Stella is probably the one understanding me most. My feelings and thoughts behind every shot. Why I took the shot and most of the time why I didn't. Stella and I have quite an interesting journey ahead. Between us, the passion drives the desire and vice versa.

21st July 2013 Malaysia - A temple in Miri

21st July 2013

Stella has been whispering to me to keep on drifting. I told her that I have been drifting every now and then just maybe you weren't by my side to share the moment. This weekend I held her in my hands to ensure her the passion is mutual.

Below are a few photos I took of a temple in Miri. There was a photography competition but I just wanted to visit the place.

15th July 2013 Brunei - Sunset Photographers Outing to Kampung Ayer

15th July 2013

Another outing with fellow sunsetters, Masters, I call them. I've had visited Kampung Ayer before, but this time to a different area. I was presented that there are stories of the place to be told, from my view point at least. I drifted for a moment. Then I understood. This place shall require a few more visits. I have my stories to tell.

This outing is precious to me. I am always eager to take in advice and guidance from the Masters. I felt that I can see things slightly different now. A same place with a different photo, a different story. I am grateful. ^.^ Nothing much here but Stella and I are progressing. Thank you for lending us your time.


Left and Right. Look.

I drift around a lot.


Boomerang practice.


The eyes to look for something interesting to compliment something interesting.


Putting it to test.


There are quite a few of these haunted areas.


Another swing, shall we?


Exchanging stories.


The place is filled with amazing lines.


Someday I'll be a tiger. Till then.


Traditions are dying slowly. We are turning into machines.


Locked up from the inside? Or kept safe from the outside?

14th July 2013 Brunei - Sunset Photographers Outing to Kg Katok Nursery & Stadium Stall

14th July 2013

The air seems to be less thinner. Tension slowly seeps away. Among giants, I dwell.

Don't have a macro lens. But they say, making use of what you have at hand is the best decision. Nothing to complain. Below are a few shots I've taken of a green land. Nothing spectacular but nevertheless.


The old will eventually give way to the young. Nurture the future, for they will take on your legacy. If any.


Shy hearted


bweeesss..


Upon I


Nature is not the only miracle. We are too.


Five for three? or Three for Five? hohoho


Only the innocent dare look back


Break fast anyone?

10th July 2013 Brunei - Sunset Photographers Outing to Labi

10th July 2013

It is incredible. To be able to be surrounded by so many Masters. Tremendous pressure in the air suffocating feeble me. Took quite awhile to set in in the right gear. I am truly blessed. A decision well made. A time well spent. Excited about what the future holds.


Setting off for a new day

Not happy with this one. Something is not quite right.


Abandoned presumably


A master's guidance.


How many of us have one? How many has been broken? How many more left buried?


Telekinesis


A tree that shaded us. A tree to remember.


Rest point for hoppers

A short detour at the Black Lake. Another point of view.


One against all


One


Girl in traditional dress


A path to the unknown future. Sacrifices have to be made in order to gain something. One cannot have it all. Old traditions are giving way to new ones though most may not necessary agree. Appreciation comes at a price. Almost always.


I wonder how the past used to be..


Distant gaze


Awaiting - the joyous moment of the day


Her back


Happy children


Another visit is definitely required for this lovely forest path. Too much in too little time.

7th July 2013 Brunei - At the Office

7th July 2013

I was bored at the office.

While drifting, I saw this interesting portal. I was walking towards it..

then a thud carried me back..

15th - 16th June 2013 Brunei - Kampong Ayer

15th - 16th June 2013

A friend notified me that a photography competition was on-going and the location is at Kampong Ayer, one of the most popular tourist spot. Visited the water village with a good friend for 2 days. 2 of 4 submissions were showcased but none made it to the prize section. Pretty difficult for me as I have yet to possess the eyes. Below are some of the photos I've chosen among others.

'Passion and patience', Stella whispered.



A barefoot stroll


Someday you'll grow up. Whether you'll be here or somewhere else, remember where you came from.

And keep in mind where you want to go.


At a Y


Trying to fly and Flying to try


Travelling souls of the night


Lighting up your new day


A leap of faith


Lead me


Reflection
