Minaret

bekabun

Sunday, we went on our usual drive to nowhere. Ended up along some out of the way place, not even sure where we were. Took lots of photos as usual.



Along the way, saw this little kabun, or farm. Not the right season i guess so everything was overgrown and not much growing. Still, twas interesting. The pics sort of give you a good idea of what a little (really little) kabun looks like out in the middle of nowhere..

dangerous fun

Violet took this pic when we were on the road on thursday.



We wondered if the parents knew their kid was having so much fun..? The driver doesnt seem to mind. The giant road safety campaign poster in the background makes this so ironic.

dawn

I'm took a 6am drive the other day when everythings quiet.

The morning sky was cloudy and kinda gloomy. But it felt good and fresh.

Saw the Jame Asr and took a quick shot. I'm new in this so i havent had my fill of the Jame' yet.

Took some other shots along the way.



Gave me a chance to play with silhouettes and shadows.

Brunei is kinda interesting with all kinds of funny structures all over the place. This one is one of those 'christmas' decorations we have in kiarong and the other is an old disused satellite dish in Berakas.

......

Saw a flock of pigeons sitting on some power lines. Don't pigeons sleep? Its early dawn and they are already flying about.

My KG Ayer pt.2

Another of Violets Kg Ayer series. These she took on her last trip to Kg Ayer.



........ .



Does anybody really know how to manoeuvre these stairs? It just looks so .... dangerous. Imagine little kids doing it. What about us landlubbers? Lol.

Raining

Its been raining heavily the past few days. Guess its the rainy season, or maybe another abnormal weather behaviour because of el-nino or whatever. I took this photo while on the HBHighway. Traffic jam because of flooding on the highway.

Violet

I took these photos of violet during our recent excursion to Tungku Beach.



I couldnt resist. She looks so like a pro. Violet is so passionate about her photography, i think it shows in her poses. Right?





Any pro photogs out there care to comment on her style..?

Basketball

I saw a couple of little fellows at a basketball court the other day. They had a basketball between them. But the court was used by some bigger boys. So they were standing around, waiting for their turn.



They had a lot of enthusiasm. The basket was high, but their love for the game can be seen in their faces.

Across the border

Sometime ago we went to Miri. Just driving around..and we discovered this place.

Can you believe this is in Miri?! Its a nice recreation park. They have this water park, and just nearby is a big jungle-jim type park, a skateboarding park is just a bit further, and snaking all around is this long suspension bridge.

Why cant we have this in Brunei? At least its nearby, so we can bring our kids there weekends.

mangga muda for B$2.00 @Serasa

We went to Serasa Sunday. Went to the usual Soto stall there. Then we saw next to the stall these two women selling mangga muda. Can't help it lah. Violet took the pics.

Kampong Ayer Ku

These are Violet's Pictures. Took them on a recent visit to Kg Ayer. I like the pics. Make Kg Ayer so beautiful and romantic.



Kg Ayer is a beautiful setting really. Always comes out good in pictures.





She went out in the late afternoons, when the sunlight is low. Not ideal for photography, but on that day, the strong sun rays make for dramatic photos.



Remember the Jong Batu? I like this pic.
The rest of the pics are Violet playing with PS effects.




And children! What is Kg Ayer without children.
WIll make a trip to Kg Ayer again soon.

Beautiful tungku beach..again

We went to Tungku Beach again. Sun was shining brightly. Unfortunately it was late afternoon when we got there. Stayed on til sundown.

I like the colour of the trees when the sun shines on them. Nice.

Again some scenes. The DST tower is visible from where i was.

We went to a part of the Tungku that is only accessible by 4WD, using the beach as a road. The original road is ruined by the construction work being carried out there. Hopefully something good will come out of that.

You cant help but be impressed by the rock structures put up there, to protect the beach.

And of course fishermen.

Tungku Beach has become a regular haunt for us. Its nice.

.

LuNcH with Blue.

On Saturday Violet cooked lunch. Sardines man! I tell you she makes the best Sardines. Well, anu dalam tin plang tu tapi dicampur dengan..? And sambal belacan! MMmmphh. Tiada tandingannya. No joke!! And she took pics! She goes everywhere with her camera now. AND she takes photos of everything.



Her cooking utensils. Sitting in the kitchen sink.

Instead of washing them, she took photos of them.

Fishing at Tungku Beach

Tungku Beach. Its nice there if you want to rest and enjoy the sea breeze. I sometimes go there with some friends for some fishing.



These pics i took a few weeks back. Fishermen , all of them.. The lengths they go to just to have a relaxing time.





I met these three old folks, enjoying their fishing. Mengikis. It was late evening. Caught lots of little fishies.





They kept going into the sea. Kept on fishing til about eight. Must have been tiring. Those nets are heavy, especially if they are full.

Anyway, hopefully, will be going with V early tomorrow morning. Right V?

Sexyback..

Hey V, look...sexyback.

or rather, sexybutt.
