Twilight pun ada Sports Day

Twilight? Sports Day?

Okay... sila bayangkan Edward Cullen sedang bawa telur dalam sudu (telur ayam ye)... dan Bella sedang lari dalam guni. Hahaha.

Well, aritu 7 March, ada Twilight Sports Day at the East Torrens Primary School. Held from 12 to 6pm, maybe that's why it's called twilight- the time of the day when the sun is just below the horizon, especially the period between sunset and dark.

Anak-anak Melayu yang bersekolah kat situ really looked forward to the event. Lil Adam siap pilih baju hijau sendiri (after shower), not knowing I have bought a new green shirt for him. Danish (anak Gina) lak dah macam orang putus cinta, sebab baru baik dari demam... siap melengung dari luar rumah sambil mengharapkan hujan tak turun. Wafaa (anak Najwa) pulak pagi-pagi lagi dah suruh mama dia masak bekal bila tengok si mak macam relax je. 

Hahaha. Excited betul diorang.

Lil Adam is in the green team (Heath), sama dengan Farah (anak Ummi).

Danish team merah (Amber), Wafaa team biru (Reid).

Satu yang aku tabik kat sekolah sini adalah... tak payah spend duit pulak untuk beli baju sukan macam yang cikgu-cikgu kat Malaysia dok buat. Kutip RM10 sorang untuk T-shirt nipis-melayang-tahap-boleh-buat-tapis-kopi. Kat sini, pakai je baju yang ada, as long as it resembles the colour of the team. Aku je saja gatal beli baju kat Lil Adam, sebab banyak baju dia dah kecik, lagipun tengah murah kat KMart.

The event started with a short briefing/talk by the Principal, Meredith Starkey. Dia pakai baju colouful la, suaya tak nampak bias menyokong mana-mana team. Hehe.

Time ni aku tak sampai lagi, baru bergegas balik dari Thebarton. Well, as I blogged before... I don't want to miss my kid(s)' events selagi boleh... bcoz I know how disappointing it could be...so walaupun terpaksa bergegas, I still wanna make it.

 Cikgu-cikgu diorang pun sporting. Siap pakai fancy hats dengan rambut kaler ikut team lagi... macam Wendy ni. Games for the kids ada macam-macam... pakai baju/kasut/topi... main wheelchairs

Kat dalam gum pun ada games- skipping rope, bouncing ball...

 

 

The teams' tents. 

Untuk highschool kids dan parents/teachers ada tug o war a.k.a tarik tali macam-macam kategori. Tapi diorang ni takde la terer main tarik tali macam orang kita, yang siap pasak kaki dan lilit tali keliling pinggang.

Orang Malaysia, as usual la... duduk makan, sambil menengok orang bersukan. Hahahaha

That's me and Kim... and Lil Adam and Felix.

Lil Adam masuk lumba lari. Takde la dapat first place, but he did pretty well.
Basically, takde pun hadiah meraban yang membazir duit sekolah. Just a ribbon to be pinned on the T-shirts.

Lepas tu, we went to Lil Adam's classroom to update on his progress.
On that ladder art, Lil Adam placed himself on the ladder, painting the rainbow!

 

Guess what? 

Wendy (cikgu Lil Adam) ni dah 50, tapi chargas lagi. Energetic. Badan pun takde la macam mak-mak sangat, sedangkan dah ada cucu.

 

Sempat aku borak dengan dia pasal tips, bcoz I was hoping I'd have that kinda figure at that age. Rupanya dia pun macam aku jugak, kuat makan (semua makanan manis, sayur dia suka) but she never exercised. Never on diet. 

So, nampaknya ada harapan la kot aku untuk kekal slender at 50.

Kemuncak event, penyampaian plaque to the teams.
Heath was the first, followed by Amber and Reid.

Well, cenggitu la  Sports Day diorang. Waaaay different as compared to in Malaysia.

1. Takde bazir-bazir duit beli baju sukan RM10 nipis-melayang-tahap-boleh-buat-tapis-kopi.
2. Cikgu-cikgu pun participate walaupun dah berumur.
3. Takde berucap panjang berjela sampai basah ketiak menunggu 'wabillahittaufiqwalhidayah'
4. Takde membazir duit tempah medal/piala yang tak dan seminggu dah tercabut kepala.
5. Takde membazir duit makan-makan untuk VIP. Semua simple...makan hotdogs je.

Objektif untuk pupuk semangat kesukanan dan hidup cergas tetap tercapai. Nape ekkk Malaysia lorat-lorat takleh buat macam ni?
