DJ Coollen Grind Video
Aside from snapping photos at the Skate Park, I also managed to grab a short video of him Grinding down some rails. Ain’t the best editing in the world as I’m still not used to shooting video with a dSLR as I’m more used to the P1s. Blaming it on my work in the broadcasting industry where we are so used to lugging around a big video camera on our shoulders instead of using a smaller dSLR.

Photos from the Malaysian F1 GP 2010
The Malaysian GP for the 2010 season is up and it’s going to be a very wet affair from what we could see from the qualifier. With a handful of upsets with Button and both the Ferrari drivers couldn’t manage a good time in Q1. The race will look to be an exciting one with the teams looking at ways to overcome their qualifying disappointment to come up tops.
It’s all down to the race strategies employ by each time and I’ll definitely be looking forward to it. Here’s how the top 10 drivers line up look like prior to the race. (more…)
Sights & Sounds of Vientiane, Laos Part 1 of 2
One of the captivating aspect of Vientiane, Laos is the beautiful architectures, I am not talking about their modern buildings but the beautiful temples and monuments that was created very very long ago that still survived til this day. Some people asked me whether it’s advisable to take a tour package to visit all these places and my advice would be, Yes, if you want a structured tour of Vientiane and not getting lost. It would be the safest way to travel and see the beauty of this city. Personally, I prefer to get take my own time to see these places and to keep my cost low, I rented a bike for the duration of my stay there.
A brief background on the city,Vientiane is known locally as Viengchan with a population of 600,000. It’s a city where you won’t find much towering sky scrapers. It is a change especially coming from a country where all you see when you look up towards the sky are tall buildings. Currency used there are Kips (their local currency) but you can also use USD at the shopping centers and restaurants. Do note that Kips are worthless outside of Laos so change only as much as you need or remember to change back to USD or your local currency before leaving the country as you won’t be able to trade the Kips outside of Laos. If you kick off your tour, most important thing to have even when you have a Tour Guide with you is to arm yourself with the maps! It’s not that the Tour Guides are not reliable in Vientiane, it’s about taking charge of where you want to go and what you want to do. After all, you paid for it right? As for those touring by themselves, it’s about not getting lost and know where you are going. The maps really helped me a lot in planning my trips. Be prepared for a very long post with a lot of hi-res photos after the jump. (more…)
Up-Close and racing with Sébastien Buemi
Previously, I posted photos of Jaime Alguersuari of Scuderia Toro Rosso, this post is about his team mate, Sébastien Buemi. Also taken at the same location, Sébastien carries himself in a more confident manner throughout the day, even at the Red Bull party (that’ll be another story for another post). So without much needed introduction, here’s some photos taken from that day.
