Well not much is going on guys, except the weekend is coming. A few of my friends have round up a fishing adventure at sea and have asked me to come along. At that time I happily agreed but now I’m not quite sure. It’s not that I have any other plan this weekend but it’s because of the rain these few days. I think this year rainy season start a bit early and have already showed sign that it’s gonna be a big one too. Well I just have to wait and see then.

For today’s post I have choose the famous Edvard Munch and here is his biography and a few of his artworks.

Edvard Munch was born on December 12th, 1863, in Norway and died on 1944.. At the age of 17 he was tutored by Christian Krohg a naturalist painter, who was quite famous in Norway. Krogh naturalist style of painting had a big influence on Munch where he incorporated his own expressionist tendencies works. Munch also spent considerable time learning philosophical matters where he then decided to paint with his soul and not his eyes.

Tonight at 7 pm my family is going out for dinner. It’s to celebrate my elders (Sam) son double victory yesterday. As you might have known (read yesterday post) I went off a bit early from work to watch Sam play and it was all worth while. He was brilliant in handling the ball and even score a goal!

Actually the second goal was from his assistance too as it was all his dribbling and passing the ball to another team player that lead to the second goal and he might even had scored more goals if the coach had not replace him with another player during half time.

The coach had to replace him because the team was already winning and the other coach (basketball) asked him to rest Sam for he is also needed to play in the basketball game later on. The soccer team won 2-0 yesterday. In the basketball game Sam played well too but I can see that he was a little exhausted. Well they also manage to win the game also and I’m very proud of Sam coz he managed to get both the
coach’s attention and trust to let him play in both matches. “Well done Sam!”.

Now here is some paintings I’ve chosen for today’s post. It’s from Vincent van Gogh . You can read about his biography in my previous post….thanks and enjoy.

Annual sports day

Posted by wira on September 16th, 2010 | No Comments

Today is my elder son school’s annual sports day. It is organized to encourage student to participate in sports. Many sports are going to be played today and the most waited for is the soccer and basketball match. Parents are invited to attended and to give support to their children and the school team (donation are
always welcome).

As my son is in his senior and last year in the school he will be playing in the school team against the other invited school team. My son can be considered as a jock coz he is in both the soccer and basketball school team and he will be playing in both the matches. Boy, he is gonna be so tired.

My wife and my other three kids will be there early coz there is also a carnival in the morning. The games itself will kick off at 4pm for the soccer match and 6pm for the basketball match. I think I can get there before 4pm coz all my work at the office is done and I have asked my boss’s permission to get off a bit early today (which he already approved).

Let’s hope my son team wins today and what ever happens I’ll be there to support him.

So now I’m leaving you guys with these painting by Francisco de Goya y Lucientes

”Wish us luck guys!….enjoy!

Today as I was in the living room watching TV and enjoying a nice cup of coffee suddenly I heard my third child screaming. The screaming came from the kitchen so I rushed there to find out what happened. Apparently my wife who was in the bedroom across the living room also heard the scream and ran to the kitchen as fast as she could thinking something bad had happened. As we were both in such in a hurry to get there, we apparently didn’t see each other coming. Without noticing and unable to stop we bumped hard into each other. My wife seems to be the most injured coz she fell and her leg knocks on a table next to her. I was ok and quickly helped her up.

Luckily she was not hurt except for a bruise in the leg. The funny thing was that as I was helping my wife up, me third child came and asked what happened. The both of us were really surprised and asked her the reason why she screamed in the kitchen previously. With an innocent face, she told us that she saw a cockroach and was frightened. My wife looked at me and we all started laughing while hugging each other.

After the incident I continue watching TV while finishing the cup of coffee and I told myself no one was hurt and I think we need a bigger house as the kids are getting bigger and always running around and bumping into one another. Well whether we need a bigger house or not that will be other issue but for now here’s some painting from Pablo Picasso and his biography (read my previous post)……enjoy!
