Murut Bamboo Dance

Groove Into the Bamboo Night

Another version of the Murut Magunatip dance. This time with a hypercharged atmosphere.

Pulau Mamutik (Island)

Sea of Angels

Pulau Mamutik is the smallest island among the five  islands cluster grouped under Tunku Abdul Rahman Islands (Marine) Park. And it’s also the least crowded island in the group. But during public holidays and weekends you can forget about having the beach all to yourself.

Asian Rugby- the Comical Sides (II)

Game For A Laugh

Rugby, a game played by macho men with farcical comedy abound. Once a comedian, always a ruggger. What further proof  do we need just by looking at the picture below with the hopper hopping along merrilywith his band of merrymen? Need I say more?

Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On

Oui!  Aquarelle.

Let’s talk about camera, the D-SLR type. Now and then, it does give rise to an illusory image in a shot-visual. When it does, it drives me into a psychotic tailspin.

Wait a minute! I’ve got to get a hold of myself. Ahhh….. such is life’s big mystery.

The Comedy of  Errors

These are the lighter moments of the Asian Rugby Borneo Series over the weekend of 31 Oct / 01 Nov.

"I Love You, Mummy!"

Limestone Mountain

Rocky Mountain High

This mountain was sighted outside Lahad Datu on the way to Semporna. That would be the next destination in future. Could someone shed some light on it?

Bajau Horsemen of Kota Belud

Trooping the Colour, Borneo Style

Kota Belud, “waaaah!”, the land of horses & buffalos (it could easily be the land of milk & honey). So, here it begins the story of the “Five Horsemen On the Prairie“. First thing first, let’s meet our world-famous horseman of Kota Belud. I have seen pictures of this old gentleman countless times, each time he still conjures up the image of the  ”wow!” factor.  There it is, I am still insisting on putting up a picture of this gentleman with a photogenic “wow!” factor. He could have been our superstar!

Me & My Horse Named "Neigh!"

Asian Women Rugby

The Warrior Princesses

Move over, you men!

A sport with a difference. It was an action-packed rugby competition full of rough-and-tumble actions interweaved with high tensions and excitements to keep you spellbound to the end of time. This is my kind of action-filled sport with a tinge of sensual tenderness only the she-must-be-obeyed knows how to put on.

Lionesses Growling At Each Other!

Minimalist Semporna

Going Japanese

Semporna on the cheap. Then you get a bland, plain and simple scenery. It does pay to be rich, you know.

 

 

Minimal is Best

Asian Rugby iRB- Borneo Sevens

Celebrate Good Times, Come On!

Asian Rugby Borneo Sevens (30-Oct/01-Nov).

Indonesia Vs Japan - 30 Oct.

The outcome of this match was more or less predicted, barring any twist of fate at the last minute, of course. And it was. Japan won out in the end.

Let's Celebrate!

Horses of Kota Belud

Blazing Saddle

The horses in Kota Belud are often referred to as the pony horses for the reason of their being a crossbreed between the pony and horse. I would still  regard them as the pure-bred horses as they do not resemble the pony in any way . Their sizes may just about give the clue away as they are  considered to be of smaller size than the normal horses you would usually see in the West.

Hello There!

Asian Rugby- Borneo Eagles

The Ball Chaser

The Eagles have landed! Yes!!!!!!!!! The Borneo Eagles were in town to give the Snakeheads a good thrashing to hell and back, licking their wounds till they cried “mercy, mercy me! ” We really, really kicked asses this time around. We really showed the ones from across the South China Sea the Borneo Eagles were/are made of the sterner stuff.

Asian Rugby Sevens Series

The Swan Song Ballerina & Ballerino

Stretched over two days, 31 oct/1Nov, one of the main highlights of the Rugby match was the classical dance performance executed beautifully by the two players from Malaysia & Thailand. It was an illusion of flight that stretched beyond your vivid imagination, literally speaking. The  projectile of flight was simply sensational and altogether defied the laws of gravity in every which way but imaginable. Let me share with you the two and only rugger-ballerinas in the world.

A throwback to the times when Britannia did rule the waves. British North Borneo Chartered Company was the entity assigned to administer the territory of North Borneo in the days when colonialism was the buzzword and the byword.  And this is where the story of the artillery guns begins.
