When it rains at the Singapore Zoo

Most of us have been to the zoo before, but Daddy had another take last week.
He has volunteered his photography services to accompany two Primary 1 classes.

What he did not expect is RAIN would accompany us for half of the journey.
Look at the colourful umbrellas and raincoats, believe Daddy when he say morale was high among the kids. Afterall, not many parents would be keen to bring their kids sight seeing on a wet rainy day.




Daddy did not notice the exhibits come with braille for the visually handicap.

Rain or Shine, the children stayed inquisitive and curious.

Cute Ah-Meng Raincoats on sale

We took shelter under the Rainforest canopy, and we learn new things about our fragile ecosystem.


Yeah, the sun finally pops up to warm us up. Kudos to the kids, most of them were sported with wet hair, but Daddy did not hear anybody complains !

Some other animal exhibits. The beasts must be wondering which school send their children in the rain to visit the animals :p




The eerie naked mole rat arouses kids’ eeeks and yucks haha. We can even peep at the rats through custom build periscope !


Daddy is really grateful to accompany the kids on their adventures today. Initially, they were curious about that tall Uncle who keep taking photos under his umbrella. But after they warm up to Uncle Andy, everyone were so obliging for their Kodak moments πŸ™‚

As this is a learning excursion, kids have to complete their homework and talk about their outdoor class today. Daddy is not expecting anyone to say “No”, unless he or she wants to skip assignment :p

Singapore Blog Awards 2012


This is the third time Sengkang Babies are participating in Omy’s Singapore Blog Awards. The kids have grown along the way, we get to know more friends online and offline, and some have become kakis !

Friends (big and small ones) will always meet and catchup at events, to share fun places, even blogging and photography tips.

Sengkang Babies got some new features in 2012 :
– we started a Fanpage to share more photos.
– we got a little more chatty on Twitter and even dabble with pInterest.
SengkangBabies.com got our own domain now


Some things have not changed. The number of Daddy bloggers are still so few. Let Daddy highlight a few old/new Dads who are regulars online. Daddy bloggers motivate SengkangBabies to blog better and share more πŸ™‚

Ok, Daddy has talked so much, if are you still not convinced about joining Omy Blog Award already, they are dangling $30,000 worth of carrot to tempt you, and a Macau trip. Drop by sgBlogawards.omy.sg for more details.

Do not be surprised if you see Sengkang Babies appearing in non-Family categories :p

Parenting bloggers normally bring up the fun and happy moments, but believe us, looking after the kids is never easy. We may make it look easy, maybe because we are so use and numb to handling our kiddos by now haha :p

Visit our previous year experiences in 2010 and 2011.
We would like to thanks our friends (Xin Yun and Rui Ting) for nominating us, much appreciated πŸ™‚

Kids are still teaching us adults to learn and appreciate simple things everyday !
If not for the kids, Daddy would not have discover photography and blogging.
Remember SengkangBabies, remember our motto “We bring you fun !
