uPicnic photos

uPicnic, we picnicked, we join hundreds other families at Marina Barrage Rooftop last Sat. We had blogged about uFamilys’ Picnic two weeks back.

The carpark was full when we arrive, so many happy families ! From babies to grandparents, everyone is participating. Unfortunately, Mummy was going to meet her secondary schoolmates, and could not join us.

We bump into Kelvin (CheekieMonkie) and Ai (Sakura), but Daddy could not look for more friends, as he is worried the kids will start playing “hide and seek” !

We did enjoyed ourselves, indulging in bubbles and snacks. The weather was splendid, ideal for family outings 🙂

Talking about food, Daddy thought he could get fried rice or some fries at the venue. Fortunately, Kelvin sponsored some sandwiches for us.

Meanwhile, Boon Xin and Boon Yi got chatty with their picnic neighbours. Before you can greet “Hello“, our kids were helping themselves to their new-friends’ picnic basket ! Daddy noticed their snacks even upsize from “peas to prawn crackers” !

Our kids are definitely not Shy haha, thank you neighbours 🙂

There are other activities like face painting, balloon sculpting, but we stick with bubbles. Actually Daddy could not afford to bring four kids to venture around, or queue up :p

Who do not like Bubbles ? (Read our bubbles stories bubbles1, bubbles2)

The revelers “party” till the sun set, and went on to set a Singapore record.
Everyone had to do a “U” and stay motionless for one minute.

Did we have Fun with outdoor picnic? uBet !

We would like to thanks the team from uFamily and MNC for inviting us to the picnic 🙂

Video : We even participated in a Singapore Record to garner “the Most Number of Freeze”.

The day when Robinson Road became a warzone

24 hours earlier, something bad has happened to Singapore.

We heard something unprecedented has occurred along Robinson road, taxi’s exploding sounds were echoed down the street.

Something is very wrong, we saw soldiers and Terrex Infantry Fighting vehicles (IFV)securing Robinson road !

Dead people and debris everywhere. Seems like certain building has been blown up and we see office items littered along the streets. God knows where else Singapore has been bombed !

Singapore is under attack ! Singapore is at War !


Then we saw Jack Neo’s smiling face, there is a Big Relief. This is his latest movie, and our hotshot director has converted Robinson Road into a warzone !!

We are on the movie set of Jack Neo’s latest movie “From Ah Boys to Men” (新兵正传). The story is about how boys become men in the army.

Dedicated crew and team, makes all the difference, and we witness first hand how everybody pull together to make filming ticks. Actors, carafare, filming and logistics crew, everyone put in their professional contribution.

Daddy is amazed at the minute details, nothing is left to chance. Coincidentally, the bus-shelter poster was advertising another war movie, Sylvester Stallone’s “Expendables 2”.

Our familiar Robinson road was turn upside down, littered with burning Taxis and casualties. Did you know jTeam took three months to secure Robinson Road’s lockdown, negotiating with different statboards and building owners !

We hope reel-life will never become real-life for Robinson road.
Some of us are parents and we have dependents, how will Singapore respond when faced with imminent threats? Will we run or stay?

All the bloggers agree that this was a once in a lifetime experience. Most of us have not been on a film set before, not to mention a fighting warzone !

In case you are interested, 24hours of preparation will only be 3 minutes of reel time !

This video clip offers a sneakpeak of what went on along Robinson Road on 19Aug.

More warzone photos can be found at SengkangBabies Warpage and Daddy is recommending you to read our fellow war correspondents’ field reports :p
