying to say is that, it is quite a common effect obtained from camera shots and I would think it is because of the camera and not because something was there and then that caused such an effect.

 

Well I'm not trying to say that whoever wrote about the devil's bend was trying to twist facts or make people believe that supernatural exist and they linger around that area. Probably they just wanna make it more sensational for his readers?

This i would say.. high chances of fungus residue in the lens of the camera.

 

As i mention earlier on.. multiple circles in one.. and after seeing the followup pics they seem be only appearing at the top left hand part of the picture

Well if those white spots are "energy fields" of spirits, then they must have quite like to hang around us...
