Old playground Watermelon and Mangosteen

We visited our last Old playground in 2011.
Eight of them are listed in our Project Playground.

Old Watermelon playground

If you are ever thirsty, the WaterMelon and Mangosteen at Tampines might bring the kids some fruity fun. Daddy loves the Red mosaic which blends in with the surrounding Red HDB blocks.

Kids do what they do best at a playground. Play!

Slides, Run, Hide & Seek (again?)

or Ninja Warrior?

Siblings love to follow their elder siblings. In this case, Boon Xin realised (too late) that some stunts are not suitable for smaller kids 🙁

She fell and imprinted some Mosaic shape above her left eyebrow.
Fortunately, it was nothing serious.

She recovered in time to enjoy a few more swings.

More on the vibrant Red mosaic, and the glass blocks offering peek-a-boo.

5 minutes away, a pair of Mangosteen await. Unfortunately, there are too much graffiti and school children dating their partners within the Mangosteen.

These two fruits playground are at Tampines Central Park, next to Block 858 (PO 520858).

100% Singapore 百分百新加坡 Steady Lah !

Channel U’s 100% Singapore 百分百新加坡 just completed it’s 8 episodes run.
Ch U 100% old playground

We watch every episode, and we really enjoy the documentary.
We are not saying this because we appear in one of the episodes.

It tickles our funny bone when we can identify with the “Singaporean traits” (tissue paper chope, Singlish etc)

Coffeeshop 踢球(Tak4 kiu2) and 釣魚(Diao4 her2) brought back so many fond memories.

To quote from the producers
“这是一个百分之一百非常新加坡的记录。再怎么细微的人事物,只要有一份情感价值,那就是我们的集体回忆。
每集节目会据主题,例如怀旧篇,生活篇,美食篇等等,列出约12个新加坡最具代表性、独一无二的特色,直到我们抵达100!”
