This was taken during Earth Hour 2009, where Sheraton Utama Hotel did an event marking the occasion with a presentation and talk about the effects of Global Warming.

Will get back to the swing of things soon. Been too busy with a wedding event, and my short trip to KK. Will do a post requested by my mate from a mate of mine for a very interesting topic for you frequent travellers. Stay tuned.

This post is titled Wow... I won... by author SoulJah. KHAIRUL_NIZAM_entry_3 (by SoulJah)

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.


Top Shutterbugs Awarded In Photography Competition
By Adriana HAC

Bandar Seri Begawan - A prize presentation ceremony for winners of the recent photography competition which carried the theme 'Global Warming' was held yesterday at the Youth Centre in the capital.

The competition was organised by the Youth and Sports Department in cooperation with Brunei Darussalam Photographic Society.

Present as the guest of honour was Haji Mohd Zali bin Haji Arshad, the Assistant Head of Youth and Sports Officer.

The ceremony began with the recital of Surah alFatihah led by Ustaz Suprapto bin Komari followed by a brief speech from the Head Judge of the Brunei Darussalam Photographic Society, Haji Mohd Yusof bin bin Haji Mohd Yassin.

The top five winners were announced during the ceremony followed by the handing over of certificates of appreciation to all participants.

Mohd Khairul Nizam bin Haji Abd Rahman was adjudged as the winner while Mohammad Taufiq bin Yakub came second. In third place was Mohamad Mahadzir Iskandar bin Zakaria followed by Dyg Hazimah binti Abd Hamid and Haji Abdul Azim @ Haj Mu'az bin Haji Tujoh.

The winner will be representing Brunei Darussalam for the "ASEAN+3 Youth Festival Photography Competition" in Singapore from July 28 to Aug 3. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin

A flag bearer stands infront of a giant Brunei flag that will be carried into the Taman Haji Sir Muda Omar Ali Saifuddien at the start of the National Day celebration.

The reflection off of the flag sets the subject apart nicely out of the background.

A young lady waves a mini Brunei flag while taking part in the march past at the capital.

I thought last year's celebration was already huge in terms of the number of photogs descending upon the capital, but here we fielded our own platoon of shooters almost rivalling any other photography organization. Great show guys!

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.
0019_DSC_0050 (by SoulJah)
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.

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.

Turns out they only have a set limit tolerance being taken pictures of. Right after this shot, he threw down my songkok and walked away. Just like that.
