Sorry for the slow update, I've been terribly occupied with work lately. Also Yas's wedding is coming up and it's my first wedding experiment. Of course the official photojournalist is none other than the great David Cheok and Bald. Here are few shots during the Malam Berbedak ceremony, one of the preliminary ceremonies before the actual wedding. Bruneian wedding is full of colours yea. I'll upload more photos into my Fotopic soon.

The Brunei Marathon 2006 was hot on the papers despite the soaking wet start. It was not that successful as last year and I bet the organisers will have lots of answering to do. I wanted to go down to take snaps of the event but too bad I'm not really a morning person.

I'm having fun with slow shutter speed. One nice evening I dropped by SKH Kiulap to grab a crepe, I decided to take out my camera/tripod and captured some streaks of lights against a soothing dusk sky. Excuse the lens glare. I'm gonna experiment more on long exposures when I have time. Currently, my job is killing me.

One of the events in Bruneian marriage is the Majlis Menghantar/Menerima Berian or presentation or receipt of dowries which is a gift of money or valuables given by the groom's family to the bride (vice versa). Check out this pic below, one of the gifts from the groom.

The Hajj is the pilgrimage to Mecca in Islam and is the fifth of the Five Pillars in Islam. Every able-bodied Muslim who can afford to do so is obliged to make the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in his/her lifetime.

Floras of Brunei - Part 2
I don't know the 'official' or 'scientific' name of this plant. All I know is that the local name for it is "Misai Kucing" or "Cat's Whiskers", you can clearly see the resemblance. I heard this plant is used as a remedy for diabetes. I'm not sure how it works though.

I have a friend from overseas who said Brunei lacks architectural touch. I'm not really sure whether to agree with the statement or not, what say you?
