<p>This may not be the best picture around.</p>
<p>This may not please you if you&#8217;re looking for a punchy landscape picture.</p>
<p>This may fill the void in your &#8216;rejected-kind-of-image&#8217; criteria.</p>
<p>In every one of us, there exist a certain way on how we see kind of things. Often we put ourselves in judgmental mode, trying to determine what is best and what is not for the good sake of our own preference. Preference can be translated as need. The need to satisfy ourselves does not always comes in perfection. In performing our way to find a flawless result, we set a path that carefully tailored so it&#8217;s possible to achieve our goal in a less risky way. Risk is what we always want to avoid &#8211; action that we often apply in moving on with life.</p>
<p>It is okay to be flaw. It is okay to be weak. It is okay to admit our lack of knowledge. It is normal to be humble and &#8216;nail&#8217; ourselves to the floor until we find a strength to lift our good self without anyone help.</p>
<p>After all, what doesn&#8217;t kill you will make you stronger.</p>
<p>*Happy photo-hunting to all participants of Petronas Photography Competition &#8216;Beautiful Labuan&#8217; contest 2010. The dateline is just around the corner!*</p>

I came across this white heron playing near the beach at Sg Miri, Labuan F.T. The bird was playing near the water and tried to avoid incoming waves.
