Candle Night 2012

Who say candlelight is only for Romantics?
We were there at Merlion Park in 2011 and enjoy the candlelight ambience.

Candle Night 2012 happened last Sat, we met Tan family and Hong Peng again (same like 2011).

Our family enjoy the tour, watching the Merlion and the Mid-Autumn moon. It was also an event to celebrate Merlion’s 40th birthday.

Kids can diy their own lanterns, or draw some cartoons. Participants were invited to bring their lanterns too. MidAutumn celebration would be bland without mooncakes, lanterns or sparklers :p

The Merlion with it’s spray, and the boats are always a welcome distraction πŸ™‚

When it turns dark, we light up our lanterns. This is the highlight for the kids.

We slowly make our way one along Merlion Park, and look at the other lighting installations.

In case this is your first visit to our blog, we wish to share more activities around Marina Bay.

Philips ‘+’ Project hopes to Improve our lives

Have you ever feel strongly about something close to your heart.
It can be thinking about how we can improve our lives, make things better, or simply put a smile on someone else.

Daddy is talking about Philip’s “+” Project, an initiative to ask Singaporeans to touch our hearts and ask “What Matters”, and do something about it.

To quote from Philips “+” Project :
~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~
The β€˜+’ Project by Philips underlines our commitment to improve the quality of people’s lives in Asia Pacific. Through the β€˜+’ project, we aim to work together with you, your community and other stakeholders, combining insights with expertise, technology with funding to face these challenges and make a real difference to the quality of lives of you and your loved ones. We call this meaningful innovation.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~

Look around us, can we make something better? Philips have shortlisted a few ideas to pick our brain. What matters to us? Is it our family, friends, community and loved ones?

–> You might be interested in some of the research spinning off the themes, or maybe the survey results.

How does the survey works? . ..(Daddy forgot to mention the $10,000 carrot)

One of the “Parenting and Family” questions, was about breastfeeding support in Singapore. Daddy was motivated to talk about breastfeeding and husband’s role.

The husbands can definitely do more than washing milk bottles, and EPL can wait:p
