I See Green

Brunei's 24th National Day

Brunei's 24th National Day - Concentration

Brunei's 24th National Day - Next Performance


I thought arriving at 645am was early enough to get a decent parking space, boy was I wrong! I blocked the car in front of mine, behind, left and right! I didn't think it was going to be that packed at that hour.

I knew going to an event such as this, I would bump into a lot of photographers who are eager to snap each others' picture, uh huh H&B is right, quite a nightmare for us She-Shooters. I didn't really want to think about that but it was hard to ignore. I knew I came there with a mission: to take some decent photos, so that's what I did (hopefully these photos turn out ok!)

It was my first time being on the other side, I must say, it's more exciting than sitting at the grandstand. There's just so much more to see, you can feel the atmosphere I can't even begin to describe it!

Dodging photographers, having a good time, under the sun... If I had to do it again, I'd say why the hell not?

Sliding Home

In the game of softball, a home run is a hit in which the batter is able to run passing through all the bases arriving at the home plate while scoring a run himself/herself with no errors by the defensive team. A run is when a player safely reaches home after passing through first, second and third bases effectively by advancing to the next base as the pitcher is delivering the ball to the batter at the home plate or when a ball is hit by the batter. But of course the most exciting way to gain runs is through a home run with bases fully loaded i.e. when there are players on all the bases; first, second and third. The batter doesn't only gain a run for himself/herself but also runs for all the three players initially on all three bases.


I wonder how a batter can hit so hard and get the ball to fly so far. Mixture of skills and strength perhaps?

A great attempt at hitting a home run; sliding home.

As he called out!!!

I couldn't decide which of these pictures to post so I decided to post both. Wish I could overlap them, don't know how to do that yet. I could probably try Photoshop but laziness prevailed.

Smiling Piero

Hearts & Bones and I had to run an errand early in the morning. And when I say EARLY, I meant around 9am on a weekend. It was a very hot morning and since we were already out, decided to stop at Kg. Tamoi or something like that at Kampung Ayer (Brunei's Venice). Below is one of the last pictures I took whilst there, on our way to the car sweating profusely! It was VERY hot!!! Even so, I was happy to have stopped over cos we met a few very friendly people who were willing to have their pictures taken. I overheard the mother telling the boy that we were taking pictures of them and I guess the boy was very intrigued he kept looking back!
He just knew where to look.
Mommy... I Spotted The She-Shoots Girls!!!
P/S: Sorry a little tilted, H&B said I should've used the crosshair. Next time lagi.

Pick One

Equipment Needs Time Off Too
That could probably be one of the HOTTEST Days!!!

Time off, is what we don't get too often; be it from work or from our social activities. We always try to get away from our busy lives, going on holidays to get the stress off when in fact, it just adds pressure especially in the planning stages. But if you try, you don't need to look too far to get that sense of relaxation. Take up a hobby, do something fun, it'll take the load off. Photography. It's fun. It's one way to relax. It's my way :)

The Name of the Game

HE (couldn't) SHOOT(s)
Maybe waiting for a girl to ;)

The day I watched a game of football. I haven't played football in a while, probably cos 1) tidak digalakkan lagi and 2) I don't know any team that are still playing, maybe futsal yes but it's hard to get a place since point (1) above. Oh well, a girl can only dream and wait...
