End of the day I was exhausted and also upset as my new camcorder (which I bought just 4 days before) was gone. It was stolen in the crowd. In the new camcorder was videos of the performance at BSB, KB and also the banquet at the Royal Palace on His Majesty's birthday.

His Majesty Meet and Greet @ Kuala Belait - 19/07/08

Was busy sorting out competition photos and others... that I haven't update yet. So here are my updates.

Was on the way to KB when suddenly I heard a *bang*. I pulled over to the side of the road and inspected my tyres. Found out one of the tyres burst. Phew! Lucky nothing else happened. I did a quick change and went off.





A closer look

His Majesty went down to Kuala Belait for the annual meet and greet in conjunction with His Majesty's 62nd birthday celebration.











Guess who?!



It was hot but fun and worthwhile. I love celebrations. More photos here and here.
