Only one way to describe the experience - AWESOME! A model of the F1.08 car for the season. Suba, Julia and Rita from PETRONAS. These kids are from Pahang schools. The two girls in the centre are from Kuantan. Porche race prior to the F1 race. Vintage cars making a lap tour with the drivers, before the actual race. Rita with cupcakes commemorating the 10th anniversary of Malaysian GP. Apai having his lunch. Wak Lan with his 60's pose. errr... fren having lunch. forgot his name. sorry aaaa fren. Ziman distributing drinks to one of the grid girl. It was a very hot day. Omar, composing his photo. Tan Sri Hassan, PETRONAS President/CEO with Peter Sauber, BMW Sauber Technical Consultant. That's me. In the background are the teams making preparation with the tyres to be fitted on the cars. BMW Sauber F1 car. The winners. 1st place to Ferrari, 2nd BMW Sauber, and 3rd McLaren Mercedes. Could not resist taking this shot. Kesian pakcik beca tu. The race was exhilarating. Hope I shall have the privilege to experience it again next year. http://rodong.fotopages.com/?entry=1485803 Tue, 25 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT Sports Day at Sekolah Kebangsaan Seksyen 2 Bandar Kinrara features both the school children and the parents. Here are some photos of the parent. The events were Tug-O-War and 4x50 meters relay. Hehehe.... Flower Power! Mothers (featured) against Teachers in Tug-O-War. Psyched-up. Qistina and Dayana's mother - Lin. Heave! Ho! Heave! Qistina cheering on... The parents won for both male and female events. Terrer!!! http://rodong.fotopages.com/?entry=1473992 Sun, 17 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT I could go on and on and on as I have plenty more photos taken. But then, I think the combination of Boogey, Red and my fotopages have covered plenty. So in this final serie, I am showing the other side of Thaipusam - the tourists and photographers. 1. Veteran couple 2. More tourists I overheard a lady made a remark to her friend, "This year there are more journalists than there are kavadi bearers". 3. Guess who I think she was referring to the photographers, there were a great number of photographers. The tourist photographers were easy to identify. They would be the foreigners with point-and-shoots. 4. The P&S Then there were the local photographers, toting DSLRs, big camera bags, tripods and photographer vest. 5. Hot lens No wonder this group of people were mistaken as journalists, yours truly included. And then there was this lady who I couldn't really figure out. You be the judge yourself. 6. Ummmm.... Of the many photographers, there were many styles present. It was almost like watching kungfu flicks. Please vote on your favorite stance. Enjoy..!!! :-D 7. Shooting Nikon FM-2 stance 8. Monkey stance 9. Clawing Tiger stance 10. Guppy Look stance 11. Leaning Dragon stance Yes, there were many tourists at Batu Caves. Many even climbed the steps into the main cave. There were moments where I thought I was in Europe. Hahaha... 12. MORE tourists http://rodong.fotopages.com/?entry=1432851 Wed, 06 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT The Piercing. This serie is on the act and process of body piercing. Not for the tame hearted. The devotee made a short prayer and then went into trance. He then stuck his tongue out and the priest placed the needle on the tongue. The priest applied pressure and pushed the needle through. Do view all the seven photos in this serie and leave your comment. http://rodong.fotopages.com/?entry=1418681 Thu, 24 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT I joined throes of photographers to capture moments of Hindu devotees making their Thaipusam offerings at Batu Caves, Gombak. It was the first for me and it was exhilarating. Join me as I periodically add new photos to this entry. I shall be uploading six photos at a time. Shooting in low light, ISO 1600, slow shutter and built in flash was very challenging. 2. Girl with her Pall Kudam 11. Kavadi bearer in a trance 14. Lady in a trance 22. Giving blessings 29. A family affair 33. Girl cleansing self 34. Girl's happy day http://rodong.fotopages.com/?entry=1417231 Wed, 23 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT We went to Singapore Zoo last December. Only found time to edit and post today. Enjoy the pics... mostly of the family. Animal pics mostly bit blurry.. and humans are a lot more fun to shoot at. Literally speaking. :-D http://rodong.fotopages.com/?entry=1410605 Wed, 16 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT Selamat Pengantin Baru kepada Erin dan Ila. Mak Andam enter frame... mujur ada mak andam ni.

Selamat Pengantin Baru, semoga berbahagia ke anak cucu. http://rodong.fotopages.com/?entry=1400201 Mon, 07 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT The monsoon of 2007 brought heavy rainfall to Malaysia causing major flood in three states - Pahang, Kelantan and Johor. Some other parts of the country were also underwater but none were devastated as bad as these three. Worse hit was Pahang. I was in Temerloh during the height of the flood to assist the local authorities in coordination and relief activities. The journey started from Petaling Jaya with five vehicles and an airboat. We took the East Coast Highway which was only open to 4x4 and heavy vehicles only. KM 113 of the highway was submerged 1/2 meter under water. We took the Temerloh exit and passed through a few kampungs. Here is a hut by a football pitch. It was approximately 3 meters under water. This was the Flood Operations Room at the District Office of Temerloh. These four were amateur radio volunteers manning the communication at the ops room, linked with the Ops Room at the Temerloh Police District HQ, MARES Command Center in KL and other units operating in the district. Partial list of the relocation centres, affected villages and victims, and other information. A house in Temerloh with the first floor submerged. Household and furniture to higher ground. A gas station partially submerged. "Warp six. Engage!" The airboat was from Hoveresque, in partnership with MARES. A football stadium turned water polo pool. Mobilizing jet-skis. Jet-skis were used for reconnaissance of affected areas. Fitting up the jet-ski driver with communication equipment. Based on the reconnaissance report, a larger craft with food supplies was deployed. A two-person rescue jet-ski - more powerful than the recreational type. The jet-skis were from Xplore Force, in partnership with MARES. Unloading food supplies at Kg Sanggang. This stretch was about 4 feet under water. A girl helping her family salvaging flood damaged household items and furniture. A young entrepreneur's catch. These leeches can fetch a price of RM50 per kilogram. http://rodong.fotopages.com/?entry=1398532 Sat, 05 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT
