Sports Day 2010

Recently, I was selected to participate in my school’s sports day.  Mama says that I must be good as they only selected about 10-20% of those from my year to participate.  Mama was kinda proud that this hyper-active son of hers actually can run in a straight line!

That was me leading the pack out to the field.

Oh, I didn’t tell mama that it was not a simple relay race, we had to balance a bean bag on our heads whilst running!

Me in action, the bean bag actually slipped to one side and I was balancing it with my head to the side.  Being the first runner, the pressure was high and it was a good experience for me.

Disney on Ice …

Mama took us for a great Disney show called Disney on Ice on Sunday.  According to mama, the tickets were expensive but it is a special treat for us for being good kids.  As usual, both papa and sis woke up late but we still got there early enough to get a good parking lot.  We were there about 30 minutes early and sat there starring at …

Once the show started, we were stuck on out seats as there wasn’t a time when it was boring.  Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, Daisy were all there!

Not only were the cartoon characters there but they also included Alice, the Mad Hatter and the other casts.

The main highlight after the show’s interval was the incredibles … battling … what’s the witches name?  Sleeping beauty’s step mothers name … ahhh … mama says it’s m.a.l.e.f.i.c.i.e.n.t …

Of course, everything ends nicely and here’s a final picture of the castle, we can’t have Disney without a castle can we?

Great show, great fun … thanks mama!

Wushu!

Me in my wushu uniform … don’t I just look tough!

Hee-yahh … :-)

Haircut!

=) These days, I seem to be having my haircut whenever papa wants to get his as well. This is my 2nd time at this barber.

That’s me with my toothy smile …

The barber cropping my hair. Finish product in the next post :P

Guess whose birthday it was?

MINE!  He he … celebrated it in Penang at ah-chor’s home.  A little different this year, as there were very few physical presents but more ang-pows.  Well, the reason was that I asked for it as I wanted a Wii!  Mama got me a Ben 10 birthday cake.

As usual, my little sister can’t wait for the cake to be cut.

A got quite a few birthday wishes over the phone.

My sister finally getting her share of the cake.

Great birthday, thank you everyone …  now we have to wait for sis’ birthday to get more ang-pows for the Wii …

More futsal

Another session of futsal over the long 3 day weekend.  Not many of my little futsal mates turn up, so we just had a kick around with Kieran and our papas.

It was a peaceful futsal day, with the older boys having their own game whilst us younger ones just kicking the ball around.  One of papas favourite photo of me …

Papa brought his large camera flash for the day and was able to take better pictures.

Easter Eggs

On Sunday, there was an easter egg hunt for kids around our place.  Nothing really to report other than we had fun running around the place looking for coloured eggs

We actually coloured some easter eggs, between sis and myself, we actually had 3 (can’t remember why, something to do with one of them cracked).

Qing Ming; Cheng Beng; Clear Bright Festival

Qing Ming, or sometimes known as tomb sweeping day generally coincides with Easter but somehow, this year, it’s a week earlier.  Last weekend, papa drove the whole family to Malacca for Qing Ming.

Mama has already informed me that it is time that I help out and learn a little more about this festival.  So, I went with Pei Kong (grandpa’s elder brother), grandpa, papa, grand auntie (grandpa’s younger sister) and one koh (papa’s cousin sister).

We visited a few graves where we clean the surroundings and gave a little prayer to the heavens and also to our ancestors.

Me helping out in trying to light the candles.

Saying a small prayer to the heavens.

My favourite part was to help out with the burning of gifts for our ancestors.

Times of bad economy according to papa.  Someone tried to “steal” the 1928 tiles of great-great-grandmother’s grave.  Papa says that those tiles can fetch a very good price as a gift.

We end the tradition by burning gold nuggets (made of paper) for our ancestors.

Futsal … errr … Soccer?

This is the 2nd Saturday that I went to have a go at soccer in a futsal in-door court.  Why soccer?  Well, the Australians still call it soccer although officially it is called football.  There’s also the soccer mum in tow! Thanks mum for waking up early and making the arrangements.  

Oh, of course, there will also be my number 1 fan this week.  She insisted on coming along as she was bored stiff with papa last Saturday.

Papa took the pictures this week but since it was quite dark and he did not want to disturb us using his flashgun, he took them as it is.  He apologizes for the colours.

Over here!, over here!

Free kick!

Look at that move!

Half time!

We played in court C and Kieran was there too!

Of course, the game did not go without some incident.

Aiks! My shoes!

All OK?

 New long socks!

We are taking a few weeks off, so I have to wait until the end of April before we have another session.  Mummy is wondering if I need shin guards.

Lion Dance and My Soft Effect

Accompanied my dad to take some pictures of a Lion Dance event. After taking the pictures, I realised that either my lens is dirty or I have accidently set the camera to take soft pictures. Anyhow, here it goes ...

The table laid out with the mandarins (kam, or literally translated as gold).

Here are the lions, a red and a yellow, rushing towards the "kam".


It seems pretty fierce, doesn't it?


I think there is something wrong with this old camera that my dad gave me ... hmphhhhhh ... time to complain to him and pester him to get me a newer, lighter, smaller, more megapixels and a proper working unit.

New Year Party

Pictures taken by me from the New Year Party! My funny daddy ... who may have had a little too much to drink!!

Now, where's my sister ...

Here we are, have a look at my sweet little sister ... all taken with my mummy's IXUS 75 (which is a present from my Yee Yee)
