Balik Kampung (Kota Belud)
Now that we are certain on going to Australia for Trixie's Phd, we have been taking every single chance to make sure Kimo meets his Kota Belud grandparents, who in turn are seldom in Kota Belud. These are some fun photos of Kimo with his paternal grandparents. It was also a very hot day, and he really wanted to go in the bucket filled with water. Nasip bawa poninggolonon (change of clothes).

PAPARAZI!
The Prime Minister was on one of his walkabouts in KK and I was assigned to cover the event. This was one of my first assignments where photographers and journalists were pushing each other in search for that newsworthy photo. Two of these photos made it to the front page of a local paper. :)
Next two photos made front page

Pocket Bikes at Likas
Hello guys, have not been posting for a while now, internet and camera problems..but I am back!
I was by the Likas Sports complex today and saw them pocket or coin bikes going faster than my Kancil. So I stopped by to test out my newly reconditioned camera.
I was very impressed that most of the bikers were young kids, some as young as 5 yrs old (my guess).
By the way, please forgive the watermark in smack in the middle of the photos. After a photographer-friend's photos got used illegally in other websites, we photo-bloggers are now putting the watermark in the middle, instead of on the side, to protect the copyright of our photos.
Enjoy!

Product Tasting at CoffeeBean & Tea Leaf, Waterfront
Late this afternoon, I got an invitation from Shan thru Jacquelin to come and sample some promotional products at the CoffeeBean and Tea Leaf (CBTL), Waterfront. Wah, the power of blogging, but truthfully, this could be my first time blogging about food on a personal level.
The food that was to be sampled was the Red Bean Ice-Blended and the Mandarin Orange Cheesecake. I am not a great critique of food, but a I am great eater. LOL....but I guess I qualify!
Red Bean Ice-Blended key ingredients are the red beans, yes, the kacang merah our wives, moms, moms-in-law and grandmothers use to make bubur with. Well, CBTL has it in the powdered form too, making the ice-blend even more kaw-kaw with red bean flavor.
I suggest having the ice-blend with whipped cream (who wouldn't). By the way, the availability of this drink last as long as the red beans and red bean powder is still in stock.
Next product to sample was the Mandarin Orange Cheesecake. Dang, ya'll gotta try this one. You can really taste the citrus! Kalah-kalah Cheesecake Factory bah!
I think one slice of this cake can feed two people, my size. LOL. Unless you don't wanna share, like me. Well, this cake will only be around till mid March 2009, so folks, better rush to get your taste of this fantastic cheesecake.
Now the management did not stop at feeding us only red beans drinks and cheesecakes, they also provided a light dinner of salads, pasta and sandwiches, to my delight of my carb driven diet/stomach/life.
I think I had some fun with other bloggers tonight, have never met some of them, and am hoping to see more of them in other functions like this one.
I also would like to thank the great management and staff, notably Andrew, Shan and Charles, of CoffeeBean and Tea Leaf, Waterfront, who also graciously gave me an extra slice of the cheesecake to take back to my wife (a baker), the real foodie (by the way, she finished the cake in less than 10 minutes).
