went to KK just last week. as mentioned earlier, it was my first time going there. such a long way down the road. tiring, sangal since you can't move much inside the car and i was pissed off early morning due to some problems at the Limbang Kastam which wasted so much of our time.





anyway, KK was awesome. i wished i was there a little more longer but work commitments caused me not. we stayed at Novotel. definitely a 5 star hotel. worth the price. the people were nice and very much friendly. i even had a long chit-chat session with 1 Borneo Starbucks people til late night. oh, very camera shy by the way. sorry i delayed your final curtain. hehe. the water landscapes impressed me the most. bluest of clean water which was nice to the eyes. it is a definite that im going there again. this time hopefully is by flight or if it will be decided by road then maybe using a much bigger car. visit to Mount Kinabalu and the famous island... what's the name.. would be nice. well, all in all, you can say it was perfect birthday present for me since we went there a day after my birthday.

and speaking of my birthday.



thanks very much to those who greeted. siapa yang nda ingat atu, it's okay. siapa yang NDA MAU ingat, ani yang payah ni. haha. anyway once again thanks for the greets and gifts in any form. thanks to the girlfriend's mom for the cake. it has got the Liverpool FC emblem at the middle and the turtle cheatedly ate my cake earlier than me as you can see in the picture above.

went to watch a friendly footie between PhotoG and RBAF (not the armed forces)at Yayasan School football field.




some of OTPS mates were invited by Papady Papz to play so i say why not take the chance to grab some shots. looking at the lenses and camera's some of them were holding, i feel like a piece of sand. very sacrificial for me to get like one of those. maybe one day. so anyway, it was one hell of a challenging task to take photo's of a fotball match. my focal length was not sufficient enough and my fingers needed to be much faster on the focused object. it was fun. surely another one would be nice. it was a surprise to see Aji Ajim playing for the PhotoG's. they finally get to control the game after Apis's shot founf the net for the equaliser after a first half own goal. the match ended in a victory for PhotoG's over RBAF with two goals to one.

i wonder how the MD Trophy bowling tournament went...

and so Liverpool did it again! after the agonizing defeat at the hands of Chelsea during Champions League First Leg Quarter Finals, Liverpool responded with a 4-nil win over Blackburn FC. Fernando Torres with a brace (first goal; awesome volley!), Ngog and Agger (what a strike!) with one each. Champions League is a definite doubt but as for Premier League, maybe it seems hard with advantages all on Man Utd but nothing is impossible and title race is still on! btw Erman watched the match at Anfield. ahhh, siok eh. not only because it's Liverpool. not on because it was Anfield. goal nya wah lawa2. aku mau.



we (me, Daus,Apis) encountered a bad accident on our way back to KB yesterday. it was exactly Maghrib when we stopped by to have a look. the Subaru must have caught on fire before we arrived. wallahua'lam to what exactly happened and current condition of the people who was in the car. i just hope the driver and the passangers if there were any are safe.

a reminder to everyone: please ensure your car is in good condition before use. if it something seems to turn bad on the way, reduce your speed. if things get worse, stop by for a little while and have a check. drive safe.

oh wow! check this one out!

the all new Canon EOS 500D or Digital Rebel T1i was announced on March 25th by Canon USA Inc. two highlights there; 15.1 MP sensor which is equivalent to EOS 40D and it has HD Video recording capability which i think is a trend among the new generation of DSLRs since introduced by Nikon D90. should hit the stores around May this year according to bobatkins.com

can't wait to watch Manchester United's match later on. Liverpool's match was such a relief! Benayoun was the hero with a last minute goal at stoppage time. Liverpool was in total control of the game but 80% of their chances just met the crossbar. luck factor i supposed. with the win, Merseyside Reds are now on top of the Premier League table but Manchester United still has 2 matches to settle to level the number of games. dear Aston Villa, i know the Reds trashed you a couple of weeks ago but please do us a favour. beat the crap out of Manchester United tonight. haha =x
