Frisbee

What's a public field, if you don't put it to good use and what's putting it to good use, if you don't use it to host a sports tournament of some sort, and what's a sports tournament if it doesn't involve throwing the round piece of plastic that we love to call...the frisbee!

I'm not particularly into this sport in any way, and didn't even remotely take part in the competition save for helping to tabulate some scores in the beginning but it's nice to know that there are so many people out there actually who are into this whole 'I throw you catch' phenomenon.

As in any tournament or competition, it takes a whole lot of effort and coordination to get things going smoothly and perfectly, as demonstrated by the hilarious moments that ensued when the stubborn PC microphone just refused to pipe in a live connection to the speakers. But then again, it was actually quite cool to have announcements pre-recorded and played later ;D Kudos to everyone who was involved in the tournament, all the hard work and effort would eventually pay themselves off someday, I'm sure :D

I managed to snap quite a few pics here and there with my fresh set of rechargeable AAs, but the best ones were taken by someone else who ran around with my camera, whom I have no idea who it was. Thanks anyway for the shots, Jud! (I think).

Our very own line of first-aid members on standby, how's that for being professional? :D
Okay, maybe not ours but still...

The competition under way.

But the more interesting part of the day was definitely having some Temerloh youths over for a short visit here. And of course we got the chance to meet up again with Jason and Khai Jye :)

Who doesn't miss Khai Jye's smile around here, heh xD

We managed to squeeze in some time for a short session of getting to know each other over the outdoor games and also the lunch that followed. Wielding my trusty ol' camera, I got off the hook of 'everyone must play' and stood around trying to capture the funnier moments of the charades that they played (it's always a blast to play charades).

And to top it off..
Try to guess the character they were trying to portray, hahaha xD

Khai Jye notices the camera even when everyone else couldn't and whips up his trademark smile just in time for the shutter :D

It was a great day for the most part, though it was a shame that we couldn't accompany the Temerloh people to Pyramid for their shopping trip. Oh well, it'll be our turn next to visit them in Mentakab and Temerloh. But by then, I had better get my 'half-bucket-of-water' Mandarin brushed up to an acceptable level...

Sunny? Sweaty? No problem at all ;D

One anorexic-looking kid and a temporary teacher bored out of his skull after the Temerloh group got on their way to Sunway for their shopping quest.



And the clincher...taken from the recent Beijing Olympics adverts, here's our brilliant Jonathan Tan doing his bit for the biggest sporting event of the year!

Quote: As a coach for the upcoming Olympics, I always tell my athletes that "You are what you eat". Eat garbage, and you're more likely than not heading for an early exit. Eat right however, and you would be able to bring out the very best in yourselves. Whether it is in running or jumping or any form of sport that we're competing in, I insist that my boys get only what they deserve. Real athletes need real food, and real food needs real quality. That's why I believe in McDonald's. Great nutrition, greater taste.


Oh yea, happy birthday Mr.Tan!!!
