The Emang's Family Session - Taman Sahabat, Kuching

During our stay in Kuching, I had the opportunity to meet up with a 'long time no see' cousin of mine, Bulan and her hubby Alfred Emang with their baby girl, Zaeborahh Esther PinQ(long name for a kid aei!). Sometime around 5.30pm at Taman Sahabat, BDC Kuching, we were just strolling along the lake when these shots suddenly popped into my camera. Funny how Nikon can work wonders sometimes!...well, all the time actually! :P

Davin, picking up on photography too, was my 'lightboy' for the evening while Jenn was the clown trying to get Pinq's attention for certain shots. Thanks guys! I 'belanja' kolok mee next trip kay but Davin, you have to come back from Canada again..

Emang & Bulan, t'was great catching up with you guys again though it was just for few hours. Hope you guys love these pics from your set here.. Hugs to baby Pinq from Jenn & I kay!





















Doing solo with baby Pinq.. T'was really though chasing after tis kid around!

As usual.. I'll take a group shot with the whole gang to end.

Uniquely Singapore..again..

Hi all.. after KL, we were in Singapore..again. This time, Jenn & I were with uncle & aunt from Atlanta. Knowing they were in KL too, we took a trip down for a night in Singapore. Nothing much planned though.. just free and easy. Going to places to eat & take random photos of people in the streets. Not many photographs this trip though coz I was recuperating. Jenn & I left for JB the day after while Papa & Mama B flew back to KL.

On the way to the hotel, I caught a glimpse of the 'Singapore Flyer' (shot from inside the limo)


Walking around the city, I had to take some movement shots


Trishaw anyone?


Further towards one of the eating place, we passed by this row of colorful stairs


Drummer boy.. rum pa pum pum!


These are more scenes captured in the streets










In the evening we 'stroll' around the Fullerton Hotel towards Merlion




Since I did not carry a tripod with me, I had to settle with these shots of the Merlion




Finally a group shot of us and Jenn's ex-colleagues


Alright guys.. I'll leave you with more shots of Singapore from my September 2007 Flickr Gallery. For those of you who've missed the post, just click HERE.

Hope you enjoyed the portraits of the folks in Bario guys. These are just very few of em'. I may not know everyone's name here so if any of you Kelabits out there happen to know them, do contribute in the comment box below kay. I can only capture 1 thousands shots in Bario during our 2 nights stay so if anyone of you are there, do take more pictures & share em with me too kay! As I will be away for assignments & holiday till the new year, I may not load shots for the time being. Have a good holiday you all and do enjoy the time spent with your families & friends.

Jenn & I had our first Christmas together this year and I've gotta say it was a good one. My sister, Angela, is also back from KL with 'someone special' to spend the holidays with us. I'll load some shots from Christmas as soon as I get connected yah! As for now, I've gotta go pack for our KK trip. Till then, have a jolly good holiday everyone!

Bario Highlands - Pa' Ukat

Pa', in the Kelabit language refers to water or in this context, river. So Pa' Ukat is the "Ukat River" (excuse my direct translation kay!). After church, we headed to Pa'Ukat to visit an aunt. Its roughly a 1 hour walk from the airport (if ur slow tat is). Here are some plants & scenes from this nearby village in Bario.
