MYG Sports Day 2009

We had the annual MYG Sports Day two Saturdays ago at RJC. Once again, it was time to don our exercise garb for a day of fun in the sun with the residents (well, not really, we weren't in the sun all that much... but it's a catchy phrase :P).

TH's group name for this year's Sports Day was "Italy" because, well, the organisers appeared to have chosen "international sports" as the theme.

At our first station, the residents used (dry) beans and macaroni to make a "mosaic" heart.

Behold the flying saucers.

At the next station, we played tug-of-war against another team... and we won! (Well... with a little help here and there from our benevolent volunteers, anyway... heh...)

After that, we really did go out into the bright sunshine for a zig-zag running/tagging game.

We then had a little tea break, during which the residents enjoyed buns and drinks.

Next, we played Captain's Ball.

Once upon a time, there was a sash-wearing pageant king who needed a place to rest his sore wrist...

For this year's beauty pageant, we have decided that our nominees will battle for the crown on the ball courts instead, so that we can finally do away with those cliched questions that always seem to have 'world peace' as the answer...

The last event of the day was an indoor telematch, followed by a prize-giving ceremony. (Each resident received a little souvenir, so everyone went home a winner!)

After that, the volunteers went to Chomp Chomp in Serangoon for the customary, after-project dinner/outing. Erm... the good thing about going out with (generous) working adults is that they sometimes give you a treat... :)

Now that it's raining more than ever, know that we'll still have each other, you can stand under my umbrella... ella, ella, eh, eh...

See that mound of satay there? Well, a significant portion of that went down my gullet... And not all of it was voluntary...

Due to a little mix-up, people at my table ended up with HUGE mugs of sugar cane juice.

Well, I certainly didn't go hungry that night. Probably consumed more calories than I lost during the Sports Day events. :P
