My Past Life

-
Here are two pictures from my past.  Can you spot me?  I can't even spot myself in the picture when I was in kindergarden in 1982.  Why have I decided to put this picture is beyond me...  I got this picture off from facebook, I got these picture tagged on me by my classmate.  I went to St. George's School up till Form One.  I transfer to Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin (SOAS) College in Form Two, to make my dad's driving life easier.  

My two older brother was studying there and my dad thinks it is wise for me to join them instead.  During that time, my mum decided to build a house in the Tutong District.  A year later, we moved to Tutong, and I got transferred to Muda Hashim Secondary School.  I stayed there until my O'Levels.  And till now remain as the best memories in my life.  





The second picture, if I am not mistaken was when I was in Primary Six.  See anyone you know?  LOL...  Just in case you are wondering where am I?  I am on the last row, forth from left.  Short and stubby.  I was a skinny boy until I was in Primary one.  I feel sick when I was finishing Kindergarden and was admitted into the hospital for a few months.  Then, my body just blew up and grew up as an obese boy and remain 'big' until I was 26 years old.  I wasn't big or obese, I was just stocky throughout my adolescent life.  I blame the medication they gave me when I was sick, I suppose the medication gave me a permanent 'healthy' appetite...  LOL...

It was a funny story really how I got into fitness.  It was from being broke.  I didn't know what else I could do.  I only had a couple of hundred bucks to survive the whole month.  But the good thing was I was debt free.  It came about when I moved houses that I rented.  I had to pay deposit to my new place and paying moving charges, etc.  So feeling bored and with limited amount money, I am left with nothing much but to fill my time with running.  I ran and ran... I saw results, I kept at it.  I started at a very stocky heavy 88 kgs and ended up to a 58 kgs.  I lost 30 kgs in 9 months.  But that doesn't mean I was broke for 9 months... LOL... I kept at it as I saw results and changes in my body.  I was also determined to ran the first marathon that was held in Brunei.  But I got myself injured a month before the race.  I had to retreat and succumb to my injury.  But I did manage to finish the 2nd marathon held a year later.  

So now you know about Kellaz (a.k.a. Saiful)...  There are some people who are shy or embarrassed of their past and for good reasons too.  Some people rather keep and hide their past where the belong...  in the past.  But for me, my past is who I was and it is the only thing that makes me who I am now.  Of course there are a lot of things, I should be embarrassed about or should have kept hidden or even should never been mention.  But when we look at it, having those mistakes is the reason why we are strong, confident and responsible person that we are now.  Don't you think?  It's the glorious past that makes the wonderful and brilliant us now.  And best still, now will soon be the past and we'll be a better person the next time round.  
To trials, tribulation and hope!  Until then, hope you like reading about my past, take absolute good care of yourself and I wish you well.  Ciao!

Happy Birthday to Me

Happy Birthday to Me Warning: This will be a long read. There are a lot of things in my mind which I wanted to express. Today is my birthday, and now I am three decades old. Time has travelled so fast in front of my eyes. And today, I look back my life and reflect my past. And will also discuss my years to come, insyaallah. First and Foremost, on the eve of my birthday was the Sixty Second DJ competition which ran align with the best 914. Best 914 is a singing contest where the contestants are selected from a radio show which they called in and sang with a minus one song. And now, yesterday they sang really really well and they sounded like professional singers. It's amazing that they are just singers who just sang along in the radio, for some they have been into a few singing contest. Then it was our turn. I was the fifth contestant, to go and face the crowd. It was nerve wreaking looking at what looks like about a thousand people watching you. I did what I can, and I did it wi...

Tolerances and Compromises

-
I'm half angry and half sulking with my OH . Sometimes my OH have this ability to make me feel needy and clingy. Sometimes I feel that I'm always the one giving and giving, thus making me feel just like that. It is as if, I'm holding all my cards out for everyone to see for the sake of love. And I'm only making a great fool of myself. Where does that fine line starts or stop? Where would you draw the line from doing something for someone your love and doing anything and everything for someone you love? As days go by, sometimes I feel I'm doing the latter. I'm only writing my frustration here, not to belittle my beloved OH , I just need to release this anger that I am having at the moment. So what was this all about? Without elaborating too much on the matter, I asked to be together for one night and do what I wanted to do and then, I got a quick turn down. Purely because my OH don't feel like it. I've done my part of reluctance for the sake o...

Sunday at the Beach

Since we had a great shooting at Tutong's Seri Kenangan Beach last week.  We decided to do a sequel with the usual crew, my mentor Corey and our model of the month, Redz.   So I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves, it's mediocre, I know, I'm still learning and I'm still couldn't get over with photoshopping issues.  I lose some quality when I reduce the image size.  It has been a great weekend.  And I sense a great weekday ahead. On our way to Seri Kenangan Beach The Tumpi (Malay Pan cake) was good, we nearly forgot the sun was setting, I love the silhouette created by the setting sun. A post card picture of a father and son, taking pictures of the sunset. Casuarina Tree Redz contemplating to go deeper into the sea... Breaking the waves Mastering the Panning technique Of course, we couldn't forget our Next Bruneian Top Model!  Picture perfect! So Until then my dear readers...  hope you like my pictures.  Comments appreciated.  These pictures are n...
