End of school term 2016

Time flies, we are in the last quarter of 2016 already.  Exams are over for the kids, it's end of school term for this year.  One of the main activities for every school would be the Sports Day, most of the schools having their Sports Day at the beginning of the year, some towards the end of the year when all their exams are done with so the students can concentrate on training and perform well.  

I attended my kid's sports day last week, the marching band is not perfect but good enough for primary school students with about 2 weeks training.    

After the sport day, I could noticed my girl had sun burnt, good training for her to be in the matching band. 

School Sports Day 2016

After 30 long years. besides joining the cross country run in Feb 2016, I also went back to my secondary school for their sports day last week.  I met a lot of my school mates on that day but haven't got the chance to chat much. 

It's the final day of the 3 days annual sports meet, everything is pretty much the same as yesteryears except they have much bigger and stronger cheer leading team for every houses.  The students have put a lot of efforts into this event which has turned out to be the highlight of the annual sports meet.

I only managed to upload the performance by yellow house cheer leading team so far, mascot is Simba of the Lion King :

the mascot for Red House is McQueen

The champion cheer leading team for 2016 is the Green House, Their mascot is Peter Pan of Neverland

Blue team, mascot is Rio

The school served refreshment to the VIPs

The kuih is filled with peanuts too sweet for me

Free 100 plus and Oishi drinks as well..

School Holiday Activities - Rock Climbing

Only during school holidays that our kids can allocate time to explore more activities in sports and other areas of their interests.  Besides Archery, they chose Rock Climbing which they have been wanting to try.  Our friend told us about Sabah Indoor Climbing Centre at Likas Sports Complex  where all three of his children are doing great in rock climbing and have built up strong arms through this activities. 

After observed other climbers,  our girls would like to have a go for it.  Only members are allowed to take part.  We have no choice but to register both of them.

Now they hold a card to learn how to climb like a lizard..*.*  10 lessons to practice their climbing at any time they want at this 8 meters high man made rocks walls.

 pearl took the challenge first.

 the 1st stage was pretty easy for her

she has climbed all the way to the top.  well done!! 

Crystal has no problem climbing to the top too on stage 1.  After few rounds at stage 1.  They proceeded to a more challenging stage 2.  The stepping rocks are much wider apart.

 crystal trying on stage 2 where the surface are uneven with less rocks to step and grab.  Almost climbed to the top.

Pearl did the same too on stage 2, near to the top.

They did pretty well considering the first time on rock climbing.  This activity not just build up muscles also build up their determinations.

Experiencing Archery

That was last weekend we stumbled upon this archery shooting outlet at 1Borneo.  It's the first time our girls experiencing the bow shooting game of Archery.  

We paid RM12.00 for 24 arrows/bows for 2 players meant for my 2 girls.  I myself had participated an Archery competition organised by my previous employer more than 10 years ago where I got a 3rd placing among my peers.  I can tell you that I am a born Archer as I am a Sagittarian woman, ^.^  I should have pursued as an archer who knows I can bring honour to the country..{dreaming}.

Back to the archery game:

Pearl rejected to the game at first but willing to have a try after seeing her jie jie having fun towards the end. Only 2 bows left for her by then.  She is still too small and not strong enough to handle the bow set.  At least they have got some idea of what Archery is about through this game.
