Featured on URA’s Going Places

Daddy first came across URA’s GoingPlaces publication in 2012. GoingPlaces is an online magazine which shares the Fun and Happening corners in Singapore.

Daddy had written to URA, requesting to feature more family friendly venues. Parents are a good source of “Fun playgrounds”, and we hope to convince more families that Singapore is not boring. Daddy even blog about SG-Not-Boring before.

Do pop by “More Stuffs” section, Singapore is small but there are always things to discover ๐Ÿ™‚

If parents run out of ideas, just bring our young kids out on a no-itinerary Saturday morning. Let the kids lead us to Fun! Every single piece of green, little pond, and even the blue sky are ingredients for FUN!.

*** If you need further evidence, pop by our “Places of Interest” tab, we are still digging out more Fun places from Singapore (+ surrounding islands Ubin, Semakau).

Fast forward 2013 Mar, Going Places got back to us, and invited parenting-bloggers to showcase some “unusual, uncommon” playgrounds in Singapore ๐Ÿ™‚

Smart Kids Asia activities

We pop by Smart Kids Asia last week. The organiser mentioned it is the World’s largest educational kids’ fair. The event is split into three general themes “Smart Edu”, “Smart Health” and “Smart Family”. Click for more info.

Held at Expo Hall 5, from enrichment to sports, we dabble in everything, just for Fun ๐Ÿ™‚
Kids can enrol in all sorts of classes and activities, just to see which one they prefer.

Boating, rock climbing, bouncing castle and even cross-country biking. The amount of activities is dazzling.

Our kids are crazy about balls, be it soccer or basketball, or even Zorb !

Wei and Yi partnering each other to bang into the other “zorb” ball ! It was fun for us to cheer from the side too.

Video : Zorb ball fun.

Among the Fun and Enrichment classes, KindsVille reminded kids to be courteous and gracious.

The exhibitors are so generous, keep on stuffing freebies or food to our kids.

We learn how to eliminate dengue threat too, through some cool CGI shooting. A happy and healthy family, always start from our own home.

The coolest thing about kids-events must be the roaming characters. We had fun posing with them ๐Ÿ™‚ Too bad we miss Garfield, Dora, Mutant Ninjas and SpongeBob, which only occur on Sat and Sun.

Sports council taught us how to improve our motor-skills, correctly. How do we walk, bend, throw, the Basics.

Then we upgrade to some slick Gymnasts twist and turn wow. Daddy did not know our kids are such fast learners !

The finale for us must be dancing with Mr Skippy. Yi and Xin enjoy their little dance routines ๐Ÿ™‚

Daddy and Mummy could not cover all the booths, but we like the way SmartKidsAsia brings every one under one roof. It is really a one-stop hub for everything whichย child needs ๐Ÿ™‚

We would like to thanks the management of SmartKidsAsia for the tour. For more details and photos, pop by :
