Happy Valentine’s Day Darling

[Advertorial]

14th Feb is approaching again. Happy Valentine’s Day, Darling Mummy.

We overheard Daddy whispering “kiss, love, sweet, I Love you” softly to Mummy. We always ask Daddy “What is Darling, why Honey, who is your Lover (情人), the kisses and smooches?”

Daddy and Mummy always smile and tell us “when you grow up…bla bla bla”

Daddy always say he is not stingy and he is a romantic, but Mummy is pragmatic. Both are contented with each other’s company.

It would be romantic If Daddy can host Mummy to a candlelight dinner or watch a midnight show, but Mummy will always prefer a simple meal over a gift.

When Humming Flowers & Gifts invited us to profess our Valentine’s Day wishes, Daddy immediately agree. Daddy thought it was an opportunity to declare his Love for Mummy again.

Anyway, our bouquet is Sweetness Ahead. Besides the usual Roses, Tulips and Gerberas, something caught our eyes. If flowers cannot melt your darling’s heart, six tins of sweet candies will (甜甜蜜蜜)!

As we pose with the flowers and smell the sweet roses, kids got impatient!
They are waiting to unpack the heart shape candies.

Or maybe kids are jealous, why is Daddy kissing Mummy again? There is always a lot of lightbulbs (电灯泡) in our house, and kids will always disrupt Daddy and Mummy from taking a couple portrait.

Daddy make it corny simple for kids to understand.
“Daddy love Mummy and Mummy kiss Daddy, then the Babies came out one by one.” Daddy say something about kids are Labour of Love 🙂

Thank you Humming, for your Valentine’s Day bouquet 🙂
Although SengkangBabies’ Valentine’s Day celebration is not as Romantic, we certainly make up for it with more laughter and family fun.

To our friends out there, may your Valentine’s day be as sweet as ours, 情人节快乐 🙂

Spring Blossoms at Gardens by the Bay

What does Spring (春天) brings to mind? Daddy thought Spring always symbolise Life, a new Beginning, and blooming Flowers.

Marina Bay’s amBAYssadors were invited to explore Gardens by the Bay (GBTB)’s Spring Celebrations, and also a special Lo Hei (撈鱼生) at Majestic Bay Seafood Restaurant.

We started our tour, by visiting the Garden’s sculptures. We all know the famous Conservatories (Flower Dome and Cloud Forest), Supertrees but there are pockets of little gardens and landscaping dotting GardensByTheBay. Some sculptures look differently when viewed from another angle.

Someone commented Merrill Lynch’s Bull is very verile, is it any coincidence the Bull is placed at GBTB’s Bull-Ring?

At Heritage Gardens, you can find Elephants, Rabbit, Stones (in their natural state), and Malay Kampong style house.

Kenneth Er (Gardens COO) told us that Buddha and Bodhi tree placement reflect Buddha’s journey from India to China. He also shared why some Elephants are missing ear-lobes (souvenirs).

Then we came across this hugh Baby. His name is Planet, and his Daddy is Marc Quinn. All 7 tons of Planet is resting on one hand, breakdancing?

From certain angle, Daddy is amused that Planet looks like Humty Dumty falling off Marina Bay Sands.

GBTB has fenced up baby Planet, in case some Singaporeans decide to heed our Government’s baby bonus initiative and rub the baby.

The highlight of our tour is Flower Dome’s Spring celebrations.

Flower scent hits our nose when we step into the Dome. More details about Gardens’ Spring Celebrations here.

2013 is the year of the Chinese Zodiac Snake. How many KumQuat (金橘) snakes can you count?

Every corner we turn, fragrance greets out nose. Take a deep breath.

We saw many couples romancing under the hut, surrounded by an explosion of colours.

These are some of the other festive flowers around Flower Dome (click for the names). 春天来了, Spring is here.


We always remember the 1000 years old BottleTree (baobab) in Flower Dome, but did you know about the 500 years old Camellia tree? Also known in Japan as “Roses of Winter”, this grand old lady is still blooming.

We end the evening with Lo Hei at Gardens by the Bay’s Seafood restaurant Majestic Bay. With Flowers blooming and yuSheng, we shall welcome the Snake year together.

We would like to Thanks GardensByTheBay for the invitation, and it was nice to catch up with fellow amBayssadors again.
