Kedai Runcit...

Revisited Pasar Gadong this morning with Bruneian and Zadm. The last time, I did not explore the upper level of the market, so this time round, I made sure we did not miss it. The upper floor is the dry market, which is made up of vegetables and fruits stalls and little sundry shops like the one you see above.

From speaking to the tenants, it seems business is not so good these days as people normally frequent the wet market downstairs and seldom venture to the upper floor. I must admit, I have not visited the dry market for quite some time either, preferring to get my veggies from the supermarkets instead.

Will try to make it point to go up there more often... If you're at the wet market buying your fish and meat, why not venture upstairs as well?

Note: Read also Bruneian's lovely commentary on our outing.

  5. Tks guys! My objective here was to give the photo a "painted" look and bring out all the wonderful colours of the subject.

    If you read the literature on HDR, there are purists who argue that this is not photography, and I do agree, but at the same time, I think if the technology is there to create a wonderful piece of art like this from a photograph, why not use it?

    I've never been one to shy away from tech heheh! More eye-candy cometh thy way! Stay tuned!

Lucky Little Lad...

My buddy James was asking me the other day to name 4-6 most influential people in Brunei Darussalam's IT development. It was food for thought and I thought long and hard about this over the last few days and James, if you're reading this, below are my nominees: HRH Crown Prince Al-Muhtadee Bilah - Senior Minister, Prime Minister's Office HRH is very IT savvy and like all the younger generation, is very comfortable with ICT. I had the honour of presenting HRH with a PDA once and he took to it immediately, and I set up wireless internet both in his office at MFA and in his room at the palace so that he could access the internet from his PDA. This was some years ago when wireless was still a novelty. But from this interaction, I could already imagine HRH being the architect of a globalised Brunei (Cyber-Brunei?) where the knowledge economy would thrive. Pehin Dato Adnan - Minister of Home Affairs, former Director of Immigration & National Registration When he was Direct...
