Sports Unlimited

Efficient E-Solutions had a Sports day a day after Labour Day, 2 May 09. Must be a company policy to never rest I suppose as it was a 3-day weekend break. The employees were, however, very enthusiastic about the event and they came all gung-ho-ed. There were 4 types of sports running at the same time - Badminton, Futsal (ladies & men), Netball and Bowling while Tracks was right before the Closing recemony. It was held in a conspicuous stadium in Shah Alam, Panasonic Stadium from 7am till 8pm on a Sunday.

I'd say that there were enough volunteers to run the whole show as many were in the committee t-shirts but as a photographer, there wasn't enough photographers as they only hired me alone. Kinda impossible to capture all the events running simultaneously. Can't really split myself into 4 right?

Anyway, these are my favourite shots for the event. Praise God for Yew Leong who came to fill in my void for the tracks and closing ceremony sessions in the evening.

25 July 09 update: Unfortunately, this company is a lousy pay master and the bosses kinda lack integrity as I've not been paid in full yet after 3 months. Additionally, they have requested a discount as they were not happy that I didn't manage to cover all their sports activities. Any photographer would know it's impossible to be at every event when it is running simultaneously at different locations, right? Anyway, just a word of caution if you happen to have to deal with them.

3 Oct 09 update: I finally got paid the balance with a 20% on 18 September 09. That's how bad a pay master and definitely a cheater employer Efficient E-Solutions is. Beware if you're gonna take a job with them.

This was the pre-sports day bowling session:







The registration morning - it was 730am and there was already a huge crowd of employees:



The company even have their own flag:


The futsal players had their own team supporters all around the stadium:





The netball all-girls teams were really good at the match and the referee was super strict! She kept blowing her whistle to stop the match even for the slightest movement mistake.



Ready, set, GO!



The closing ceremony had a marching band and loads of happy participants & supporters & hopefully bosses:
