last hours of being just 28..

Started my day yesterday, with a bright sunny day. Very nice day indeed.

1st stop, I went to Matadoe with my girlfriend ;-) We had brunch there. For those who has never been there, its at Mata-Mata area, near Mamih. It has this very Spanish ambient. Very espanyol.. Olee!









I like this policy about smoking at Matadoe. Apparently an Idiot couple chose not to follow this policy. It clearly says, please ask the people beside you if they would mind, before smoking. They ignore this and smoked away.



Soooo I gave an ANGRY BULL look, [I was feeling very espanyol haha] towards the both of them, indirectly saying, "if you don't put that out, I'm gonna punch your nose, specifically your nose". Hehe yes I was that annoyed LOL. Oh and not long after, they put their ciggies out, ate their food and left immediately hahaha. Conquest! wtf! hehe




There's a Dance Alley somewhere near Matadoe. It says alley and not class so.. hehehe no comment!

Went home to visit Ningning. She's sick again. Well, more like she has an open wound near her leg. Waiting for it to dry up, then the vet can stitch it up. Some nature shots at home..







After 2 months of not visiting to the Mall hehe.. I'm not sure why too, we decided to pay a visit. Oh that was just because I had to go to Deejay to send my n70 for repairs. My LCD kaputs. So yea, we decided to pay the Mall a visit hehe.. WHATEVER





1st stop was at Jenny's Comtrend. Think it's just a few shops beside that big expensive gym hehe. A must stop and look/buy store for women who are into bags haha.. LV, Gucci, Prada, Fendi & lots more.. Check it out!



BAGS!!



MORE BAGS!!



AARRGGHHHH MORE BAGS!!!! hehehe..





This crazy white haired toy caught my attention. Don't know how much that cost tho hehe.



Feng shui kitties for luck. They should be inviting than waving don't you think? hehe



This is Jenny, young, single and successful. When are you gonna get married Jen!? hehe

Charles & Keith. What's interesting about it is the fact that they come up with new shoes for women every other month. What about men? We have need too haha



These 2 ladies, they came with my cousin Jeff when I was taking the shot above. Remember, one of you should start dating him when I bump into you guys again ;-)



I noticed the lady, trying on the slipper, brought a camera bag, and I couldn't resist not peeking at her "equipment" (there's a story bout this word hehe). It was a Canon Rebel XT a.k.a 350D 18-55mm. When I was checking out her "equipment", I noticed she had most of her settings on manual. Interesting. She told me, what's the point of getting an SLR when you want to go auto. She has a point there, but, if you're shooting fast moving people or events, you'd be missing out on a lot of things. I didn't catch her name, so if you happen to be reading this, join us for a few outings. It'll be nice to see what you see when you pause :-)

iWalk, more shoes for woman! tsk tsk tsk.. speaks for itself haha..









$20ish boots.. Seriously





Paris Hilton got her shades here..







We watched "The Covenant" at 3.40pm, it was a good movie. Very Underworld+Matrix+Something Something.. Very original I might add. Go watch it..



We had an early dinner at McD, finally get to try out the Flipover Grilled chicken.. Not bad ;-)



I think this is the best shot of the Mall for me. I've seen this angle somewhere, Devin Kho's perhaps, in B&W.



Lastnite, sometime just before midnight, we went to CB Gadong to meet up with Yus and Ilya for drinks. Ilya is Yus' long lost girlfriend hehehe. Surprisingly, I manage to find a good parking spot on my first attempt entering centrepoint *phew* hehe. You know how bitchy it is getting a Parking at Gadong on Saturdays. What's up with that!? hehe..

2nd time around, I've ordered Mocha, because it has the least amount of coffee in it.. so they say hehe..



Waiting here for a few minutes, I noticed 2 blended drinks in front of me, looking left and right, there was no one waiting for their drinks. A few seconds later, the CB staff told me those are mine. Blended!? I didn't specifically say blended. I asked for Mocca. See why I prefer CB Bandar, I prone to these kinda lil problems at CB Gadong.. pfft..



A slice of applepie, its alright, not WOW enough for me ;-)



These busciuts cost $1 per piece, and umm no comment hehe..



A CCTV in the corner, coffee theives perhaps? haha



One of my may fav drinks. ESPRIT, if you reading this, think it's time to sponsor me for advertising hahaha



Now this really caught my attention, its an aircon duct. Really? haha its atually that power socket that caught my attention. If you run out of wall sockets, don't be sad, look up and hook it up there hahaha..



Yus checking out the chick with his hidden eyes LOL



This is Yus's girlfriend, Ilya hehe



Ah yes, poor lil Sony, with the Lomo lense attached hehe.. one of those experimental days..



Sulhi, also famously known as Muna. Reason being hehe.. Ask him if you bump into him. One very chill out dude



My Girlfriend.. hehe.. guess where?



Ilya and boyfriend stopped somewhere for some shots.



Those white lines you see, those are headlights from 2 cars. No they weren't going at the speed of light. Slowed down the shutter speed to get this effect hehe. One the left side of the picture, There was a car that passed by, but due to the brightness of the road, I was unable to catch the brakelights. Next time ;-)



I forgot what these flowers are called, wanted to count all of them but I stopped at 1305. Hey it was midnight and I was tired hehe



Now guess where can you find this castle?



A different angle. Got the answer?



Here, maybe through the mirror? No? hehehe



Would these help? Unless you don't know what these are too hehe



Maybe these ladies can help you find the answer, no? Lady shutterbugs.



