This won me first prize for the local youth competition! And I'll be going to Singapore to the Asean + 3 Youth Festival representing Brunei with this photo! Awesome! Theme of the shoot for that day was Global Warming.
Caption: A monitor lizard inspects an intruder to his habitat.Description: The use of water bottles has exploded in recent years due to the convenience of having bottled water at the ready for daily use. Numerous companies in Brunei have wholeheartedly embraced this growth market and introduce their own brands of bottled water. The bottles are actually recyclable, but either due to public indifference, or ignorance, the water bottles are unceremoniously discarded. If it doesn?t pose a direct threat to wildlife, an indirect effect of that would be global warming due to the increasing use of hydrocarbons to produce the PET bottles; it has been noted that recycling plastic material amounts to a saving of more than 50% than producing the bottles from their source materials.

She's rather cute.
Battling it out on Guitar Hero III.

The had a huge screen projected with the images of the PES2008 multi-tap match, which was a huge crowd puller.
It was as if they were cheering for a real football game. The match ended with an upset of last year's winners, 5-0.
The unassuming winner of the Guitar Hero III tournament.
Many more pictures here.

Out in the distance I saw this old lady walking carefully, bare feet, on the slippery pathways of Kg. Ayer, walking along oblivious to my presence with her face hidden in her relatively huge umbrella. This small, old lady was heading to a Surau or Prayer Hall which I just passed a couple of metres behind me. We were about to reach an intersection at which point, 3 young lads were just coming home from a futsal game. She immediately stopped, which I thought was peculiar.
Turns out she was letting the three young lads pass beside her. I figured I didn't wanna keep her waiting there, so I immediately stepped aside to the intersection where the kids came from to let her through.
At that point, it was kind of humbling to see this little old, frail lady was performing her duty as a Muslim, and even made the effort to go for prayers at the Surau in the rain. I snapped a couple of pictures of that moment, to remind me of her.
Before setting off, I eyed her, just to make sure she reaches the sheltered pathway to the surau, so as to get her feet out of the slippery area.
Man she reminds me of my grandma way too much.

She was quite popular with the kids that day.
Face painting was also quite popular, with a constant stream of kids and adults coming in and out.
Human Foosball was also another attraction. This kid is way too cute to know what the hell's going on.
Cute kid.
Even though it's human foosball, the celebrations on a goal was almost like any other football game.
She was enthusiastic, and keep on going for the ball the whole game.
A little break in the action as the rain sets in.
Everyone was taking shelter.
Glad that I did. Found another model.
Well, it's not hard to get anyone to pose really.
But I rather like candids like this.
Well, unless they have a cute smile.
'They see me rollin', my stroller... Tryna catch me riding dirty...'
'Nobody knows it, but you've got a secret smile, and you use it, only for me...'
A whole lot of models waitin' in line. A great turn out by the bikers, taking the kids on a ride around Bandar.
The only time I wished I was still 10.
It's hard to be inconspicuous with a huge lens.
Riding off.
I thought this would be the last picture of the day. I went off for lunch shortly after this, but when I saw the Stormtroopers roaming around the place, I went back to my parking space, and paid for another hour of parking just to catch em.
It turns out, that this was in fact, the guy who went to the 501st Legion march during Macy's parade last year in New York. I was utterly and totally, geeked out at that moment.
The bikers having a go at the obstacle course.
They were really gunnin' for it.
And everyone was laughing all the way to the end, with their friends cheering them on.
There weren't any paddings at the other end of this drop.
Posing with the 'troopers.
As requested.
Met King there as well, his bike was among those lined up.
As the bikers were yelling out, "A White Tiger is coming through!"

While talking about camera stuff on our Jing Chew session, a family consisting of an elderly couple and someone that looks like their granddaughter took a table next to ours. The man had an elaborate tattoo which I couldn't keep my eyes away of, and I was surprised that he made small talk to me, which I happily obliged to.
The woman told a story how the tattoo got there, which just piqued my interest some more. It's rare to see an elderly man to have a nice tattoo such as that, it's even rarer to see it on a Bruneian, which made me get up the courage to ask for a photo as I found the story quite remarkable. He agreed, but without a shot of his face.

A nice and bright sunrise greets the walkers for the morning event, even though there were clouds looming, everyone managed to avoid the midday downpour which ensued a few hours later.
An occasion worthy to drag your friends out of bed of, almost everyone that day didn't walk alone, that in itself is pretty symbolic if you think about it.
There was some fair time to wait for others to arrive, so why not look around and see who you recognize.
English Premiership clubs has a managerie of teams that sports the colour red as their kits, so no wonder a lot of team club shirts were worn that day.
Some forego reasonable logic, and go all out to show their support, wearing an oversized Red Ribbon for the walk. Others opted for a smaller one handed out by the organizers.
Fitness Zone instructors out to show their support for the event as well, warming up those bodies from the inherent cool air surrounding the field.
Even a auntie warmed up quickly, replete in her Red tudong.
As well as government officials showing their support for the event.
Almost time to release the walkers.
Another one sporting a jersey of their favourite team.
I love this shot for no apparent reason.
A local DJ Zura from Pelangi FM. Which shoots Nikon D70. Also known in the blogging scene as Violet of Violet and Blue.
I don't know her, but I'd like to get to know her.
As always, the ever knowing Rano from Ranoadidas was there.
Excerpt from Liyana's blog: "There are 18 people living with HIV/AIDS in Brunei, 30+ reported cases. What do you know about HIV/AIDS? What does your child, your teenager or your neighbour know about it? Everyone is at risk. Everyone."
This is Liyana by the way. "There is a large proportion of young people who are not concerned about being infected with HIV. A multifaceted approach to HIV/AIDS is prevention. Individuals, peers, families and schools should be more supportive in reducing the incidence of HIV/AIDS in Brunei's small population."
Taken from outside the bus, in.
EDIT: Ness from http://anneesa.wordpress.com with the Tudong, and DJ Honey aka StrictlyBeautiful, apparently in the middle of an engaging story.

Of course the head honcho, Anakbrunei.
Adorable.
A person who likes Aviators is cool by me.

The bubbly Liyana was a delight.
Sorry auntie, your picture is last.
To all the bloggers who have their pictures featured here, please do comment so I can put you up in this post.
You can read up more on the Brunei Darussalam's Aids Council on their website.
