Restricted Area

Riak muka kawanku ketika tidak dibenarkan menggambar di helipad.

Hari Sabtu 19.7.2008. Keberangkatan KDYMM ke Daerah Belait. Seperti biasa aku dan seorang lagi kawan menjalankan tugas 'menggambar' di KBRC dan kawasan sekitarnya. Akan tetapi tahun ini kawasan helipad di hadkan kepada orang awam termasuk jurugambar walaupun majlis belum bermula. Ini berbeza dengan tahun-tahun yang sudah.

Ratu Cantik Indonesia

Sebenarnya entah dari mana datangnya Ratu cantik ini. Pokoknya kenapa bisdurang ani kena suruh bersalam d tengah padang. Sedangkan kanak-kanak (peserta) atu di tolak Ratu Cantik ani ke belakang. Apa kan tu? Kesian kali ah kanak-kanak. Cuba ada kanak-kanak menolak 'ibu-ibu' ani masa 19 hari atu baru ia tahu. Sibuk saja, cubatah di kem ani tangah-tengah padang.

All geared up

Yeah, all my gear are ready for the HM Visit to KB at KBRC on Saturday 19 July 2008. Except my Nikon which film bay is still empty (faham-faham lah). ha ha.

Nikon Lite Touch Zoom 70Ws

Front View
The lens with zoom, silver 'shoot' switch, zoom toggle, At the screen is the battery bar, 3 indicates empty and the mode indicator. Next to the screen is timer and mode button

I am using Nikon Lite Touch since 2002. At that time I didn't serious in photography activity. Quite handy, this camera had a night mode, landscape mode, potrait mode, flash forced off mode (just realised these mode on July 8). It is a film type camera which my friend H Alimin sneer at during every school trips during my SMSA years he he (quite miss that time). Anywhere, I will still used this camera until Brunei shops stop selling its films.

15 May a day where I would not forget

15 May, Thursday. A fateful Thursday where I will not forget. Not because I hvae found my dream girl but the day which changed my photography life forever.

The story was like this. At 8:28 am I was sitting next to my dad who was driving. As a vehicle photographer I snap every vehicles which caught my interest. Until at 8:30 I spotted my favourite police patrol car the Mitsubishi 380 highway patrol car. Ever since 2006 I have been trying to snap the photo of this patrol car but still not success. I ready my DMC FX-10 till the patrol car ready to entered its post at the highway.

8:33 am the car entered the junction heading to its post. I snap it, nice and perfect shot. When I switching off my camera I sa the police car headlights and blue roof lights were swithed on. I didn't scared but shocked as I know they might question this and that to me. I just act normal until the 380 overtake our car and we stopped. The driver and its partner come out.

The driver ask my dad whether I snap the 380 or not. From my dad he went to my side. Asking this and that. Shocking to know he said to snap the photo of patrol car is not an OFFENCE. But what I confused why he stop our car although he know it is not an offence. I don't mind he stop our car as this is their duty to stop vehicles. Before he enters his car he make sure me once again wheter i have bad intention or not when snapping. Anywhere, for more answer about this issue I will try contacting their PR.

Even in 2004 and 2006 I snapped the patrol car and a police special command unit vehicle the police even smile at me when I took photo of their vehicles.

P/S: To other photographer just snap police vehicles when you saw them at highway or whatsoever.

Mini fire department

Dennis DFD/SK Fire Water Tender Ladder no.24 miniature. Not sure whether it can be moved or not. Later I will try to play it.
The Fire Station (100% same) as BSP FB Jln Tengah FS

Here in KB we are proud because we own the smallest fire appliances and fire station ever in Brunei. Located at OGDC traffic games park you can spot this little fire station with a Dennis WRL in its garage. The irony is the Dennis WRL is build based on Government FRD appliances while the fire station is based on BSP FB Fire Station at Jln Tengah.

Anywhere, I would like to congratulate to the workmen (I dont know who) who had built the model of Dennis DFD/SK Fire WRL24. You made the good one as it seem 100% as the rel one at Beribi BFRD workshop. If I know who you are I will tender you to make fire appliances model for me.

P/S: OGDC-Please add more fire appliance to the station
