BRUNEI | GXFC | Part I

Like most enthusiast, looking for photo opp, the Chinese New Year is one not to be missed, one reason is due to its vibrant colours.

I've got quite a number of photo during the event, not quite sure how to better upload it.

I used to upload tens of photos at one time, but some complaint that, it took some time for the images to be displayed, thus I decided to just post a single photo each day.

But I guess, for the time being, I'll try to post few photos in a post.

Hope everything goes well.

CLASSIFIED ADS | For Sale | Lowepro & Fotofile Bag

I am actually contemplating to let go of these stuffs, as they are very practical and fit for my purpose.

After some heavy thought, I am ready to let these two very good stuffs go.

The reason why, I am selling these bags are because, I have got another camera bag ( I really like to get camera bags, don't ask me why), but I don't have enough space to store these bags, so rather than letting it gather more dust, so I hope they could get to a new rightful owner.

So here there are:

1. Lowepro Mini Trekker AW

Lowepro needs no introduction, for those who are into photography, should know what Lowepro is capable of, and how strong or durable the brand is, if you do not know what Lowepro is, perhaps you are still a newbie, a new newbie even.

According to their website the outer fabric is water resistance and there is also an All-weather cover. There is also a tripod/monopod carrier and it is great for travelling and hiking!

I rarely use this bag actually, used only for storing my gears.

So I won't elaborate more about this bag. For more info, you can go to their site.


2. Fotofile Professional Bag P-1

Now, this is an underdog of camera bag. There are loads and loads of compartment that I, myself get lost sometimes!

For those who have loads of photography gears, these is good news for you. the pockets are everywhere, big one, small one, ultra small one. Zipped compartment, velcro, straped lock you name it, this bag got it all!

It can also be a shoulder bag, or it can also be a waistbag. Honestly, I use this bag more than I use the Lowepro.

This bag should not be ignored by the way, for me, the way how I rate stuff is by checking if they have got there own website or not, if certain items does not have their own website, then it might be dodgy, but if they got their own website, then, they should be reliable.

So yeah, this bag have got its own website here.

WORLD | Gong Xi Fa Cai

Most Chinese community the world over are celebrating their "Big" day today.

Chinese New Year is the time for giving & happiness.



What the Belly Dance is to the Egyptian and thereabout, the Chinese New Year is not complete without the Lion Dance.

It is customary to give "Ang Paw" (red packet containing few sum of money), to the Lion, and usually the Lion will be feed with cabbage, these traditions are meant for good luck, longevity and prosperity.

Just like the Prosperity Burger, which are out annually, so does the "Ang Paw", but what happen to the Knights of Prosperity? It was a hilarious series what.

TRAVEL | The Lonely Alley

A Contrast to the previous post, this area seems to be quiet.

Even the people at the very end seems to be walking away from the lonely alley.

Not even the alley cats are in sight!


The quiet alley.

Or maybe, most of the people are going back home to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
