road to countryside

On the eve of 2007, I tagged along two pairs of couples to a trip to Palm Beach at Sematan. Along the journey, we only get to discover how beautiful our homeland can be. It made me treasure nature even more. I love the greens we have.



The following photos are taken when my friend wanted to stop over to get some rambutan. These girls are of the local ethnics. I'm playing around with both color and B&W versions.



When it started, it was just this girl alone, with her baskets and leaf.



It was just leaf.. and the small baskets in front of her.. until..



.. another girl came up running towards her, and sat besides her.



She wants the attention too. Apparently, not camera-shy like Pink Cotton. Potential to lay their faces in front of camera in future. =)

After the rambutan, we went off to our destination - Palm Beach Resort, Sematan. (We were off towards a place where we didn't get any signal on our mobiles.)



Coming up next.

bloggers' meet @ Bing! (deja vu?)

A late, late entry.

Ann, Luxferi of Translucent, called on for yet another meet on 29 December 2006. We were to meet at Belle Italia at RH Plaza, BDC.


Merv, guest of honor for the night.

The usual suspects showed up - Robin, CCC, Frankie, Ann and husband, Ken, Ben, and Uncle Ho. There was an unexpected guest - Pink Cotton. We were quite a noisy bunch in the restaurant.

Ah Ben-g, smiling cheekily with the dimples.


Ann's prize asset, her victorious loot from ebay.


The ever cool Uncle Ho.


The arrival of Robin and his sidekick, CCC??


The ever sporting Uncle, and the ever-camera-shy Pink Cotton.

Anna extended the meet to Bing! Coffee, so that Mike could catch up with us. I brought Louis (whose pet Schumi is a chick-magnet) to the meet as well. Hmm. All was well, until my babe camera gets endless molest and groping from Ann =( She couldn't get enough from her.

Enough said, the rest.. the photos from the night.

Happy New Year!
A short update for the new year - 2007. I went to Palm Beach at Sematan during the eve of 2007, and stayed overnight. And, when I returned, I had downtown to my body system.

I'm down with fever since my return, and in no condition to do any updates here. Feeling dizzy and tired, and heaty. How nice if i can discharge my heat somewhere. On top of that, the broadband connection has been miserable since I returned. It actually worsened before I left off for the trip.

Thanks to Ann a.k.a. luxferi for recommending Heroes to me. I've finished 8 episodes since last night. =D

Happy New Year, have a blessed new year!

As soon as I'm back to myself, updates will follow suit, including the one on this:
