Bowling tournament

Last Saturday there was a bowling tournament organised by our company at Mid Valley. As you know, my better half works on Saturday so it's just me and the cuties.

We had breakfast together though at my better half's office's coffee shop. I don't really like the food so I tapau something for the cuties. Nasi lemak has always been their favourite food.

And how did our team do??

Bukan nak berlagak kan but kalau dah terror harus lah jadik champion!!!! Rumah lain, makan kasut lah!!!!(Thanks Hafiz for the pics, I forgot to take the camera from my better half)

Jangan marah yer........

The cuties Sports Day

After having to wake up early on Saturday, I still need to wake up early on Sunday. This time to attend the cuties Sports Day. All 3 were in involved, my baby in her Sukaneka and my princess and my hero both in 4X100 relay race. My hero was also involved in the opening marching event.

We took them for breakfast, we don't want them not to have energy to perform. The last thing we need was for the cuties to passed out in the middle of the field.

We arrived just in time. The event was about to start and my hero ran to take his place in the marching event. He is in the Red House.

My baby got first in her event and she was very happy about it. Me, being a "tak tau malu" mom, was shouting, screaming and jumping to cheer her to the finish line.

Too bad for my hero and my princess. Their team did not make it. Relay race is about team work, even if you are a fast runner, you may not win should your team not as fast as you want them to be. But I told them not to give up and try harder next time.

The verdict ; all of us went back at least 30% darker than our original skin tone...Nyesal tak pakai sun block!

The netball match

I mentioned this earlier, there was a netball tournament last Saturday. And as usual, yours truly has to play due to shortage of players. All of a sudden, it's dejavu all over again.

I have been playing netball since primary school. I may not be good at it but ok lah, not so bad. And ever since I can remember, I played GS. The reason? This is the only position with minimal movement and doesn't require any defending roles. Hence, I am the shortest shooter ever!

We had fun though the 2 referees totally suck big time! Macam tak tau main netball. And what's with the both of them not agreeing with each other. Tiup wisel dah lah macam tak makan. Then, expect us to be mind reader and know why the whistel was blown. Never have I encoutered such non-quality referees.

But, other than that, I had fun. Meeting those people that I don't usually meet during the normal working days and hanging out with them. With my new job scope, I don't get to spend time with them like before as my new role don't actually involve meeting internal people.

We came in third. Oklah, met our target....asal tak last ;)...

But, woke up the next morning feeling like ***t! Ha ha ha!!!

Wish me luck!

On my way to play netball for my team...

Though I know the chances for us to win is very slim, but I look forward to have a good time during the event.

Nevertheless, please do wish me luck. Who knows with your prayers, we may win this game!

Go Kryptonite!(That's the name of our team by the way)

Sports Carnival Is Back!!!

It's the time of the year again. The time where I start to take our my sports shoes from the closet. The time where my gym routine become more frequent than before. The time where I sweat and meeting up with my once a year sports buddies.

As usual the start of the event would be Futsal. And the venue this year was very convenient, in Subang unlike the previous venues, in Ampang. Baru ler adil kan.

And this year, the activities were not only meant for adults. There were activities for the kids as well, hence for this launching, I brought the cuties along.

This guy performed as one of the opening act. He did this ball juggling event which was very impressive. My hero enjoyed it very much, he insisted a picture was taken with this guy. Sorryler, forgot his name lah.

Our team did very badly but it's ok. We had a lot of fun and this year was the first year this game went well without any "fighting" incident. Maybe the level of kiasuness have toned down a little.

One game down...about 12 more to go!

We are the champion

The heat is on....

When we arrived, so many of the GREEN participants were there. It was like a carnival!!

Our team chose red as the team colour.

We actually came with a very low expectation, we just wanted to play and have a good time. So, winning was not what we expected.

This is how we warm up before the game....by dancing....

I wore jersey number 7, not because I am as good as Beckham, or good looking either, but it was because that's the jersey that I can fit into.

I played the defend role.

All and all, it was a good event except for something that happened in the end which I choose not to blog about it...

I was given chocolates for gracing the event. Not healthy lah like this...

The bottom line is......

WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Squash - the real thing

Ape ler gunenyer membeli racket if tak main kan...jangan membazir...

So, on Tuesday, had my very first actual squash training with my own squash racket.

It was much more complicated than what I imagine it to be.

The misconception on squash identified :

1. I thought the objective of the game was to hit the ball to the wall until your opponent cannot take the ball anymore. Teet!! I was wrong, there are rules and regulation tied to the game

2. I thought the ball is bouncy. Teet!! It is not as bouncy as the tennis balls.

3. I thougt when you serve, you just serve. Teet!! You have to serve with one leg in the small red box, serve to the other side of the court(the opponent side), and the ball must reach the big square on the opponent side. I told you it's complicated!

