Saturday was a busy day for us all. Besides working (yes, it was a working weekend for me), we attended the girls’ sports day in the morning and my cousin’s baby’s birthday party in the evening.<\/p>\n

The girls have been practicing for the sports day events in school daily in the morning for a month. Daddy, who’s the one who sends the girls to school told me our girls can really run and do all the sporty stunt. I was looking forward to see for myself. <\/p>\n

We arrived at the rented hall and met with a good crowd, had some breakfast and waited for the event to start.<\/p>\n

Zaria all prep-ed for the event. And you can tell that she’s in Red Team (and so was Zara)

The sporting events started after some speech giving, and good that they kept that short.<\/p>\n

1st event<\/strong>, the kids have to run a short distant, crawl under a bench, run another distant, u-turn back and run to the same bench, crawl under it and run back to the team.<\/p>\n

2nd event<\/strong>, the kids have to hold a bean bag with their chin, run a distant, u-turn back and run back to their team.<\/p>\n

3rd event<\/strong>, the kids have to hold a ball, run a distant, u-turn back, and run back to their team.<\/p>\n

4th event<\/strong>, the kids have to use a hoop to drag a ball a distant, u-turn back, and then drag the ball bag to their teams.<\/p>\n

I have to say I was very impressed with both girls. Both could really run, and have good coordination. When Zaria returned from the crawling-under-the-bench event, her teacher and some parents came to tell me, “Your girl is really good, and she’s so fast”<\/span>. Some other kids needed the teachers’ help and guidence, while Zaria did that on her own, and she’s the youngest<\/strong> in school. *beaming with pride* <\/p>\n

And Zara runs like the wind (actually I call her Dash, after the boy in The Incredibles). All our daily trip to the park, and getting them to race in the park for exercise does help. <\/p>\n

My only regret, our lousy<\/strike> camera couldn’t get good photos with the girls in motion. (Just see how crappy the photos look like). <\/p>\n

(Luckily these came out ok, but that’s also because they were going slower)

After the 4 events, they have a short break.<\/p>\n

They had so much fun when the principal asked “Do you want more”<\/span>. Zaria replied loudly, “YESSSS!”<\/span>

The parents then joined in the fun.<\/p>\n

Mummies formed a human chain, and passed rubber bands with straws. See in 5 minutes, who passed the most rubber bands.

Parents joined in baloon fight, see which team remained with unburst baloons.

And then there was also family drawing competetion.

Although Red Team came third place overall, everybody got their prizes, and everybody had a fun day. Well done, school! And Bravo Girls!<\/p>\n
