The Wolverines

Phew! What a day it's been today! whew

Got up at 6.00 am as my son needed to be at the sport's complex by 7.00 am. He was really excited as he and his team mates get to be Wolverine for the day. He kept reminding me to snap pictures of him, not that I needed to be reminded because I was looking forward to snapping loads of photos for the event.

The event was supposed to start at 8.00 am but the speakers system was not even in place. They should have set that up the first thing but I guess it can't be avoided seeing all the teachers had their hands full coordinating the school children, the attire, sporting paraphernalia and whatnots.

The event itself was pretty decent, with some entertainment provided for the visitors. Come to think of it, when they finally set it up, it looked suspiciously like they borrowed someone's home stereo speakers. We didn't stay very long, left at 10.30 am as there was nothing much left to see except the parents and teachers event which I always avoid. Most parents did the same thing too... perhaps we were all shy to be asked to run seeing how unfit most of us were. heehee

Here are just a few photos. Too many will slow my load time considerably.

Traditional dance... went on for almost 10 minutes! sleep


Yellow House members in their Wolverine getup... waiting for their mask.

  4. I love events like this! When I was still in grade and high school (same school for me), we held events like this every February as it is the school's foundation day.

  10. SweetKooki ~ It's an annual affair in all schools I think. During my time, we even build our own huts from bamboo poles and coconut leaves, It was so much fun!

    I won 2 track events (4x400m and I forgot the other one) but I lost my medals, so sad :(

    I badly need new eyeglasses!

  12. Maslight ~ The Blue House's mascot is the best, tapi dunno apa the creature was.

    Red was Spiderman, green looked like a Frogman (LOL!) but I'm not too sure. Purple was probably Zorro. I didn't bother to ask.

    Glemer?? Tu belum pakai bling2 lagi tu Mas... LOL!

  25. Nice photos! Haha, I had to laugh when I read about the reason why you left early because that's what I do too. I always find reasons for the parents' events.

    Thanks Liza. There's no way on earth I'm running in front of hundreds of spectators... haha

    Unfortunately I didn't stay long to get the results. I'm pretty sure it was between the Yellow House and the Blue House. I'm rooting for the Wolverines, of course :)
