What is Tr3adMarkZ?

How The Dream Came About

“A BRICK TO THE FACE TO WAKE UP”. That’s honestly how it came about. I was knee deep in the middle of my engineering course. I was handling a whole lot of assignments and projects and it came knocking like it owns the house.

What Fuelled the Passion?

Cars, ever since I can remember I have just loved fast cars, I am a guy, no much explanation needed there. From there on it kinda caught on like veld fire and the dream kept expanding. I started taking photos at events and even started this blog to upload my experiences.

How The Brand Grew

From consistently attending events and blogging lead to me wanting to partake on the drift scene and be behind the wheel. But not on a professional level though. Still on a hobby level but find means to fund this passion of mine. Tr3adMarkZ the clothing brand was born.

Tr3adMarkZ | My Story:

HIATUS

2017-04-09T14:48:00.001+08:00

HIATUS

It has been quite the journey, I’m am sitting here feeding my daughter, yes, a little human came into my life, reminiscing about the lessons I’ve encountered. Life is indeed a roller-coaster ride, with a lot of uncertainties, and I’m learning every day that the successful individuals are those that get comfortable being uncomfortable. The journey really began when I made the conscious decision to venture deeper into my hobby and passion of motor-sports, little did I know that, that burning desire within will open doors to a whole different world.

The Snow Ball Effect

Everything I focused on seemed to have a snow ball effect, every step I took kept on building momentum that would propel me to the next step, and so long as I kept moving the more the momentum grew, always to a new and exciting path. To get started, I never needed any knowledge about to accomplish the task I had set for myself, but the drive in me was so strong that learning and picking up new skills became a breeze. For the first time, I enjoyed learning. Not to bash the school systems or anything, because I am here because of the “system”, I learned that learning things that I had passion for I absorbed material at an accelerated rate.

Uncertainty

Doubt, indecision, unknown, are words that pop up in my head whenever I am uncertain about the next step. But I have come to understand that life is uncertain, we live in the unknown and look to those who’ve had experience before us on this life journey. That has its pros and cons, so does everything else in life. Everyone is unique in their own way, and to follow another’s life path somewhat delays one from their own true calling. I like to believe we are all striving for something great, but how will you know your own greatness if you are constantly overshadowed by someone else? I guess that’s the scariest thing about being the driver of your own life, the fear of the pitfalls, the embarrassment that comes from failure of finding your own way and diverging from a well-worn and beaten path. Why does it seem difficult to prosper with your passion? How do I find the balance of pursuing that which I’m passionate about and make a living off it?

The Break

It was a much-needed break. The road less traveled has its frustrations and does require breaks to recuperate and refocus. The trick is to know when to back off, because sometimes it’s not that you’ve lost your passion on something, it’s just that your soul needs to rest. I am not a writer of any sort but I find it to be an interesting way to express something within.

The Experiment

Often time we try out new things to break free from the daily routine of life. I have enjoyed motor-sports ever since I could remember, during my schooling days I would look forward to car meets and track days, to spectate of course. I ended up deciding to start blogging about my experiences. Well, one thing lead to the other, from spectating to blogging I found myself wanting to take part in the events. The energy was just amazing. Well, the desires kept on opening new doors, new pathways, and so was the birth of Tr3adMarkZ.

Met a few cool people along the way, from up coming artists to an up coming drifter which is something great and I can only hope that this year I keep pushing, still don't know where i'm heading yet but ama keep walking on this journey!

Was Never Part of the Plan

2012-07-28T15:29:00.000+08:00

WHOA...talk about dusting the dust off a blog...been a bit busy with the whole t shirt thing, still am, have a photo shoot tomorrow and i'm trying to get shit in order! T shirts was never really part of the plan...Drifting was the plan but i guess things happen for a reason and the tees were a beautiful mistake :D. Working on the Big cartel shop at the moment, hopefully everything will be sorted soon and I can start taking orders! LINK: http://tr3admarkz.bigcartel.com/ DO NOT BUY YET!!! I'm on a steady grind, not really in a rush! but things are looking up!

Achilles Formula Drift Asia 2012 Malaysia

2012-05-26T07:00:00.000+08:00

NB: I'm not a professional photographer for you judgmental internet trolls hahaha they are everywhere, with that out of the way i hope you enjoy viewing!

My whereabouts

2012-05-16T11:42:00.000+08:00

I've been away from the Malaysian drift scene for a very long time now, I guess I can give a whole bunch of excuses as to why I haven't stepped out in a while. Well I have 1, and its the t shirts, something that wasn't really meant to become what it is right now but i played the cards I was dealt and a t shirt label is what came out of it. Hopefully by next week the production of the t shirts will be done and the online shop will be done as well! Even though a lot of changes came my way in the past year my main focus is still acquiring a KE70 and hit the scene! we'll see how things turn out! oh here's a pic of the coming tees.

New Years (2012)

2012-01-06T17:56:00.002+08:00

Personally a new year to me doesn't mean jack...if my life sucked last year i don't think it will change hahaha (i'm a pessimistic bastard). Anyhuu...happy new years reader, my head is twisted on a whole other level so wouldn't wanna pollute anyone. So just a quick update on the tees... Red

Black

Grind Never Stops

2011-12-02T07:16:00.001+08:00

I've been silent on this blog, i told my self that the next time i post something on it it should be something big, something worth while and i believe this is that thing....you are probable wondering what i'm talking about, well a few months back Tr3admarkZ pushed out t shirts to see how people would respond to them and i must say the feed back was satisfying. Even though i'm still in Malaysia its nice to know that there are people i can work with back home and move forward on this hustle... Big-ups Shay for making this happen blood, 3rd is the drop of STRANGERS (Blain N Shay Reverb Nation)...Khwezi good looking out blood, the skillz are on point. ENJOY
