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

Hokey Pokey Fun !

[Review]

When Yi plays with such glee, you know something is happening for the kids. We were invited to Suntec City’s new playground, Hokey Pokey.

Just look at this cool castle. Daddy had dream of his own castle since young, now the kids get to live in their own fort !

To quote from the five mummies/owners of Hokey Pokey :
an educational and fun haven where mommies and daddies can bring their little kiddos to with a peace of mind. Safety and hygiene is our utmost concern and they will never be compromised. After all, we, ourselves are our biggest critic.

Follow Boon Xin as she shows you how to have FUN !

..oops.. she decided to go for a makeover first. The dressing table proves too irresistible for little gals. (Daddy is curious why Xin knows how to apply lipstick ?)

Yi decides to show his metrosexual side but he could not find the ingredients. Maybe Hokey Pokey management can prepare some chef’s hat for the kids πŸ™‚

Look at how they roll up and down the slope. If no one is looking,
Daddy is tempted to try this too….

Cars, Bikes, Lorries and fire engines will cater to the kids’ adrenalin.

Kids can indulge in some jamming session at another corner. Xin loves the little piano.

Anyone interested to be sim-city mayor? or take a helicopter ride, let kiddos’ imagination roam.

Yi and Xin also got an opportunity to create a cute ducky photo frame too. Both of them were so enthusiastic and proud about pasting their own design pieces πŸ™‚

While they are getting busy, Daddy pop around to explore Hokey Pokey, which is like a Toys’ supermarket !

Kids will be thrilled if Mummy say she is going to abandon them for 2 to 3 hours keke.

Do you know which is the kids’ favourite section ?

As long as kids are having fun (and safe), Daddy does not mind how they slide down ! (maybe Mummies will disagree haha)

We has so much fun, playing hamtum-bola (ball whacking)..

.. and someone taught Xin levitation :p

Who brought out the bubbles ! Everyone scramble to the front for some bubble Fun πŸ™‚

Time flies, when kids are having fun. We can easily spend fours hours at Hokey Pokey.

Daddy is sure Wacky Duo will agree with us, do pop by their review πŸ™‚

Although Kazae invited us to the party, he was denied entry into the castle keke.

Wholesome Fun (for kids under six)

Hokey Pokey only got one BIG problem, Kids do not want to go home haha !!

We would like to thanks Hokey Pokey and Marina Bay (Kazae) for the invite, we sure had fun running around and playing with all the toys.
For more Hokey Pokey fun photos, do pop by our fanpage.

We will recommend that you contact Hokey Pokey before going down,
just in case there is an event.
