Cloud-ology

Seen on the way to work one morning. Awesome cloud formation, I just had to stop by the roadside and take this one. Nature has a way of painting the sky with water vapor!

RTB Carnival (deuxieme partie)

One of the signatures of Brunei Cottage Industry -- Kain Tenunan Asli. These rich hand woven brocades can reach 4 figure prices!

Untold riches...of fake gems! Anything will look good under professional lighting.

Gastric problems are generally termed "dugal" in Brunei Malay. But its funny how they spell this one out -- trying to market their medicines.

Kids were drawn to the RTB mascots.

Walkabout Pics

My 5DmII is still too heavy for me in my current condition, so during my morning physio walkabout around the my parents' house, I used my simplistic Nokia E71 camera to take these shots. For such a simple camera, its got a Macro Mode -- you can see the ever so slight DoF effect. Considering how tiny the imaging sensor is, not a bad effort Nokia!

Knee Surgery

Alhamdulilah my anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery went well last Thursday, 19th February 2009. I made good progress and was discharged Saturday, 21st February 2009. They made 2 keyhole incisions just below the patella, and a 5cm main incision below the knee. In total they made 7 stitches. My right foot is blue black due to immobility for the first 3 days. The red welts behind my knee were due to the tight bandaging. I'm now on crutches, slowly trying to get back flexibility, before my first main physio later this week.

Putting a good mirror to good use hehe...

RTB Carnival

Decided to join my friends at the ICC today (15.2.2009) for the RTB Carnival. The place was full of visitors, and we had to park way way off. Never one to miss a photo opportunity, we made the best of it by taking loads of shots.

C'est Moi

I like to take photos, not the other way around. But this is one of those rare occasions when I let people take a shot at me. In this case my friend Redz who was experimenting with strobbing. I think he's on his way to a new career hehe...

30sec Shutter

If youre wondering what it looks like, this is it. This one was taken near Kiulap, on the night of the fireworks.

On Top of BSB

Its a long walk up this abandoned multistorey carpark, but once up there on the roof, its worth it. The view is fantastic. Just dont lean on the low railing, thats all. Its a LONG way down.

What I Miss (During the Monsoon)

These days its hard to get see a good sunset, what with the overcast sky if not rain towards evening. Fortunately previous photos captured such moments, as a reminder and hope for the brighter days ahead.
