SK St Joseph's Sports Day

14 May 2009 ~ St Joseph Primary School Sports Day was held at Padang Jubilee. My husband and I brought our chubby son to support the event. This was also his first experience of sports day. However, he did not take part in any of the games.

My husband assisted to raise the flag. I wonder how he felt at that moment. Reminiscing the times when he was a student? I suppose it never occured to him that he will one day raise the school flag after leaving school.

Chubby boy was waiting anxiously for the games to start.

The singing of the national and state anthem and the school song, Sons of St Joseph. It has been 15 long years since I last sang that song.

The boy scout march pass. My husband was a formerly a scout. So, while watching the "not so" perfect marching, I suggested he go back and teach the boys how to march.

These were the young doctors (Doktor Muda) marching pass the grand stand. Wow, very impressive and I am really surprised that at that young age, they were expose and prepared for the life of a doctor.

Finally, the athletes representing their teams - Rumah Sukan. The teams are all named after the football clubs - Manchester, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.

Firstly, Arsenal

Then, Chelsea

MANCHESTER !!! yeah! In green?? ha ha ha! :p

Finally, Liverpool

A while after the games began, it started to drizzle and then came rain. Anyway, everyone was too excited and the weather did not bother them at all. It was really a fun day for the boys!

I look forward to next year's sports day and hopefully, my chubby son will be on the field and not a spectator.
