JAPAN | ASAKUSA

2011-09-16T22:42:00.000+08:00

It has been awhile I have not post anything, been very busy with work, nevertheless, that those not hinder my passion for photography.

There are still thousand and thousand of travel photos yet to be processed and to be shared, unfortunately got no chance to really sit down and processed them all, some say just use jpeg mode, but I still prefer .raw 'coz after traveling thousand of miles and spending a fortune on your travel, u don't wanna mess with your treasured moments, so that's a good tip for those travel photographer, if you treasure your moment, do not compromise in your photo storage, capture it as "raw" as possible.

With that, as to keep this blog back on the feet, I present Asakusa, one of the many districts in Tokyo.

MACAU | 57th Macau Grand Prix 18-21 Nov 2010

2010-11-11T17:38:00.000+08:00

This weekend will be the last race for F1 2010, which will decide the WDC 2010 title, and next F1 will only starts some time around March 2010.

Anyhow, this 18-21 Nov 2010, it will be the 57th Macau Grand Prix, quite a tight street circuit.

Just some photos of the arena taken last few weeks.

The venue is just a stone throw away from the ferry terminal.

The colourful seats for the spectators.

A glimpse of the pitstop area.

Info & Parking area.

The pitstop area, the surface is being scrapped off, to make way for new layers of tarmac.

Temburong Waterfront

2010-09-21T21:35:00.000+08:00

It's been a while I have not posted nor even taken any photo with a proper camera gear, due to work commitments, which made it quite difficult or awkward rather, to bring my DSLR, because, otherwise I might overshadow or steal the thunder of the official photographers... Huahahahaha

Anyhow, still, I can't help shooting photos via the lo-res mobile phone camera, but due to the shutter lag, "the moment" usually left me behind.

Nevertheless, what made me thankful despite the hectic work schedule, is during lunch time, I think we have one of the best, if not the best, view from our office's canteen.

And, hopefully, if everything goes well, insya Allah, you will see new changes to the waterfront, there is already a new project in our pipeline.

Temburong Waterfront, I tried to upload a larger image, unfortunately, everytime I tried to upload the image, it will be reduced automatically, Oh well, at least there is something.

mBLOG | No Food No Shoe Sign

2010-02-26T15:23:00.000+08:00

BOSS: Hey Bob, I can no longer tolerate the cleanliness of the bouncer that we rented out, so can you put a notice in front of the bouncer.

BOB: eer, boss what should I put?

BOSS: ... hmmm... just put NO FOOD NO SHOE sign.

BOSS: BOOOOOBBBB!!!

CAMBODIA | The Artist within the Ruins

2010-01-22T05:30:00.000+08:00

One can see so many inspiring artist within the site of the ruins.

This is an art on its own, the reddish sandstone plus the green moss had turned this facade into an art.

Just look at those paintings, yeap, paintings, hand painted on site, those are no photos, no, not that guy on the left, those thing on the canvas on the front right that is.

Look at this sketch, or doodle, or call it whatever you want.

Another close-up, by a different artist, inspect those details.

Another artist seeking for inspiration?

But, what I found more interesting is the photo below, perhaps an engraving done hundred of years ago, by some inspiring artistic lovebirds.

Maybe someone could decipher this coded encryption.

SIEM REAP | Banteay Srei

2010-01-09T05:00:00.000+08:00

Banteay Srei is about an hour journey by tuk-tuk from Siem Reap, passing thru the local villages, experiencing the lush greens of the countryside.

Banteay Srei means, citadel of the women, or citadel of beauty.

The facade is bit reddish due to the material used for the structure, i.e. red sandstone.

Banteay Srei is famous for it's meticulously detalied workmanship, just as shown in the photo, just to show a sample.

A close-up of one of the remnants.

SIEM REAP | Along the way ..

2010-01-04T05:00:00.001+08:00

The first Monday in the first week of 2010, schools re-opened, new and not so new students will be going to school and colleges.

Roads will obviously be busier than usual.

But when I was in Siem Reap, Cambodia, I don't think there is such a heavy traffic jam. As most of the road users are either on two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicles, hence they can just manoeuvre easily on the road.

Just look at the gas station above, it's almost deserted, but I like this "aura" looks like those in the film. This photo was taken whilst on a moving tuk-tuk (3-wheeled vehicle) along the bumpy and dusty road here.

Some might prefer riding those cosy air-conditioned tour buses. But at this time around I prefer the local tuk-tuk, feeling the cool air brushes your faces, smelling the fresh aroma of the countrysides's air, and hearing those bells and whistles of Cambodia.