4. I thought as long as you hit the ball on any of the walls, you're good. Teet!! You need to hit ball within certain line...

And I conclude, squash is a complicated game...and it hurt my hand soo much...

Nevertheless, I love the game already. And all sessions whether squash or no squash, photo session is a mandatory!!

So, any takers for squash...

Bring it on!!

Tonite is the nite....(Or is it morning?)

After weeks of sleepless nite and coming to office like zombies

After most of the faves team dropped like flies, one by one

After the underdogs rules

It finally comes to this

Is it Spain or Germany?

Is it team that has Villa, Torres and Fabregas ?

Is it team that has Klose, Ballack and Podolski?- not forgetting Lehmann, used to be best keeper ever!

My choice?

After being dissapointed by my 2 teams ; Italy and Portugal-mind you this choice is not because Ronaldo's looks whom I'll respond to like this...what look, totally not my taste!!

I'll leave that later, let's just enjoy the game for now...

Hope will still be able to come to work and not getting any Eurotitis!!(Yeah Jay!!)

Enjoy...

Makan bola, tidur bola-what tidur...

Ok bye! The game about to start...

Blogging via berry with my better half snoring away next to me

Squash time

Let me start this entry dengan memohon seribu kemaafan pada K Red on the squash thingy yesterday, jangan marah no!! Kesilapan teknikal dan kesulitan amatlah dikesali...

Anyway, we're supposed to start our squash suka2 session yesterday after office hour, but only Ms Tall showed up. Myself and Ms Jelly were engaged in the tea talk given by a prominent political economist and Ms Captain pulak was stuck with work.

I managed to go down after maghrib player but already in tiredness, so lazy to change to my sports attire and play. Azrul still went ahead with his office wear...

Next week, I shall make sure I am at the gym for squash!!! Nantikan kemunculan diriku....For those who need some laughter in life, you are welcome to watch ;)

Bowling action

As bloged earlier, we had our bowling tournament(actually, I prefer to use the word competition, tournament sounded so.....professional!!) last Saturday at Cosmic Bowl.

First and foremost, I want to comment about the alley. Not that the alley was that bad, but I prefer the one at Sunway Pyramid, where I bowled earlier with my better half. The bowling ball was not that good, adeler pecah skit sana sini, and the alley was also not as good...I hesitate to say anything about this, people may have the impression...macam terror je minah nie!!

Breakfast dulu, makan bersama tak kira opponent or team sendirik, semangat kesukanan babe!

At the entrance, sape lagik kalau bukan K Red and Azrul, my blogger frens, cum workmate...Let the game begin!!!I did not do too bad, better than last year and better than the other day I had the so called practise with my better half, on average scored about 100 plus skit per game. Ok ler tu kan, usually 70-80 jer...That's a progress kan...

I always wondered this 2 things...

Why do people use powder during bowling, baby powder lak tu...Seeing people did that, I did that too, tak terror gak. I did asked and was told, entah ler, org buat so we all pun buat ler, can someone tell me the rationale of this action.

And why do people use the cloth to wipe the balls. Is is because the ball is dirty or because to smoothen the ball. Again, I I followed the practise, again I don't find that improved my game. Again, I asked around, and again the same answer given above, so again, if you know why, please let me know...again.....

What I heard, unofficially, our team got second. Waiting for the confirmation....Or can again someone please confirm this for me...

Not to make a complete fool out of myself

I am never a good bowler, but love the game. This Saturday, there will be a bowling tournament organised by our Sports Club, part of the on going sports carnival. My main objective, actually 2 main objectives...

1. Not to make a complete fool out of myself (that explains the long title)

2. For my team not to loose because I suck!!!

So, after this event...(event ke?), my better half decided to teach me a thing or 2 about bowling.

We went to the alley at Pyramid, nearest to our home and we don't have to rush back later to pick up the cuties from school.

I did pretty ok, not too bad but of course not that good either...

Self reminder, to keep the hand straight, jgn bengkok2...

Rumah Merah, Biru and Hijau

I promised an entry on the cuties Sports Day so here goes...

All 3 are involved directly with the event. My princess participated in the Tunas Puteri march, followed by 4X100m relay race. My hero involved in one of the Sukaneka event and so did my baby. So, it was a busy day for my better half and me as well as we need to run around the field to make sure we snap the photos.

