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 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.

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

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.

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 [...]

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.

The Divine Wind
To say I was shell-shocked is to put it lightly. But stunned I truly was by the sight of the Kamikaze’s suicidal mission.
But it was fun and hilarious to watch the Kamikaze diving into the sea to catch its prey.
