My early skating days

This is how I got started in rollerblading. This, and roller-hockey.

This was way back in 1993/1994. I was 10/11 years old back then. Taken at Hyde Park, London, UK.


p/s: I can still do that trick! hahahaha

3R: Reduce, Reuse & Recycle!

Help the world around us! Be more environmentally friendly.

We ALL can help make a difference for the future. Adapt the "3R" policy: Reduce, Reuse & Recycle! We can prevent 88% of waste going to landfill by practicing 3R



Please don't take things for granted. Doing little things can make a huge difference for our future. Take action now.

Known facts:
Plastic can take up to 500 years to decompose
It takes 24 trees to make 1 ton of newspaper
Saving one ton of paper through 3R can save 17 trees

Recycled aluminium uses 95% less energy than making from ore
Recycled glass uses 50% less energy than making from silica
Recycled paper uses 60% less energy than making new


Start now! It'll not only save money & energy, but can make you a good citizen and show that you care about the world!

Good old days..

I woke up this morning quite early, considering its a Sunday. I was doing my normal routine checking out blogs and news, at the same time I was browsing through my pc. I've found a video of me from way back in April 2004, which I've totally forgotten about. The first word that came to mind was "ahhh.. the good old days.." and thus, the title. I thought I'd just post the video up. This was taken at UGC, Sheffield, Uk.




I looked outside my window and saw this:


I call it the "2/3 brotherly love" coz it's only my car and my first bro's car. My 2nd bro's car is missing from the picture, and he's got a red subaru. 3 siblings, 3 red cars! Thus, Brotherly Love.. hehehe

|PHOTOSHOOT| Part 2: Scouts Building, Beribi

After hitting the michellin rails, we went to the Scouts Building in Beribi. When we arrived there, the lights were still on, but when we were about to hit the rails, the lights were turned off. Plan B: we set up the spotlight that I brought (using ac/dc power inverter) for Samsul and Cefu to hit the rail. (Click on photo to see larger-sized picture in a new window).

Scouts Building, Beribi. Notice the spotlight? hehehe

Unfortunately, we had problem with the spotlight. So we ended the photoshoot. This was about 1130pm, so I just went back since i've got work the next morning, while the rest went to the stadium to skate some more.

Funny story: When the guys arrived Stadium, Kalik just realised that he didn't have his skates with him. Apparently, he left his skate at the Michellin rails, went to the Scouts Building, then went to stadium. Fortunately, his skate was still there when he went to get it. hahaha

All pictures by myself. More pictures are available at Kalik's.

|PHOTOSHOOT| Part 1: Michellin / Sin Hup Huat, Gadong

Last night we went for a skate session / photo shoot. We all met up at Yayasan ledges at about 8.30-9. There were Samsul, Cefu, Mac, B, Kalik, Gnee and some others. Warmed up abit at the ledges before the security came. We moved to TAIB ledges to warm up some more since B came abit late.

We finally moved to Michellin rails and set out for the photo shoot. (Click on photo to see larger-sized picture in a new window).