Hehe.. we were at Empire LOL.. WOW!! haha

28 is here..

Happy Old Day to me hehe..

28 years / 1456 weeks / 10199 days

Since today is my birthday, I'll just do a slideshow of what happened today. Plus its late already hehe.. I'll do the caption and all tomorrow morning hehe ;-)

blur..

Hmmm.. been trying to upload a flash file but the size keeps messing up.. help anyone? hehe

Gosh it's so warm tonite! My nose has been sweating since I got back from work. Urgh work, don't even get me started heh. Not that I hate what I'm doin, but for that job category, I should be earning just as much as it's suppose to. Blergh.. I'm not making any sense here hahaha..

Shots.. lets see, what did I froze today. Driving up in the morning, nothing unusual on the highway..



..well maybe if they could shorten this stretch of the highway to make my journey more shorter? haha



One, well it's not really stressful.. no wait.. it is, if your like f***ing late. Just in case you can't see what the sign says, and in the manner I took this shot it shows how bored I am with this sign hehe, it's "REVERSE PARKING", reason being, "..in the event of fire, we suggest you grab any of your belongings, assemble at the assembly points and go home..". Like as if no one's gonna run straight to their car and start flocking off the scene! I'd assume, ASSUME, just an assumption, even if you're reversed parked, the jam's gonna be massive and so at the end, what's the rush!?



Exhibit A, through my shade of course hehe, without the shade, he/she would probably think I'm some random pervert hahaha.. I pity you innocent lil fools for reversing hehe..



Hey, if you can't beat it, join the crowd. Watch it Mr Tree, I'm reversing here hehehe..

As always, nothing much but just a few random shots off my desk hehe.



Number 70 of cutting board made as my mousepad.. wtf am I blabing about!?



My favourite mini metal pail that holds paper clips, bulldog clips, staples and a nail cutter.. yes I'm clean :-P



I always wonder, every time, during my journey on the highway, the clouds and sky on that side is always picture perfect..



This is what you'd normally see as a passenger when I'm on the highway ;-)

And now I'm still wondering how am I gonna upload that flash file hmmm. Think I should take a (ci) break. I have Dot to accompany me.



Mr Dot listening to some chill house tracks, on my spot of the couch! heh..

individual performance yada yada yada.. so they say..

Seems like we're the quality or standards of work has been enhanced again.. or shall I say.. tougher hehehe. I had to attend a mandatory talk about individual performance umm I forgot the last bit. Yes I didn't pay much attention cos it was kinda demotivating. Improve this, work harder, put in more efforts, show your skills.. so they say.. but the idea of increment? how bout a huge bonus? No? hehe

In a bee? Or are we just being patriotic haha..



I came on the dot yet I see many empty seats. Is there something these people know that I don't? haha



And so it begins..



The handout filled with new ideas.. so they say..



Too much to absorb!? hehe Relax..



Lost interest already? Dial 1800-SO-THEY-SAY hehe



"Dear diary, today they told us that we have to be a bit more pro-active and take in more work in the most nicest possible way.. hahaha.. its true!!



Only when it's over you get to see smiles from these ladies hehe. I don't know, I just think the company needs to go deeper and find a way to balance between the new expectations and the staff's compensation?

Afterwork, I dropby to one of my many favourite shops in Brunei, had some arrangements to attend to there..



Duplicate keys anyone? Yea I was bored waiting hehe..



Thats a classic.. $350 anyone? ;-)



I want this cube thingy, but they won't give it to me hahaha.. don't know what it's for though hehe..



One of the many things in my Birthday Wishlist *hint hint*



She saw.. she turned.. I ter-Release shutter hahaha..

Next week maybe they'll be some new toys to play with ;-) Enjoy your day everyone..

save the forest.. so they say..

Since the sun was just too perfect today, I had to drop by somewhere to get some shots of the day.. and NO not at the purple tree hehehe. That can wait another day. I stopped at the Berakas forestry reserve before going home. First thing that caught my attention were some meaningless signboards. Well to me that is hahaha..

1st I saw Zone D.. ummm.. what!?



My understanding was, no dogs allowed in Zone D? hehe



Then there's Zone C.. umm.. what again!?



Then Zone A.. hey what happened to Zone B?



Then the Rules, at the beach!? Why!? hehehe..

Then I started snapping nature..



Riding waves.. but he just end up waiting hehe.. sorry dude, no 10 feet waves in Brunei hehehe..



Huts to watch the sunset..



An old couple taking a stroll..



A cliff thingy hehe.. hey that's me shadow hehe..



Roots from dry rocks..



Jogger..



The first of the beach front..



Closer..



Even closer but slower..



Closest & slowest..



Played with the shutter and ISO, and this is what I got..



Speechless haha.. I'll leave the commentating to you..







Good night ;-)

healthy lifestyle programme.. so they say..

Apart from the normal day at work, we had HLP (the title), it's like ECA for the company. Balancing out between work and life.. so they say hehe. Being a member of the HLP team organizing the outings or sports for the week, today we chose the Billionth Barrel run, for starters, after Raya celebration hehehe..

Clear blue skies.. Sweat guaranteed hehe



1st batch to arrive at the Barrel..



Must make one round at the barrel before going back hehe



Rina Red (ironicly she's wearing pink haha)checking if everyone has completed the walk.. No more? Time to go home ;-)

For your info, we have to complete at least 6 HLP activities in a year. Part of our Task & Target.. so they say hehe..
