F1 night race is coming to Singapore again 21-23Sep. We would like our fans to know about Singapore’s latest F1 crew, Team SengkangBabies :p
Last Sun, Daddy brought the kids to Jurong for a Singtel-F1 roadshow. The highlight of the show is the electric kart. We heard the fastest three timings over the weekend would get a pair of F1 tickets. Alas, we are neither Fast nor Furious 🙁
But we did have so much Fun, dressing up, cruising along. Redbull might consider signing our kids up for their youth league.
Wei has a lot of hands-on on Wii’s Mario Kart, and he look competent. Look at him manoeuvre his kart around the apex. Did you know when Daddy play Wii with Wei and Kang, he always end up third?
Fringe activities at the roadshow includes modeling, and dog walk (the doggie belong to another participant)
Kang is still not tall enough for the kart. Maybe next year. We hope F1 night race will still be running after 2014.
If all goes well and we secure the contract, our team will be supplying the crew for Singtel’s F1 night race. The whole package will include :
– Driver
– Pitcrew
We sweeten the deal by adding Xin as Singtel Grid little-girl. (Daddy is daydreaming about F1 fame haha)
Presenting Team Sengkang-Babies. Look at our crew, so cute they are winners even before they touch the track gravel.
We got on the podium, Daddy say he wanted to shake some “champange”?

We are trying our luck, but do you think Boon Xin can be a Singtel Grid girl? Her charisma rocks !
Rock climbing is not only about strength, it is about body-coordination. You need to look forward and plan your next grip. Ensure three points on the wall at any one time to avoid losing your balance. Does it sounds like growing up in society and facing our own life challenges?
Kang ascending the peak in style ! Our peak belongs to The Rock School at Bedok CC.
While goggling “Rock climbing”, Daddy came across a new term “free soloing”. Let Alex Honnold show you what is No-Sweat !! No gear, no rope, only mind powder and sheer belief !
=== === Quoting from the Rock-team :
We believe that, in a safe and fun environment as well as with the right guidance,
kids and youths could easily reap the benefits of rock-climbing. This includes bringing up their general fitness level and, more importantly, building up their character as they
overcome challenges conquering a wall several times their height.
What’s more, with our free parent-child climbs, kids and their parents may strengthen both bodies and family at the same time too !
=== ===
Climbing in a single file, that’s what they do at K2 summit too !
Our coach play “Shark’ with us, and jokes with us, to calm us down. Not many people climb walls before, and kids come with mixed expectations. Eager, excited and nervous.
After a few warm-up rounds, they now feel confident. Even the new obstacles (like hoola hoops) cannot deter kids’ enthusiasm.
Warning, jumping is not endorsed by Rock School, Daddy has to remind Kang not to jump too frequently !
Different colour codings to indicate the level of difficulty.
If you are confident, buckle up your harness. We are going for the real deal !
No uTurn. Kids face up to a 7m tall wall, conquer your fears keke.
One more round of safety briefing, when it comes to safety, Rock School takes nothing for granted.
And off they go. Climbing can be physically strenuous, but do not forget to have fun ! Yes, even when you fall and dangles in mid-air, remember to smile for Daddy’s camera :p
Actually, Daddy does not mind cliff-hanging with the kids. Kids will complain tired, “can I come down now?”, but when they reach the peak, their smiles say it all !
I DID IT !!
Did you know the most difficult task is coming down? Kids need to let go of their HANDS and let the coach glide/walk them down the cliff. Not easy 🙂
Anyway, Kids get a stamp for each conquered peak. They challenge each other to reach the top.
Punishing Fun Rock climbing is now available at Bedok CC.
Looking at the Tall Rock wall, parents would find it challenging too !
Kudos to kids for forging a path ahead, and conquering their own fear.
We recommend that you pop by Mummy Angeline‘s blog to see how her two boys cope 🙂
On 21.22 July, a big Rock awaits families at Bedok CC. Rock climbing is not for boys only, the fastest climber was an Indian gal 🙂 You can register at http://therockschool.sg/trcc/ now.
