Marina Bay is our playground

Loving Marina Bay is a month long event to celebrate Marina Bay’s events and transformation through twenty amBayssadors. We are the photographers and bloggers who have captured some fragments of Marina Bay’s memories

SengkangBabies is honoured to be one of Marina Bay’s amBAYssadors.

From this tag cloud, you know Marina Bay is always happening for us ! From GardensByTheBay, MarinaBarrage, to MBS and Merlion fireworks, our kids have covered so much milage around Marina Bay (POSB, ColdStorage Kids Run and Maybank). When Singapore Army brings their toys to Marina Bay, we never miss the lighlights like AOH and NDP mobile columns !

Our long history with Marina Bay..

Now, try to imagine why we have problems picking our best experiences at Marina Bay?

Back to last Sat’s Loving Marina Bay event. It was an opportunity to catch up with old buddies, and make new friends. You can find out who else is featured at this link.

Daddy’s favourite photo is Andrew Ng’s Funfair and..

Kelvin‘s rockstar son, Ayden !!

Slideshow of the other amBAYssadors. Each entry offers more jaw-dropping photos and perspectives. Daddy is really humbled that our blog is featured πŸ™‚

SengkangBabies’ photo compilation are from “wishing spheres“, “Merlion Hotel“, “Gardens Skywalk” and “Barrage soccer“.

We would be equally proud if any of the photos below are shortlisted πŸ™‚

In 2013, we hope to get tickets to F1 and NDP parade (four years without tickets), and that should add to our to-do lists in Marina Bay πŸ™‚

Loving Marina Bay‘s photos displays are not only about modern MarinaBaySands or GardensByTheBay. It is also tracing the history from old Clifford pier. Hey, when we mention Marina in the 80s and 90s, it was referring to Marina Square and not Marina Bay πŸ™‚

This is one of the better videos to see how Marina Bay has transformed.

We are familiar with the Merlion, Flyer, Helix bridge, MBS and Esplanade, but Daddy thought the unassuming “The Float” was actually the platform which brought big scale events to the Bay. With NDP, New Year countdowns, RiverHongbao or F1 races, we can always spot the Yellow/Blue/Red/Green rows of seats. Build to “temporary” host events with the demise of National Stadium, The float has become a central point of events.

If the iconic buildings are the organs of Marina Bay, then the people and events will be it’s lifeblood. Marina Bay is the place to be seen, or to soak in the atmosphere.

Andy is a proud father of four, and he calls his kids the ambassadors of Fun. He started his family blog to dispel the myth that Singapore is boring and to document his kids’ childhood. Kids’ growing milestones bring his family a great deal of pride and fond memories and he hopes to share their joy with more families via SengkangBabies. The family is honoured to be Marina Bay’s amBAYssadors as it happens to be one of their favourite playgrounds. There are so many activities for everyone from three to eighty years old!

With the quote above, Daddy is telling more people to pop by Marina Bay with friends and families. A few events have been lined up to engage the public :

– photography workshops and competition
– heritage walks and more

ps.. we wanted to surprise the kids, so we did not tell them about our “poster and booth”. SengkangBabies are now mini celebrities at Marina Bay :p

Our family album

We talked about our Singtel’s Home Without Wall scrapbook earlier. Our memories are now printed into a hardcopy scrapbook πŸ™‚

Mummy has done all the hardwork to compile our memories into our scrapbook.

Kids cannot contain their excitement over their own photos πŸ™‚

The small ones will be wondering why they “miss out” certain events?
Why Daddy never take photos for them.

Daddy told Yi and Xin they have not been born yet, silly :p

To cut a long story short :
1. We engage a story-writer to draft our growing up story
2. We select the photos, shortlist, and select more photos again. Too many to choose πŸ™‚
3. Mummy paste the photos according to our themes in Step 1.

You know SengkangBabies is our blog, our virtual diary.
Now, Singtel has printed our story into a heartwarming storybook.

~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~
Home Without Walls by SingTel celebrates the amazing connections we make every day that defines and build this world we call home. While each story gathered here is unique, we hope to show that beyond obvious differences, we are all connected by the dreams and aspirations we share.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~

Daddy is confident our family album has just met Home Without Wall‘s vision, we love our amazing album πŸ™‚

For our fans, friends, and readers THANK YOU !
We would not have come so far without your endearing support and LOVe πŸ™‚

cheers,
SengkangBabies

ps.. kids grow up very fast, take more photos :p
