1st Putrajaya Dragon Boat Race 2009

It was a super hot and sunny day when the dragon boat race took place at Putrajaya last Saturday. Sarah wore her hat almost at all times... she knew she needed to protect herself from the hot sun. :)

The racers from both local & international were getting ready for their turns...

... and the race begun... and continued... until evening that day. It must have been a very very tiring week for all participants.

As always, events like this draw crowds especially photographers!
Check out super-mom Soo Pei! One hand carry Reanne, another hand carry camera! Hehe... :)
A family of 3 with DSLRs caught hubby's attention.
Check out the 2nd pix - father, mother & son photographers! All 3 were with DSLRs. According to hubby all high-end cameras and with big big lenses! (wah!!!)

They offered free horse riding at the same venue too! And of course we seized that free ride! Sarah was a little afraid of it when I carried her up. She cried so we let Daddy carry her while Mummy enjoy the short ride. Sarah, next time okie? :)
On the other hand, dear Reanne was very brave. Check out the cool look on her face during the whole ride. Way to go, Reanne!

Haha, Danie - I believe I know what u mean. ;o)

I did thought of that too... something like - those "loud kind" are more afraid of some things than those who are of the "quiet kind" hehe...
