Buli bah kalau Bayu!

So, was invited by Astro, via Jollence Lee, to the launching of Radio Bayu at Sutera today. Met lotsa old press friends. Honestly, I was a bit in the dark about the event and was obviously out of touch with my journalism instincts. In a mouthful, Radio Bayu is a satellite radio channel that plays purely Sabahan music, not necessarily KadazanDusunMurut music only, but all kinds of music and genre, of artists and musicians from Sabah. So for the folks that are pressing the 'scan' button on your car radio or handphone, its not there yet. Look for it on your channel guide on your Astro. I guess with Sabahans being everywhere in Malaysia now, its only natural that a Sabahan radio channel is up. By the way, all the radio announcers will be talking in Sabahan Malay and I think Sabahan English too. Bah, here are some photos of the launching.

Self Shadow Portrait

I think this is the picture of Australia I had in mind all this while. I had to take a picture of the red soil and the clear skies.

Early Rainy Morning at Bridge near Rasa Ria

So, on the 4th of January, I made plans with Beevy and Josie, who brought along Lola, to go to this bridge to take photos. After earlier advices from friends who have shot the sunrise there, they said I gotta be there before 5am to catch the sunrise. Well, we were there before 5am, but the sunrise came after 6am. To make matters even worst, it started to rain. So no sun, had to wait up for more than 2 hours, rain; and for me, sick till today. But still, I think I managed to catch some rare shots under the bridge. Made my day!
