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.

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?

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 [...]

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.

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

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.
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 [...]

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 [...]

Beep, Beep! The Road Runner
White breasted water hen is its proper name, but I nickname it the road runner for no apparent reason other than it looks slightly just like one.

Rule, Britannia!
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.

Austin Powers Singing the Blues
Registered in the island of Labuan in 1960. Not quite contented with the quiet island life after six happy years running around in a tiny little spot. It was time to hit the road and see the big wild world. And it was “KK here I come!”
