My niece Jill Avie was selected by the Ministry of Youth & Sports (Sabah) to represent Sandakan to attend this year's Sports Camp for gymnastic, held between 9 -11 October 2009 at the Likas Sports Complex. At just 6 years old, she's the youngest participant there. There were other participants from other parts of the state taking part in other sports eg basketball, taekwando etc.
Her elder brother was so jealous that Avie was selected he told her stories of the hostel where she'll be staying is haunted. She cried and told her coach that if her "Auntie Yummy yummy" can't come to see her in the hostel, then she's not attending the camp. So, I had to step in to give a little pep talk to Adam over the phone and meet up with Avie over the 3 days of the camp to make sure she's alright. She was great throughout!

She may be the youngest, but she was the team leader! Avie leading her group back into the hall after completing 1 outdoor task. Notice how she can delegate... everyone else is holding on to something to bring back into the hall, and she just smiles in front of the line!
Back inside the hall. Lining up for the next activity... cartwheels. I also had to do these for gym class when I was like.... 9 - 11 years old!
Her shoes fell apart.... so we had to go out and buy her new shoes, and matching socks!
The high bars.
