Wee Teck, just returned to running and is slashing his timings in every race

(Just received this pic taken by Ming Ham, nearly all the masters from SMTFA taking part on 27/7/19 were in the pic.)


This is a tribute to all the masters that made it to this meet. Of course there were many more but these few happened to run into my camera lens. I was unable to take too often when I was also running. Very difficult to worry about my camera in my bag unattended. Risk this time to try out some shots.



























Pesta Sukan - SMTFA masters in full force

I have taken quite a number of pictures yesterday on the masters participating in this year's Pesta Sukan. SMTFA was there in full force, running, jumping and throwing, in practically every event available. I will post the pictures in batches over the next few days. Here are some of the actions that took place yesterday.