After about an hour or so on the bumpy road, you then reached the destination with a gleeming smiles from the local traders.

One of the hand painted signage, I think it says something about WC or thereabout.

BRISBANE | The City Centre

2010-01-01T23:15:00.003+08:00

To start off the new year, here are some photos of Brisbane's City Centre.

A pedestrian passing by one of the well-known kiosk in the city centre, also known as the meeting point area.

One can get lotsa stuff here, from newspaper to magazine, mobile top-ups to travel card top-ups and also lottery tickets etc.

A modern looking building with a clear blue sky in the background.

Get your healthy dose of snack here, get some juice or you can even just get the fresh fruits.

Hungry Jack's can be found located at one of the premises in the city centre, and you do not want to disturb Jack if he's hungry, not to mention Jack's uncle, nor Jack's grandpa nor Jack's house mate nor Jack's cousin's schoolmate's next door neighbour's nephew!

Now, something that colours up the city centre with a fancy balloon sculpturist. They can bend and squeeze the balloons into beautiful art, but not for those with fainted heart, who cannot stand to hear the popping of the balloons.

BRUNEI | Golden Domes Aplenty

2009-12-31T09:25:00.000+08:00

Just a random photo for the last day of 2009.

Gold on Blue.

One of the many golden domes of the Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam.

NOTE: This website is undergoing a major facelift. Will try to make it as simple as possible, and photos will be larger. Due to technical difficulties, some usual links would be missing, would try to update as much as possible.

GF COMIC | Am I an Aunt or Uncle?

If you are an uncle, you will still be an uncle to your niece or nephew.

SINGAPORE | within Bugis Street

2009-12-01T06:00:00.000+08:00

Walking along the vicinity of Bugis Street.

For those who love accessories, than this is a great place to be.

And if you walk outside of the market area, you will come across this building full of "jewels" on the facade.

And on the wall of the market, one can find this, graffiti on the wall.

And next to it, is this old fashion blinds.

But what I found nice is this colourful spiral stairs.

SINGAPORE | Bugis Street

2009-11-29T06:00:00.000+08:00

Walking around in Bugis Street.

It is not like walking along Orchard Road, or those air-conditioned mall like Vivocity, but this is a street market, thou covered, but non-airconditioned.

A busy place it was, even if you stop to look at stuff, you can not avoid to be brushed aside from the fast flowing pedestrians.

Not only they sell clothes, but they also sell fruit, Durians even!

Persimmon is also in abundance. Good fruit, sweet and juicy.

More durians, quite cheap, only $2 each!

$2 crackers (keropok) vs $2 durians, it's your call!

SINGAPORE | The Mosque in Chinatown

2009-11-25T06:00:00.000+08:00

Another interesting landmark in Chinatown.

Masjid Jamae (Chulia) is the name of the mosque.

For a more detailed history of the mosque, feel free to read it on the plaque.

A glimpse of what is inside the mosque, cool, got vending machine some more what.

An overview of the mosque, squeezed among the shophouses.

SINGAPORE | Multi-Culture in Chinatown

2009-11-23T06:00:00.001+08:00

What I found quite interesting in Chinatown, was the multi cultural diversity there within, multi belief and faith.

There I saw one Temple and also a Mosque.

Pagoda Street is one of the alley in Chinatown.

The temple was still under renovation, so just manage to get a peek of what is inside.

There was a wedding ceremony held at that time, and these young women have prepared themselves with their colourful traditional dresses or also known as sarees.

Decorative flowers used as part of their belief.

Not only there were multi culture, but the product sold in Chinatown are also diversified.

SINGAPORE | Chinatown Heritage Centre

2009-11-19T06:00:00.000+08:00

Still walking along the area.

This way to the Heritage Centre.

But first, have to pass thru this passage.

Some old ship's instrumentation for sale.

And some seller trying to market their products.

And here you are, the Chinatown Heritage Centre.

SINGAPORE | Chinatown Walkabout

2009-11-18T06:00:00.001+08:00

During a recent trip to Singapore earlier this month, manage to mingle amongst the crowd.

The place was flooded with people, walking around, doing their own stuff, or even just sitting along, feasting their eyes with people watching.

Chinatown could be found in almost every major cities around the globe, usually marked with it's traditional huge red gate.

In Singapore, the Chinatown, can't be missed by it's many bright red lanterns.

One of the many entrances to the main street.

A typical scene in Chinatowns.

Taking his own sweet time.

A mobile vendor moving his cart to a different place.

Another view of the packed street.
