Today we went back to the camp ground. Today is the last day of camp and the campers show cased what they had learned at camp. The concerts was scheduled to start at 12:45pm but we went early so we could find a good spot to watch the kids performing. The stage is named “The Duke Campagna Music Shell”. In front of it there’s a lawn area where parents can sit and watch. Parents were told to bring folding chairs or picnic blankets. We did packed lunch with us and so did everyone else. The entire performance lasted about 3 hours.

Hayward La Honda Music Camp
25Jul10“The Hayward La-Honda Music Camp is organized to challenge students in a variety of creative pursuits and is devoted to the development of musicianship for students grades 6-12. This is accomplished through a program of study, concentrated rehearsal, performance, recreation and general camp life.” That’s a quote from the music camp’s own web site (http://www.lahondamusiccamp.org/). My daughter, however, was not going to this music camp only for the music developmental purpose. She wanted to go to have fun and to enjoy meeting new friends. She was looking forward to the other extra activities around camp, such as, horse back riding, zip lining, kayaking, etc.
Tahiti Fete 2010
06Jul1011343
4th of July weekend was, once again, Tahiti Fete week (http://www.tahitifete.com). My daughter’s halau (Merahi O Tehani) participated in tamarii (children) division for group competition. Some dancers also competed in solo competition. We did not win any medal this time, but those kids did excellent. Their hard work in months of tireless practises really showed during competition.

Badminton, an old favorite sport
11Oct09Badminton is a world sport that is very popular in Asia and Europe. I used to be a nationally ranked junior player of Indonesia. I used to love the game and played it a lot until about 1990. I had not played the game since until just this morning.

We were invited to a birthday party at ‘City Beach‘ in Fremont. I did not expect a badminton court and was ready with my basketball gears. Once we were there, we saw not one, but two badminton courts, ready and very inviting. I could not wait. My girls played with me. It was their first time and obviously it’s a little frustrating for them (learning it). In the end, we had a lot of fun though.

Sailing for a day
13May08
My group at work (Adobe Systems) went for sailing on Redwood Shores. We rented the sailing boats from Spinnaker Sailing School. There’s a sailing instructor that comes on the boat with us. We spent about 4 hours on the water with the instructor guiding us and giving us the basics of sailing. This was a wonderful experience, if you have not ever tried it, you should.
We have pictures from the outing though they are not my own. Pictures are taken by my collagues.
