Persatuan Kanak-kanak Istimewa (PKIK), a learning centre for persons with learning disabilities had their Sports Day in Kajang Utama recently. There were about 90 students/trainees who came along with their families.   The kids were very at ease and would pose for a picture any time. A family affair for us to volunteer at the Sports Day. Daddy was the cameraman, assisting him was Jin. I helped at the finishing line. Brandon was pretty excited at first, but the hot sun drained him fast. Wei & I took part in the family game. We didn't get a prize, much to his disappointment cos he thot he could beat the aunties but these 'aunties' were PRO!   March past from the little ones to adult trainees. Warm-up and stretch before the events. Sports events for the little kids. The parents were enjoying themselves so much in these events.

Posting by: Xian Jin I visited Kampung Simoi, Pahang with a group of friends. I was really excited to visit the orang asli village. Orang asli are the aboriginal people of Peninsular Malaysia. It was a long trip, approximately 3 hours. Half way along the trip, we had a break at a nearby restaurant. See the car... it was a makeshift way to sell things. This is Kg Simoi.

I strolled around the village. As these people were living near town, they could get the things they need easily. They had cars and even TV! The kids loved being photographed. You could see their faces smiling and g...

Sometimes there's more at stake in any competition than just winning or losing. We've just concluded our nation's 13th general election and the stake is not like getting a decorative medal. The experience could be so 'energy-zapping' for many. Maybe, it's easier to just talk about how my boys saw winning or losing from their perspectives. April was a busy month for inter-school sports and the annual school's sports day. This was the time that Xianwei looked forward to the most. He has won a lot of running events that we've a collection of his gold medals at home.  But this year was the start of a different journey for him. He's in the upper primary and have to compete with older, taller and stronger boys, not just from his school but with other schools as well. He's participating in more team events, ie relay races rather than individual races as well as volleyball games. It's a very good experience to open his eyes to see the real w...
