18th Sentosa Kindergarten Sports Day

It's been some time since my last post. I've been very busy for the past three weeks and did not do any photoshooting. Luckily, my aunt had invited me to be the photographer for Sentosa Kindergarten Sports Day which held on 29 April 2007.

Nowaday, Kindergarten's sports day is very much different from my time. Last time, the same normal games repeatedly play every year. But now, the games are not an easy task for the kids of age between 4-6. This year, the games involved education, leisure and household activities.

Below are the series of photos I taken. Comments & Critiques are welcomed. Enjoy...

The Kids...they seems not very comfortable with my big camera :)

Every formal event must start with National Anthem...

And also some exercise...


There are 9 games in total to be completed by the kids. Each team will send 4-5 kids for a game and each kid needs to compete in 2 games averagely.

The first game to go is ROLL THE BALL...








The second one... PUT AND COLLECT... The first 2 games are quite simple and normal...






The fun begins in third game... TORTOISE WALK... The kids need to balance themselves on the small tortoise shoes.






Then comes PIERCE AND ARRANGE...






After 4 games, there is a short break. Parents are entertained by a music session by the kids...




The game continues with EGG COLLECTOR...






And the FISHING GAME... During this game, the kids was so concentrate and enjoy themselves. It is not easy to fish the 'fish'. Longest game of the day...








Then comes the education game, MIND YOUR A-B-C... Kids need to match the capital letter with the small letter of ABC...






The funniest will be this game, MY LAUNDRY. The kids will take turn to do their own laundry... :)








The final game, TUG OF WAR...








Last but not least, the Prize-giving Ceremony... Every kids get at least 2 prizes because even fourth will be given a trophy. So, the event is a happy ending event... :)








Lastly, I conclude my post with the cutest photo of the day...

Two MVs

Yesterday, one of my friends send me two YouTube URL regarding local self-made song and music video (MV). This two MV make me suprised of how good this local guys in making this two 'meaningful' songs... The first one titled 'My Friend' and another called Muar's Mandarin (as translated from chinese).

1. My Friend / Kawanku <-- Click to watch...
Just a plain MV with wordings throughout the show. A very good rap, with three part of very meaningful lyric. When watching this MV...some may get happy, some may get angry...some may think it's racist... To me, I don't really agree with the first part of the canto-rap (just another kiasu hokkien statement/lyric)...but the other two parts are very interesting. Just a simple song (LMF type) of domestic problems which are facing by us everyday and cannot be solve forever...

2. Muar's Mandarin <-- Click to watch...
This MV was greatly directed by these bunch of (amatuer) guys. Song is OK, lyric is funny...but the way the MV directed was so good. The editing is nice too. Just don't understand why this song called Muar's Mandarin but almost half of the lyric was sung in hokkien. Maybe Muar's Mandarin = mandarin + hokkien = Mandakien/Hokdarin (??!!!)

After watch these two MV, I feel "WOW...!!" It's good to see local people to have such talent and creativity in creating this two songs/MVs. Will they take another step forward in making an album??? Haha...for sure their album will not get pass Censorship Board of Malaysia... :)

**For your attention, please watch the two MVs with open minded. The two MVs consist quite heavy racism statement and you may offended by the lyrics. Watch at your own risk... Enjoy... :)

A Blue Day

Not everyday we can see a nice blue sky in Malaysia. Somehow I managed to take some shot of such lovely blue sky some time ago in October 2006. Time taken was during evening, where I can see the small moon in the blue sky and the cloud was quite dramatic... All shot taken with CPL filter attached.

Below are some photos chosen from my collection. Enjoy...



Not so dramatic blue sky...


A raining cloud???
