15 July: Dirgahayu Kebawah Duli Tuan Patik

Category: BFF, Brunei, Photos


Our monarch, His Majesty the Sultan of Brunei.

On 15 July 2008, is His Majesty’s 62nd Birthday celebration which took place at the SOAS Field, Bandar Seri Begawan. Along with many other photographers, the BFF photogs went as well to capture moments, people and maybe a glimpse of HM through the viewfinder.

Before HM’s arrival, R and I went along the sidewalk, catching shots of students, teachers waiting .. armed with little flags. It was a hot day, but everyone was smiling and waiting patiently.


A shot of me taken by R, as I hid behind some lamp post to get some shade XD

As many as 30 BFF photogs came down to Bandar, and what’s fun is seeing more new faces and getting to know them, sharing stories and being silly and having fun…

BFF Photogs @ Babu’s Kitchen

I had a great time, even if I was a little sleepy and I did NOT get the shots I wanted, I’ll wait for next year’s and hopefully with even more new faces.. :)

Theme change

Category: Cats, Photos, Site

Changed my theme back to Mukkamu as I’m the happiest with this theme, content size and sidebar edits all done to my taste already… Actually this theme is perfect, I was just getting bored with the blackness :P

With this change, I’m testing out a wp plugin I’ve always wanted to try: Simple Viewer. Hopefully it works!

This SimpleViewer gallery requires Macromedia Flash. Please open it in your browser or get Macromedia Flash here.

Bandar Outing

Category: BFF, Photos


Group Photo by airbiscuit

It was an awesome outing last night, attended by more than 20 photogs! The only outing that can rival it was this year’s National Day outing, which was attended by more than 35 photogs. The weather last night proved uncooperating though, so we were forced to cut it short and went back to Coffee Bean to chill and compare photos and take some more photos!

Here are some shots from last night, mostly taken by Jim747 and Souljah :) (Sleeping dragon pic taken by Mirez, thank you)

July Theme: Specific Colour

Category: BFF, Brunei


Watching their dads playing soccer. Muara.

Congrats to the June theme challenge winners!! It was quite a challenge, I really didn’t have anything nice to submit for the Night Photography theme. Meh, next one then. Which is July’s theme: SPECIFIC COLOUR. A photo highlighting / screams out one particular colour. eg from VFXY  and National Geographic. I’ll have to plan early for this one as July is shaping up to be a busy month!

Tonight there is a night outing with members of the BFF in Bandar to capture the beautiful coloured lights of the festive celebration for His Majesty’s upcoming 62th Birthday. Please come early, by 7.45PM for the group photo shot by airbiscuit. Meet up point is the Giant Flag and we will wrap up the evening with lepak at Coffee Bean. Going to play with me 50mm tonight. Can’t wait!

Hellboy II

Category: Bebeh, Movies, Rant

Premiering this Thursday!

The truth is I haven’t told you the truth. Cowardly am I, but at least I’ve told you what I have been feeling, and what you said that night was just the last straw. So don’t tell me you’re not going to tell me stuff anymore. If that’s what you want, what the hell do you need me for then, if not to share stuff with. What I said to you was not just about what you said that night. Ok? It was the accumulation of some time. Just.. try to keep an open mind and think about why I said it.

Q is back

Category: Bebeh

Q’s back. In a way I’m glad he is, but well… life’s not and never will be perfect or the way you want it to be. You’ll just have to accept it and make the best with what you have. What am I randoming about? Let’s throw a welcome back party !!! =D

Bebehless: Day 5

Category: Bebeh, Brunei, Eat, Exercise, Hoti, Movies

Germany 0 - Spain 1

Euro 2008 finishes with an unexpected winner. Q was right, its always not who people thought it’d be. I was sure Germany’d win! Oh well, I didn’t follow Euro after Italy got booted out. Disappointed! But congratulations are in order for THE winner, Spain. Really unexpected and they’re really doubly celebrating the fact that the last time they got it was 44 years ago!

BDAC Walkathon

Woke up at 6am to go for the walkaton @ Stadium. The turnout was really really low this year, probably due to very little publicity being done. I was expecting loads of people, taking last year’s hugely successful turnout into account, as retold by some photogs who went for last year’s. The good thing was the support from BFF members coming to the event, hopefully we all learn a lot with every outing, and meet more new photogs!

After that went to JC for breakfast and lepak with the new faces in BFF.. Cuba try testing lenses, the usual lalalaaa…

I didn’t want to go home yet (and do what, sleep?? and waste my sunday??) so went to BE lepaks for a while to cool off in the aircon and doing my online routine (have I said I can’t live without the internet?) XD until lunchtime and went back to aptmt to try and sleep, as I was planning a BE session for phoenixlancer’s bday. Turned out had a good time hanging out with Simi and Seph and PL of cos over the yummeh-iest coffee cheesecake evar!

Watched The Accidental Husband and The Other Boleyn Girl .. as sleeping proved impossible. Hm. Then rushed to get cake for PL and luckily I was their last customer mwahaha.

Blue Eden

Texted BFF members whose contacts I have, to come to BE by 7.30, and to PL at 8pm and then lepaked while gaming on Maple. Hehe! The cue was when I stood to go inside and the boys were to get ready their cameras. Waheyy it went well but two of the candles got blown off by the aircon, hehe. Cake was delicious and it was ALSO coffee flavoured cheesecake! It was fate I tell you.

Caught a movie after that. Which movie? You’ve gotta ask yourself this… “What the fuck have you done lately??”. Haha yes, its the WANTED movie, starring James Mc Avoy. With Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman amongst the cast. I rate this movie 20/10! I was advised not to think about it (storyline) and just enjoyed the action, so I proceeded to do just that, but in the end, I thought about it, and altough it IS farfetched, it is what entertaiment is supposed to do. I was happily and awesomely entertained with this movie. WATCH IT NOW! 

So Happy Birthday again PL and hope you had a good time on your day!

Update on Guam:

The paper reported on the Guam vs Brunei game yesterday afternoon. Was it 6pm here when it was 4pm there? *confused* Unfortunately Guam was too strong for Brunei as they scored 74 - 0 against Brunei. I’ll still bet Guam dudes will be sore after receiving tackles from our boys.

There will be another game on 2 July, Brunei vs Philippines. Come on boys!!
