Peregrine falcons of the night - the wheel of fate
Ken’s racing car. He bought it from a friend without acknowledging his parents, and turned it into a mean machine.
“I just want to have fun. Win or lose, doesn’t matter.” My subject of study, Ken, told me.
Ken is one of those typical teenagers who had silver spoon in their mouth. We studied in same college, and we played against each other in pickup basketball games, so we knew each other on last name basis.
That was my ticket into the world of illegal racing.
I discovered that when I saw him waiting for his car to be tuned, in the garage I’m sending my car to for a regular checkup. Having no luck with the racing crew, I decided it’s best to approach him, to see if he knows anything about the races.
“Yea, I’m in it too. The car you’re looking at is my racing car. Need to change tire, the current set exhausted already.”
I was so surprised it took me a few seconds to process what I just heard. It’s too much of an opportunity to let go, so I hung on to it as tight as I can, and eventually got myself the green light to ride along with him.
Got myself into more surprises too.

Cute, ain’t it?
Chloe
Different angles portray different images; today’s casual street portrait is a living testament to that law. She looked way better in studio portraits done by professionals. Then again, I hate post process photos. Irregardless, I like her this way too, even though it can be done in a better way (my fault).
They are the law so there’s nothing we can do
A policeman armed with a submachine gun is supervising a car washing crew cleaning the police vehicle. The car washing crew operates without license at a back alley, located somewhere in Anggerik Vanilla, Kota Kemuning. I was there observing, pretending to be a customer as well. The policeman drove away without paying afterwards.
