When an iCentre representative called me earlier this week to ask if I could judge their first iMMerse Photography Challenge 2011, I did not immediately agree. It’s not because I had doubts, it was more to do with an appointment with a Chinese Petrochemical investor for whom I recently photographed their meeting with His Majesty the Sultan of Brunei at Brunei Energy Expo 2011. Instead of driving to BSB twice, my client agreed to meet on Friday morning to streamline a number of appointments into a one productive day.
Made an L dash from Coffee Bean hoping I'd get to the car but cut short by the pouring rain. Am going to show up at iCentre with a wet look!—

Everything had gone well, I was enjoying the frozen lemonade at Coffee Bean even though I thought it was ridiculously sweet for my taste, then there was a sudden out of nowhere downpour that showed no signs of easing. Already running a bit late for my lunch appointment with Eric, owner of Mr Baker’s Bakeshop I made a run to my car and didn’t get very far when the rain got heavier I was soaked within seconds. You could say I was completely ‘iMMersed’ :)

After a 10 hour road trip and a very productive day in BSB, I'm finally home. Incredible how I went from dry to bone-soaking wet then dry!—
