Happy Children's Day

Got a photography 'assignment' today. My dear instructors had 'invited' me, for the longest time, to capture them in their footballing glory. I had promised them I would do it today...even though it's early Sunday morning! Had thought of not wanting to go because of what happened yesterday. But...a promise is a promise...

It was a cloudy day. Not too good for outdoor shoots. Charlie Football Club beat the team of young punks we were up against 3-1. They had some issues with obeying the referees and following rules. Ah...but that is the 'exuberance' of youth I guess... Took about 200+ shots. You can see them here...

Then I went to CDANS Bukit Batok Driving Range to practise my golf. Been a long time since I've been there. Surprisingly I could still use the card even though it was many moons ago since I last used it. Hit about a 100 balls. My 7-iron was ok. Got about 120m with it. Accurate too. My 9-iron went about 100m. My pitching wedge was accurate also! Got about 75+ meters with it. My driver is improving. Some errant shots were inevitable. But a few were beautiful. One went all the way to 180m! Need to practise more driver shots...

The afternoon was the highlight of the day for my girls. They had been looking forward to Jayden's 3rd birthday party all week. It was held at the function room. Suffice to say they had lots of fun...oh, including the Mom and Dad...who relived childhood memories by blowing those soft balloons...we won that game! Oh...yup, we skipped the girls' afternoon class for the birthday party...c'mon, it's not often they go to a birthday party...

We broke fast at my maternal grandma's house. It's always a practise for us to break fast at both my grandmas homes during Ramadhan. Brings them a bit of cheer and chaos! We did a conference call to Julie at about 2130hrs...it was nice to hear her cheery voice...

Ah...a Sunday well spent...
