SEOUL | NAMDAEMUN 4

One tip when travelling, don't just put your camera in front of your face all the time!

Take your time, enjoy the scene, indulge in the ambience, watch the crowd, because you just don't know when a moment like this happens.

WEDDING | A&O | That Purple Lady ...

.. one of the interesting aspect in doing wedding photography is capturing the arrival of guests ...

... u can see their expression .. be it happy of the auspicious day ... or even confuse .. ... confuse of getting their way ... .. where to go ... where to sit .... or the worst .... confuse if this is the right wedding address or not .... especially so if you are going to the Perpindahan area ..... hmmm....

PORTRAIT | Eh Tangahnya .. Anticipating ni ...

... In English .. we say ... Uncles or Aunts for our parents siblings or their level within .... then ... Sisters .. or Brothers ... but the thing is .. we don't know whether ... he is the older brother .. or younger brother ... or younger sister .. or youngest aunt ... or eldest uncle .. or what ...

.. where as in Malay .. we say "Tua Laki/Bini" for the eldest uncle/aunt .. and the youngest would be "Bungsu" or "unchu" or "usu" .. or the like .. then in between the eldest and the youngest .. in Malay we have .. Amit, Tangah, Iring, Asai, Uda ... hmmm... but not really sure about their arrangement thou .. which one comes first ... as different communities have their own interpretation ...

.. where as .. for older brother ... we call Abang .. or Kaka for older sister ... thou the elderly also use the term "ka" for their elder bro or family members .... whereas for the younger sibling ... we call them Adik .. or Adi ...

.. and to address "stranger" in Brunei .. instead of Mister or Ms .. we say "Awang" for man .. or "Dayang" for woman ....


.. hmmm... eh Mister DJ ... emangnya gimana sih...? ngak mau diputaren lagu eyah ...? ...

PORTRAIT | The Pondering Artist ....

Pondering ...

.. pondering of our future ....
... pondering about our mindset ...

.. why can't some people be so grateful ....
.. why can't they be so appreciative ...

... people .. be thankful of what we have now ...
.. appreciate what we are given now ...
.. you just don't know what you got til it's gone ...

... yet .. one can't just sit still and do nothing ...
.. don't just stay there in your comfort zone... being complacent...
.. venture out ... make some bold moves ...

.. helps to develop our nation ...
.. for the betterment of our generation and the next-gen...



(The hengsem guy above is just for illustration purposes... unpaid ... bagi makan saja.. nyaman tah atinya tu ... inda pun ... bawa nyanyi ....cam banar sulnya ah ... . :P )


Pondering ...
How some people don't even know how to use the 3-lanes roundabout ...
.... the car in the inner left most lane is to exit at the first exit only!

How some people don't know how to use the car's signal/indicator light...
... the indicator was designed to indicate where the car gonna turn and it is free!!! no need to pay

How some people think it is "cool" to use the fog-light when it is daymnd blinding bright!
.. the normal indicator is sufficient for our local road, the fog light is to be used when it is FOGGY!! only ... thr bright red light esp. made it difficult to distinguish either u r breaking or not!

How some people think it is "safe" to drive slow at the right lane, and over take at the shoulder (lane)...
... it is actually dangerous to drive slow at the right lane ... and stooooopeed to drive thru on the shoulder lane during traffic ... unless you are one of the emergency vehicle then that is another case ...

How come there are U-Turn at the highway/motorway ... but no U-Turn at the traffic light?
... tell me and proof me wrong that it is actually safe to make a u-turn at the highway/motorway during normal hours ... but I know and can prove it that is safe to make a u-turn at a traffic light/junction!!

Still so many questions... to be pondered upon ... but I'll just leave it as it is for now... unless u all want more....

.. otherwise.... go and PUNder yourself ...

SINGAPORE | The Next Top "Local" Model....?

.... hmmmm..... as if some sort of a symbiotic relationship ..... one loves to pose .... one loves to take photo ... ... ermmmm...

... could he be the next big thing in our local celeb scene.. after Wu Zhun? .... or was he before Wu Zhun ... hmmmm....


... the local celeb .. who's trying to be "local" ....at the locale ...

... the celeb .. " ... hmmm.. I don't want too much light on my face ... make it just eermm.. it is there... but not there....? .... The light I mean... "

... adeeeh banyak demand jua .... model nya ni .... ku ikat karang bawah merlion biar basah kena aying fountain ah ..... Huahahaha..... atau .. mau di Palm Garden Hotel ... ?

BRUNEI | WEDDINGS | The Guy & The 3 Models ...

... in any event anywhere.. be it in Brunei.. or elsewhere.... for sure... there are those who are camera shy ... .. those who turn away as soon as you direct the lens ... or even the light(for videographer) towards them .... there are some who will be a 'lil agitated ...

.... and of course ... those camera friendly ... they will approach ... "lure"... the photographer to capture their "not-so-candid" pose ... ;p ....


.. the guy ( who think that he is Kevin's Backstreet Boys lookalike ....but now he thinks he looks like Brad Pitt ....?? ....).... and the 3 next top model ladies .... ;p

BRUNEI | EVENTS | HM's 61st B'Day | Bersama Rakyat 2

... behind the scene of the Bersama Rakyat event ...

... one of the young cadets during the event .....

... eermm... this one was taken with the Sigma 70-300mm... honestly ... I like this lens... price wise it is "cheap" ... yet .. still manage to give a good sharp photo ... ( please don't compare with the "L" sharpness.... it is just like comparing Apple and Oreo ...) ... nice bokeh ... and such .... compact .. n lightweight ... with a semi macro function .. (1:2) ....

... but I guess... the Sigma have seen its better days .. it is now coming to it's "retirement" period ..... might need to buy a new replacement .....
