My boys love the cowboy show, Magnificent Seven

[ Media Invite ]

Be it the simmering tension before a gunfight showdown or the duels between good and bad, cowboy show is always packed with excitement.

And no one really wish to dare Denzel Washington to a gunfight.

What makes the show more awesome is a total of seven outlaws trying to upright Justice for a small town.

We caught Magnificent Seven at FilmGarde (Bugis+) yesterday, and this was the boys’ first cowboy show.

They enjoyed the show, the cowboys’ hat, horseback, and the swiftness in which they draw their guns (or sometimes daggers).

Are all cowboy heroes sharpshooters?

But I hope the kids pick up a few teachable moments along the way too.

Righteousness and Justice (ζ­£δΉ‰), do not let people tell you Might is Right.
We need to stand by our principles, and protect the weak.
Fight for our own believes.
As usual, good will always triumph over the evil.

It was a bit crazy for the Magnificant Seven to mobilize the farmers (with pitchforks too!) against seasoned mercenaries. Somehow the seven oddball characters managed to team up and repel the bad guys.

I know my boys (and maybe girl) will play-pretend cowboys when they next grab their nerfguns, will it be Magnificent Four or Five for SengkangBabies πŸ™‚

(L to R, Assassin Billy Rocks, Mexican outlaw Vasquez, sharpshooter Goodnight Robicheaux, bounty hunter Sam Chisolm, gambler Josh Faraday, tracker Jack Horne, and Comanche warrior Red Harvest).

Who is your fave character?

Speedminton was new to us, combine Badminton and Tennis and you get Speedminton. To add to the confusion, you have a squash racket haha πŸ™‚

At one corner, Milo truck was always popular with SportsHub PlayDay participants, younger children might enjoy some sand art.

Watching Basketball team Slingers in action, we did not stay late enough to meet Lions (after 3pm).

Frisbee is easy to pickup, just throw and grip.

A lot of folks wish to clock their steps, we heard HPB has an interesting Step Challenge campaign.

We participated in another steps challenge, “Fun Steppers” sounds harmless and suitable for family, but after going up and down a few flight of stairs, you do feel your calves going numb πŸ™‚

I thought it was a bit challenging to leave our “foot steps” around the stadium. Fortunately, we only need to cover one third of the stadium, which is still an intimidating 2088 steps.

Wei accompany me by climbing half the steps (1000 plus) before dropping off. The smaller ones ran “horizontally” after a few flight of steps!

An interesting experience for all πŸ™‚

I am the only representative for SengkangBabies, there are medals and tShirt for finishers. FitBit went crazy charting the vertical route.

Anyone in the mood for a 100m dash? This is not part of SportsHub PlayDay, but kids always love to dash on the colourful track.
