This pic is what I call a "decisive moment"

Pics below were taken during the June birthday bash at the BIL and SIL residence in Tutong. There are so many birthday celebrants in our family for the months of May and June I’ve actually lost track! Anway, I wasn’t able to attend as I had the Saiful Nang workshop on that Sunday. Pics were [...]

My fascination for faces went into hyperdrive last weekend…
Du Fu’s Ballad of the Beautiful Ladies
On the third day of the third moon, gentle breezes blow,
Upon the waters by whose edge they come and go,
Women of richest beauty (thoughts as pure as snow).
Fine bones curve soft flesh (soft as nightfall’s [...]

I’ve caught the biking bug… I can’t stop thinking about them! So in an attempt to purge these thoughts out of my system, I thought I’d post this random series of pics so we can all enjoy their naked splendour! Hee hee!
Pics taken last week when da gangsta and I were invited by Cikgu Nadiah (“,) to speak to a group of final year students doing the property management course at MTSSR.

A new ballet school will be opening soon to serve the ever-growing needs of children whose parents see the value in developing their artistic and dance talents. The school is located in Kiarong, which looks to me like its becoming a hub for dance studios. I counted at least 3 dance studios in the area.

Faces from the 24th National Day celebrations at Taman SOAS in the capital last Saturday. Part of patriotism is the willingness to stand up and be a part of the celebrations. The act of waking up at the crack of dawn, driving all the way to town… thats a sacrifice in itself isn’t it?
Ok more like 5 minutes… It was a challenge to myself to get to know the subject and get her comfortable in front of Abigail and shoot some test portraits, all in a space of 10 minutes! It was awesome fun!
By the way, for those of you who haven’t done so, check out my VALENTINE [...]
Pics taken at a “majlis doa selamat bakal2 jemaah haji” at my ministry a couple of days ago.

The zikir crew were awesome! I seriously thought it was a CD playing! Turns [...]

Feels like your visit’s been too short me old mate. But I understand the need to get back to your life in Vancouver. Its been a heck of a buzz having you around man! As always, when an old buddy visits from afar, its a catalyst for the ones who are nearby to get [...]

The Brunei Adventure Race 2007 mini teaser this morning was a resounding success. Over 80 people turned up to try out the race and I think they got what they came for… ADRENALINE! It was totally action-packed from start to finish!
Age was definitely not a factor this morning cos a team of 40 somethings actually [...]
Went walkabout yesterday at Kiulap while waiting for my students to turn up. Came across Sapphira Cake House which I’d been meaning to visit since it opened two weeks ago. The trays were empty when I got there, which means sales must be brisk. The lovely young lady at the counter informed me that a [...]
Syarikat Haji Metali dan Anak2 had been around for a long time and is a well known institution in Brunei, especially for their cendol. Even His Majesty himself tried the delighful sweet green dessert when he visited SHMA in Serusop during one of his visits around the area some time ago.
For me however, SHMA will [...]

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Lim on your triple-7 wedding today!It was an honor for me to cover it. Now, go forth and multiply…
Oh, and it was nice meeting you AND your RED Nokia E90, d3x.
4th of July, to all Americans signifies their Independence Day. But to da missus and I, its the date we tied the knot. Looking through our wedding album, I can’t help but think what the album would’ve looked like had we tied the knot at the present moment, with the prevalence of photojournalistic style and [...]
Many thanks to the Canadian High Commission for inviting me to the Canada Day reception this afternoon. It’s great to see so many Bruneians with links to Canada in one way or another, including yours truly, with mainly family and business links.
Academically however, my ties are stronger with Australia. Incidentally, the Brunei-Australia Alumni Association will [...]
Old school photo manipulation… All analog… None of that adobe photoshop digital crap. This was taken circa 1977 (waaahhh THIRTY YEARS AGO!!!) in Penang, I think. You could choose which special effect you wanted and the photographer would ask you to pose accordingly.
For this airborne shot, I had to pose on a bench with my [...]
