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.

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.

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.
