Happy Chinese New Year - Gong Xi Fa Cai

I went down to BSB around 6 am to see the Chinese New Year celebration assuming that Bruneian, Anakbrunei and Ucingitam will be there too. I had to wait about two hours, went to check Jien Chiew but it was closed. I finally decided to stop by at Ignatius Stephen's cafe for breakfast. This was my first outing, a solo outing, after two weeks absence from the group and my first for Chinese New Year. When I arrived at the scene, I was not alone. They were scores of shutterbugs with big zoom lens, some I recognised, whom one of them was my wedding photographer three years ago. One shutterbug I spotted was holding a Hasselblad, a medium format camera. Now what happened when there were lots of us in one area? Everyone wants to take this angle, this shot and I tried my best to avoid that. Imagine this during a bigger event like the upcoming National Day. Anyway I will post up more pics in my slideshow in the next entry. Happy Chinese New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai !!

Sunset @ Serasa

Fast and Furious:Serasa Splash

There was no show on the bike stunt at usual place but instead we headed to Serasa Beach where they would hang out. There was no shortage of action, I was greeted by these daring devils on their jetskiers. You would not expect a wheelie or stoppie but I could not waste the opportunity to take some shots of them. I got to try out once more my challenge on panning but this time I got it right.

Deadlines

I will be busy for another week. I'd been busy since last week because of my sis in-law's wedding and now because of work. I'm meeting up a deadline by next week, a project to build an e-lesson to be submitted by 15th/16th March. This project will be presented in front of the audience comprised of school's principals all over Brunei. Now the question how can we do this within a short time frame. The subject for this project is Maths, the subject which I teach besides Computer Studies. At first we chose Geography, in the area of map reading but this will take a lot of planning and design. Least, the Math's topic we are working with I have been teaching for years. For this project, we will be relying on software such as Macromedia Flash and Dreamweaver, Adobe Photoshop and a 3d software. I'm not that good in Flash but I'm willing to learn if anyone wants to teach me.

Tang Soo Do Photoshoot

I went down to Mabohai Sports Complex to shoot a Tang Soo Do training session together with Bruneian, Ber and it was also first time meeting Souljah. Tang Soo Do, I understand is another form of Korean martial arts besides Tae Kwon Do. Being in the training session, reminds me of my Karate stint while I was in UK. The last belt I remember was yellow, I didn't pursue it further since it required a lot of commitments especially in training. Anyway, the photoshoot was a drag since it was at night, this means low light = blurry shots. I only had few good shots which is shown below. The others had brought their monopod, I guess they had more better shots. More details and pics about Tang Soo Do can be found here, here and here.
