Last week, my lovely team at 24seven had our first team retreat at Aloha Loyang. The 3 days spent together was a fruitful and rejuvenating experience. We’ve got quite a lot of stuff ironed out and planned. 2010 is looking very exciting!
We’ve also invited fellow bloggers and friends for a BBQ on Wednesday night. It was a simple affair and everyone had fun (right?). I love gatherings like this. Fuss-free and casual.
As the team was occupied with “tasks” on hand that night – Kris and me at the BBQ pits, Eevon the bartender and Diana ensuring everyone gets food to eat, we didn’t have extra pair of hands for photo taking. Thanks to those who came and brought home happy photos from that night!
More of his photos can be found on flickr.
Read MoreIt was more than a decade ago since I last took photos with a film camera! And when I finally got my hands on the Holga 135BC (Holga) and Ultra Wide & Slim (UWS) from thirtysi36, I started my first 36 x 2 film shot.
One of those emo shots (Single exposure w/Holga)
The digital photographer in me who usually snap non-stop on the digital cameras, but I actually took more than 2 months to finish the 72 shots! I cannot believe it! Instead of randomly shooting at things, I used the first two rolls cautiously. I regretted not snapping more when I was in Bangkok! The photos turned out to be so randomly beautiful!
My first 72 shots didn’t all came out good. But I got more viewable shots than I thought. Not bad for a beginner lah. LOL!
Sharing my achievements from the two rolls of film… *coughs*

Its been 2 months since I last shared my life in cubes. Here’s a 4-by-4 of what’s happening to my life lately…
… well, actually nothing much. Cos life has been overwhelmed with work you see. >.<
I’m sure you do! His face was plastered everywhere in Singapore when he mysteriously escaped from detention in February 2008. And was recaptured in Johor Bahru on April 1, 2009. This major event had surfaced an important team of people whom we, the general public, don’t really see or know about. I’m talking about the Internal Security Department.
“Huh? What Internal? What’s that?” – that’s your reaction right? Yap! Mine too! But thanks to this opportunity to help spread words about the career fair for Ministry of Home Affairs (and also thanks to help from google), I am now less bimbo-tic on such things. *coughs*
Alright, so what is ISD? And what do they do? If you want to read the corporate and proper version about ISD, please go here. I am going to try explain it based on my own understanding.
This group of people working at ISD manages and deals with highly classified stuff, hence there are little awareness about them and what they do. But there is a wiki page on them with not much information either.
To put ISD’s work in context, the following are some of the key events which involved the resources from the Internal Security Department…
- The Maria Hertogh riots in 1950. This you cannot not know about right? We study about this riot back in school.
- In 1965, the MacDonald House bombing by Indonesian saboteurs that killed 3 people.
- The bombing attack plot by the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) in 2001.
- And the recent (and my title for this post) long manhunt for Mas Selamat.
