Poolside Party 1999

Our annual BBQ party was held at the swimming pool at DBS on 9/5 this year. As in the two previous parties, this one was also postponed once, from 8/29, due to wet weather. Slight drizzle greeted the early comers and kept most other participants from arriving early. In all, 29 adults brought 22 children to the party. When the sun finally emerged after 2 p.m. the watermelon eating contest was held before two other swimming races.

There were 18 contestants (10 children and 8 adults) who swallowed the 4 watermelon in less than 4 minutes. Rudy Chan who confessed afterwards that he did not "eat" any melon was the one who seemingly "consumed" his slice faster than anyone else. Due to the limited time available, 3 relay teams of 4 children and 2 adults each were quickly formed and competed in the 6 by 25 meter relay. That was followed by the individual 50 meter open challenge for children. All the children in the 3 relay teams and the top three finishers in the open challenge were all awarded a medal. Even though the wet weather might had dampened the turnout, it could not dampen our spirit. A jolly good time was shared by all who braved the wet weather that Sunday. Last but not least, my sincerest thanks to Nigel Cheng (78) who practically spent all his time there tending the grill to feed the rest of us.
