Tanglin Mall is snowing

The shopping Malls along Orchard road will be lightup with festive decorations and lightings to welcome Christmas annually. We also know Tanglin Mall is the most happening snow party in town! When we play with foam snow in 2009, Boon Xin was only 5 months old.

Boon Xin is trying to tell you Tanglin Mall is happening before Christmas 🙂

From now till 01Jan 2012, Tanglin Mall is greeting kids (and adults) with Snow. It is really foam, but who cares :p

Weekday – 7:30pm and Weekend – 7:30pm and 8:30pm (two sessions).

Actually 7.30pm is 15min of Avalanche (read hugh dose of foam!), and 7:45pm is Snow.

Kids start gathering at 7pm, in anticipation of Fun.

Then suddenly, you hear kids screaming in delight. The foam party has started. To get the best photos, parents need to dive deep into the thick of action. At the center of the Avalanche !

Be careful of smaller kids, as it could be dangerous if they slip and fall.

Whatever caught Kang’s attention. You know he is in a world of his own, Snow world 🙂

Look at how Wei and Yi apply shampoo for themselves !

Boon Xin was initially apprehensive. The hugh crowd and foam could have spook her. It does not help that her bros were so “helpful” scooping soap into her hair and face! Daddy need to bring her around to orientate her. After she warms up…

Video : Watch this video for some fantastic Snow adventure!

Camera might be slightly damn from the snow flakes, but these Fun expressions are totally worth it !

Boon Yee must be thinking, “If only this is real snow” 🙂

Shoes, forgotten.

Are your kids in the mood for some Snow fun after reading our adventure?
Read our Tanglin Snow adventure in 2009 or browse more cool photos in our fanpage album 🙂

More tips :
– we found kids in swimwear (and goggles!), and rain coats. Just wear something comfortable.
– There is washup corner after all the fun, parents just need to bring a towel and spare clothes along.

Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden is Five !

Jacob Ballas is 5 ! Singapore’s Children’s Garden has always been popular with parents and teachers. To celebrate it’s birthday, the whole garden was turn into a fun-filled carnival, with proceeds going into a fundraising pot.

Wow, we saw trains in the park, and kids are in hyper mode 🙂

Video : Carnival activities, the boat and train are popular

Look at the cheeky kids, Boon Yee and Xin tried to ram Daddy with their giraffe !

Some of the supporting vendors and brands are : Forum the Shopping Mall (information counter), Hard Rock Café, Julia Gabriel Centre, Chengzhu Mandarin Centre (Rochester Mall), Kids 21, The Marmalade Pantry(@ the City, Ion Orchard and @ the Stables, 55 Fairways drive), Oriole Café and Bar.

Kids just need to know a lot of food and games await them! So many families pop by to support the event (no wonder carpark space became a big headache haha)

Cousins big and small 🙂

Beside the usual attraction like the bouncing bridge, we found angry bird catapult too ! No real birds were used as ammunition.

Tree house. This is one of the must-try at Jacob Ballas, the other would be the water feature 🙂

We maximise our coupon to buy more snacks and tidbits. No thanks candy floss, too sweet for Daddy.

Wow, bouncing castle right in the center of the garden ! Unfortunately, we had to skip this due to the long queue.

More stalls providing games and food.

The whole garden is a big carnival, weather was pretty warm but the shades kept us cool.

Otherwise, the pirate boat should chill us up haha. Boon Yi got the same expression from Legoland haha.

Daddy ask them afterward whether they like to be pirates, both Yi and Xin request for second round !

Although the water feature was not available for the weekend, no one was complaining. There was a train track instead !

Choo Choo ! The smiles on their faces made it all worthwhile 🙂

Kids got to display their new percussion skill at the sand pit.

Time to look after our tummies. We finish up our coupon with more food.

That was how we spend our morning two Sats ago 🙂

We would like to take the opportunity to HI-5 Jacob Ballas for the invitation. Our kids enjoyed their garden outing again and the carnival atmosphere was fantastic. You might be interested to find out how the Wacky Duo brothers enjoy Jacob Ballas.

More photos are up at our fanpage album. Everything about Jacob Ballas can be found at their website.

** Please take note Jacob Balls is free, but adults can only enter the secret garden with an accompanying child :p
