This year I committed to being more active and adventurous — aside from winning the office badminton masters. What really caught me by surprise was how much I really enjoyed go-karting this year. Here are my little milestones from the year so far:
April: Indoor Karting in Kuantan (East Coast Mall)
There were six drivers in total — all male — and I finished third. Not bad for my first attempt! It was such an adrenaline rush, and it instantly sparked my interest to do it again.
May: Karting in Langkawi (Morac Adventure Park)
The next round came in May during a trip to Langkawi. My colleague and I headed to Morac Adventure Park Langkawi, one of Malaysia’s most scenic karting circuits.
This time, there were eleven drivers on the track — once again, I was the only female — and I finished fifth. It wasn’t about winning though; it was the thrill, the smell of the track, the engine sound, and that satisfying mix of fear and excitement that made it unforgettable.
June: Family Karting—with My Son & Husband (Pinnacle Kart)
In June, after attending a wedding nearby, I decided to bring my family along for a fun session at Pinnacle Kart, Subang. It was my first time driving a twin-seat go-kart, with my son as my co-pilot!
Of course, safety came first, so we kept it slow and steady. Still, we had a little laugh when we overtook my husband — who happened to get stuck at the curbside during a turn. A small victory, but a sweet one!
