It was our last day of work for the year 2006, I arrived at 8.10am yet there were less than 10 cars at the car park. I guess more than 50% of the personnel population went on leave including 2 from our section. And the heavy rain in the afternoon was just a perfect weather for a hot chocolate.

Internet is still unstable today, I believe its one of the effect of the Taiwan earthquake yesterday. Talking about natural disasters, also flood and torrential rain in Malaysia and so much for the tsunami scare along Kuala Belait's coastline. I guess it's time to prepare some sort of a contingency plan now.

Thirsty? Drop by Gadong's Pasar Malam or Night Market! Not to mention the wide varieties of food, the Night Market offers a wide range of hot or cold drinks. From freshly extracted sugar cane juice, coconut milk, varieties of syrups to the Asian version of tea latte called Teh Tarik. Hydrate all you can!

BruNet connection is terribly slow today, I don't know if you guys experienced the same. I just hope I can successfully post this. Anyway more photos of architectural touch in Brunei.. featuring The Empire Hotel and The Mall.

A caterpillar's final moments

I've seen Bruneian's post-processing of RAW images and it's breathtaking. It added more life and realism to the images or as Zadm said 'it adds ummph' although it takes a lot of time. And I must agree, it is worth the time! Check out my first RAW post-processing and tell me what you think. Comments and critics are most welcome, I'm still new with this hence I really need them :) Also I've submitted the photo to JPG Magazine. I need a little favour I would really appreciate, just a few minutes of your time. Please help me by voting the photo, click the JPG link on the top right-hand side of this website. Thanks a lot!

Actually no jobs are stressful provided you have a good environment and nice people to work with, or perhaps few colours in your work place.
