Going through the photos from the last couple of months, I realised that I did not blog about the boys' recent School Sports Day. It was held at UIA main sports stadium, on a Saturday morning I happened to be free that weekend, so I became the designated driver. I was also asked to give away the prizes for the kindergarten. Irfan happened to be one of the participants.

Irfan and his friends
I knew I was not fully equipped when I only turned up with my dSLRThe weather that morning was gorgeous. Too hot in fact but luckily the boys' events were amongst the first. But first, there was the serious business of marching. Both of them were involved, Irfan with his kindergarten group while Idlan was with one of the main houses, the Yellow House, Rajawali.
Usain Bolt, eat your heart out!
The anchor was a bit chubby.That was why they came in only third!As usual, the marching was rather elaborate, and sometime made me wonder if that was the main event rather than the sports. A good hour passed until all the procession were done. Then, Irfan started his telematch - three games all together where everybody ended up with prizes. Idlan participated in the 25m x 4 relay. He came third and missed out on the medals. That became the main topic of talk for the rest of the day since Irfan returned with a medal. Idlan said it didn't count as it was me who gave the medals away. He kept asking me if I have any extra.
We did not stay the full event. By the time their events were done, it was already close to 11. We left for lunch at The Curve instead.
