Sabah is a great place to be. Too bad I was there only for a few days and I didnt get to go to the islands. Anyway, I managed to find my way to Tambunan thanks to a colleague, Clarice and family who have been so hospitable during my brief stay there.

I got drenched, by just taking this, the force of the water falling is strong, with a thunderous roar and cause strong misty wind to wet me and my camera.

I like the hair colour! I looks like mahogany and contrast with the whole pic.

A favorite shot of mine though slightly overexposed. Anyway, I like the way the sun lights the dress, not in a harsh way.

The model is quite experience too and the weather was just nice.

Group threatens to launch a ‘sweep’ of Malaysians

Sad to see our neighbour behaving like this. Anyway, I was in Bali last year when the Manohara case was still hot. When Balinese found out that we are Malaysian, they start to bombard us with so many question, wherelse, I've to admit, i was clueless of what happen. It wasn't a big thing in our so called "free" press.

Bali was fine, I'm not sure of other parts of Indonesia but i think those of us who travel there have pleasent experience as in general, they are friendly, expecially in tourist hot spots.

Anyway, this Bendera group is another set of Indonesians who thinks that by throwing faeces at our Embassy, I really sorry for you. It's just that, we Malaysians are not intimidated by you. We may even look down on you for behaving like a moron. Worse still, most Malaysians won't even know you exist.

Anyway, i think it's irritating how Indonesians react and feel threaten of Malaysia. Remember the Pendet dance issue? Then the abused maid case? Ganyang Malaysia?

Anyway, it's not 100% the fault of the Indonesian publics. I guess, it has to be their moronic media, they probably have a column dedicated to bashing Malaysia.

PM: RM500 Hari Raya gift for all civil servants, pensioners

Finally, something to look forward to this raya.


KUALA LUMPUR: All civil servants and government pensioners will get an Aidilfitri special payment of RM500 each before Hari Raya which is likely to fall on Sept 10.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said in a statement the payment was for the more than 1.24 million civil servants in Grades 1 to 54 and 590,000 government pensioners.
"The decision (to make the payment) was made after taking into account the welfare of civil servants and government pensioners, especially with a view to easing the cost of making preparations to celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri," said Najib, who is also the finance minister.
The payment would incur a total cost of RM934.6mil, that is, RM639.6mil for the payment to the civil servants and RM295mil for the pensioners, he said. - Bernama

Portugal vs Cote D'ivore Goalless Draw 0-0

What can I say, a disappointment. I was rooting for Portugal, they 're a great team, but credit must be given to Ivory Coast. Both teams were really in defensive mode. The game was quite uninspiring until towards the 93th minute, when things start to heat up and there's a moment that i actually believe that Portugal might concede a goal.

Btw, where's the ketchup huh, C. Ronaldo?? U get just 1 yellow card instead.

A funny guy. A man of God. Wonderful speaker and and awesome keyboardist. I knew him back in Penang, during a rally.

Japan 1, Cameroon 0

What a surprise, Cameron might lose for the first time, in their opening match, every time when they qualify for World Cup. And Japan, if winning, will be Japan's first win of a World Cup match outside Japan. Its's the 79th minute now, and there's a free kick going on.. and.. true enough, nothing. Keisuke Honda, the sole scorer, he somehow look like a driver at my office. *Damn..Hasebe had just missed, hit the post instead*

For some unknown reasons, the World Cup "fever" that I contracted this year, is not as bad as when I had Germanitis, 4 years ago. Is it work? Today, I manage to sit a watch my second game after RSA vs Mexico. Too bad I missed the Ger vs Aus game yesterday. 4 goals man!. *Shoot on goal from Honda again!*

Back to the game. looks there's 4 minutes of stoppage time.

This is among my first KLCC shot, right after I got my camera. It was drizziling and was in a hurry to get cover from the rain at Dome. Love the starry night effect tho. Anyway, i think that shot need improvement. A friend of mine told me that I shud keep things simple.

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

It's my first post

It's Palm Sunday (oh, well, technically it's Monday, since it's already 1.46AM). And I'm still awake, doing work. Sometimes I wonder what really motivates me to work, as I do feel that work can be so bloody life-draining at some ways. Anyway, at the end of the day, it's the paycheck that counts.

I don't think I would believe when I would be now, 5 years ago. Back then, a fresh graduate, I can't wait to start working, to earn and to OWN stuff. REAL stuff, like a CAR, HOUSE and an INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO. Well, I have a CAR now. I would really like to see myself as someone in a senior post after 5 years working, though it's not happening yet.

I have a dream,

1) To own a jamming studio

2)To own a laundrette

I calculated that I would need at least RM10K to start for each dream, but, as I did my costing, the figures don't add up as I'll be broke then, just paying rent for those premises. Plus, credit card is killing me. Man, credit card's my life's vampire.

2 more years before I turn 30, I sure hope I achieve something.

Btw, I managed to get back to Putrajaya via Old Klang Road, tol-free. That's my second tol-free route after Mines.

It seems that there will be a hair show event in Midvalley on the 8th of April. Really do wish I've bought my DSLR already. Ok, signing off.