My baby's event was the first event of the day. She did not win but she was ok about it. Maybe she finally understood that in an event there will be winners and not winners(hate to use the word losers!)

Next, was my hero's event and his team got second place. He was very excited about it considering he did not win anything yet this year.

My princess who has been practising real hard, however, was dissapointed that her team got 4th place i.e. no medal. She keep on blabbering her dissatisfaction towards the teacher who chose one girl with asthma problem and never attended practices as one of the runner. Well, life is tough!

By the time all 3 completed their event, we headed to the canteen since my baby and my princess were complaining that they are starving. The good thing about this year's event was all the children were given packet of nasi lemak and drinks.

We didn't stay till the end of the event. The weather was very hot and I don't think I can stand the heat any longer.

Since the cuties potrayed excellent sportmanship and we now they really worked hard, we decided to give them a treat at KFC and they got to buy the chicky meal.(usually, we only bring them here but only can buy the food with no toys.)

This was the last Sports Day event the cuties will have in this school. Next year, with completely new school, new area and maybe new Rumah Sukan....

Sports Day - The Prep

The cuties will be having their Sports Day tomorrow and they insisted that we took them to the nearest field so that they can practise. My princess will be in the 4X100m relay race, my hero and my baby will be in the Sukaneka event.

We took them to the nearest and most descent playground in the area. My princess, once out of the car, quickly find a spot for her to do her run and she was timed by my better half.

While my hero quickly made friends with the boys there and he end up playing football instead. My baby, apa lagi, dah jumper playground, she tried all the fun stuff there from the swing to the see saw.

Posing dulu before balik...how did the Sports go...will blog about it later...

Netball - The celebration

Our kapitan decided to give us a treat, though we only got second place. This is due to the fighting spirit potrayed and one Director was quoted "We should confer them the King Leonidas award for the heart they put in!"

So, we had the grand extravaganze celebration at Chillis and I am so glad that all able to attend even our coach. I know the importance of team spirit and that is the most crucial part of the game.

Makan tak payah nak cakap...memang macam tak ingat...I think we ordered practically everything in the menu. From appetizers like buffolo wings and nachos, to main course like ribs, steak and salads to dessert, of course malton cake is a must. It's like a ritual whenever we visits Chillis.

Our kapitan showing some of the netball moves that he learnt thus far!


We also celebrated the birthday one of our player and of course coach tersayang...

All and all, we had a blast, full of laughters, well too much of that, to the extend my face hurt by the end of the dinner!

Netball, aduh sakit badan

After such a limited time practising, one time to be exact, the time has come to show what has been learnt.

Before that, I need to fulfill my responsibilities as a mother first. Woke up early as usual, then had breakfast with my hero and my princess. Since my baby has nothing on today, we did not wake her up.

My princess and my hero are representing their religious school in a tahfiz Al-Quran competition in Damansara. It was the 4th time for my princess and 3rd for my hero. They did not need me to come along since they'll be going with their ustazah and school friends. We dropped them off and waited till the van left the school.

My better half dropped me off at Ms Tall's house, nak tumpang her car to go to the tournament place, Stadium Juara, Bukit Kiara. When we arrived, being a typical Malaysian, not many people were around when the gathering time was supposed to be at 8.30am.

Once my team arrived, as a Captain, have to do my responsibilities as a captain pulak, leading a warming up session. And off then we headed to the court as our team will be playing the first match. The game need 7 in a team plus 3 reserves and our team only had 7 players thus no reserves. So, nak tak nak, have to play all the games and cannot even think of getting pancit...mati lah aku!!!

For those who were wondering, I play the GS aka Goal Shooter position and I think I am the shortest shooter alive. I have been playing that position since school days and also when I represented my previous company. You have to try and be one for you to know the real pressure in being one.

By the time we got into the 2nd game, we lost one player due to injury so we played only with 6 players and alhamdulilah we won and got into final.

We end up with 2nd place but I am so happy considering that 70% of us never played netball and the referees have to stop us from time to time sebab banyak rules were broken. Gerak kaki, halangan, sentuhan...you name it!!!

Me and the referees, macam kenal jer yang kecik comel tu, saper lagik kalau bukan K Red

As a result, balik harus yer sakit badan till now. That explains why I only start blogging today...Tak larat...

After the match, I have to attend a wedding, my neighbour's only daughter. My neighbour was also my teacher during primary school, so penat tak penat, still have to attend. Nasib baik the wedding was at Tabung Haji hall, air conditioned. I was so hungry and makan macam tak ingat...
Balik je trus crached on the bed and slept...what's the next program??? Tunggu!!!!
