My Ride

Vrooommm.......I wonder how my boy is doing back home. Have anyone seen him lately? I'm sure he's home enjoying the warm breeze. Hang in there!

Portraits

I was editing some pictures when I came out with these effects, which I thought is quite nice. By the way, the first guy is David, followed by Alvaro and then me. Haven't seen them in a while now. David back then was a bit chubby. So guys, have I gained weight by the look of that picture? I hope not. I haven't been weighing myself lately but I doubt I'm any lighter or heavier.

Yet another Valentine's Day is gone, but this year however, there's no candlelit dinner, no romantic music, no dancing.....so was it that sad for me?? Not at all! Instead, I got a chance to watch Aberdeen played against the Mighty Bayern Munich at Pittodrie in the UEFA cup challenge. Went with my mates and it was my first ever live international football experience and what an experience it was.

Twenty over thousand people went to see the game. Well, Bayern Munich were expected to win the match and they are the UEFA cup favourites, in fact. My mate Steve and many other Aberdonians told me that Aberdeen might be trashed at least 4-0. That is how strong the German side is.

I have taken some shots of the stadium and some parts of the match and attached them here. I seriously haven't been to a stadium with so many people around. Fantastic feeling and the singing, the excitement of all those around me, just add to create a wonderful atmosphere.

Aberdeen played really well that night. They were leading 1-0 and 2-1 at one point. I remembered when Aberdeen scored their first goal, everyone including myself were jumping up and down, hugging each other...it's unbelievable. The whole stadium just went crazy! No one was expecting Aberdeen to score first and it was a beautiful shot. Few minutes later, the German side scored to equalise. During the 2nd half, Aberdeen scored another one to go 2-1 up. At this point, I don't know how to describe it anymore. I remembered just jumping, shouting out loud...it couldn't have gone better...or should I say, Krazier. Too bad I didn't grab a shot of the people's expressions.

The game ended with a 2-2 draw. Bayern Munich had scored from the penalty spot to equalise. For me it was my first ever live football match experience and it was very worth it. Nobody had expected a result like that.

After that match, we went for Chinese food and I had fried kuey teow. Yummy...it's quite rare to get that sort of food here.

So I'd say it was a good Valentine's day for me this year. Don't you agree??

What's Going On?

With the recent news of the Hong Kong celebrity sex photo scandal, I'm really astonished to know how stupid people can be. If you have dirty personal pictures (yourself included) in your laptop and you're bloody rich, would you bring it to the shop to fix it? Common sense tells me that whoever is fixing it will go through the hard disk and see what's inside. If it's that important and had to be fixed, I'd spend the whole time with the person fixing it just to make sure.
Rule of thumb is that you don't save anything secretive like that in your laptop. Shoot them and view them in your phone or videocam and delete straight afterwards, stupid.

Well, just the other day I was talking to a friend and somehow the term 'Friends with benefit' was mentioned. I didn't understand it at first. Somehow my friend explained it to me. For those who do not understand that as well, you can find out more from Wikipedia.

Wikipedia started explanation like this:......
"Friends with benefit may refer to: Casual Relationship

Casual relationship is a term used to describe the physical and emotional relationship between two people who may have a sexual relationship or a near-sexual relationship without necessarily demanding or expecting a more formal relationship as a goal....."

Ok.. in my opinion this is kind of a dump thing to do. I despise the idea completely. Good thing it's not an open thing in Brunei, though a lot of people are doing it, especially youngsters nowadays.
While the consequences are not obvious now, in the future when you look back at your life, you'd think how stupid it was and not only that, it might even ruin your life.
Hmm....enough said...it may or may not sound very interesting to you but I just wanted to share my thoughts.

While everyone else in Brunei (rest of my family) is busy preparing for the Chinese New Year, I went out for some photo shoot in London. I don't know what else to do...hmm. Ok, so if you're celebrating this new year of the RAT, I'd like to wish you a prosperous & joyous new year. Enjoy!

Four Seasons Roasted Duck

This is definitely the best roasted duck I have ever tasted. Well so far, most of my friends have the same opinion as I. For those who decide to go to London and likes roasted duck rice, Bayswater Four Seasons Restaurant is definitely the place to dine in.

Frosty Night in Aberdeen

It's the first frosty day in Aberdeen since I got here. I was on my way back from meeting my friends for a few pints, that I decided to snap some shots down. Bought some fries too as I was feeling hungry (took that pic too).
