Sports Day 2009

this is the first school event for the year. there's a couple more in june and towards the end of the year. we were excited this year because of asyraf. we already know amir's personality and capabilities but we're always left wondering with asyraf. he doesnt share much except for his tears. but we know he's fast. asyraf runs...he literally runs like the wind. hubby and i are amazed at his ability to just zoom off, bending and twisting his body to avoid running into anything in his way. because of that, we were excited for asyraf's first sports day.

















he did not dissapoint us. not one bit. he was calm and collected among the sea of screaming children. he was fine walking under the hot sun, holding on to his green pompoms, wearing his tweety mask (it was supposed to be wonderpet theme but i couldnt find any wonderpet mask).

















when it was time for him to perform his 2 tasks - collecting sweets & collecting plastic fruits - he was all ready. asyraf flew...he flew so fast he missed his baskets a few times. kak ida had to call him back, laughing because he over-shot his run. asyraf went away with a gold and silver trophy for his second and first game, respectively.

















amir, as usual, is more of a talker. he talked about his sports day preparations for over a week. we knew what he was going to do. come the day, he was so engrossed looking at his friends, laughing with them that he finished last in his first event. he performed better with his team though, they got first prize for walking with a bean bag on their head.

















ariff was upset. he was upset because he couldnt take part. i think he felt that they go to school together so they should participate together. okay...the 'brotherhood' in his name is showing. he kept wanting to cross the line into the tracks. next year lah mok.

















akmal was wonderful. since he's having flu, i gave him his flu meds before we left the house. he slept in the car, he slept during the event, he slept on the way back and continued to sleep an hour after we got home.

















the boys (and their parents) came back hot, sweating, thirsty and a shade darker. but we had fun and look forward to the next school event.
