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！”

Personally, Daddy like these three episodes :
Episode 1 – 怀旧篇 (Nostalgia) – playgrounds and biscuits
Episode 4 – 自然 (Nature) – Pulau Semakau, Bidadari !
Episode 6 – 饮食篇 (Food) – Hawker centres, yummy Chicken Rice, Laksa 🙂

Tonight 8pm, catch us and Cheekiemonkies with our playgrounds on Channel U.

Channel U’s 100% Singapore (百分百新加坡) talks about 100 unique Singaporean traits in 8 episodes. Read our Teaser post.

The parents will be sharing their own childhood memories. Something like these old photos from Daddy’s childhood playground. He grew up with the Seal at Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 Block 134.

In the 80s, kids loved to climb up the seal’s head !

It was easy for the kids from our families to mingle and play catching once the producer says “Go”. Our kids love all types of playgrounds old and new 🙂

And that was how we spend one Saturday morning in July.

Back to the cast, Ayd is our host with many talents, always full of expressions and gestures when doing interviews 🙂

.. and so Cheekiemonkies and SengkangBabies slide, swing, run and conquer the Seal at Dakota.

In between filming, kids had time for some exercise. We just hope their laughter did not wake up the quiet neighbourhood.

Next stop, Elephant at Pasir Ris. We visited this playground early 2011.

Again, kids start to do what they do best, ie PLAY. They know the playground is all theirs today 🙂

No need for any choreography, no need to shout “Camera Action!”.

After all the filming, a little treat is warranted. The kids are now friends with the filming crew’s big brothers and sisters 🙂

See you Channel U tonight at 8pm, our kids are excited 🙂

Thank you Channel U, for giving us an opportunity to share our Fun activities and nostalgic memories. Sengkang Babies blog is a platform to encourage more families to enjoy Family time.

Playgrounds old or new does not matter, as long as everyone have Fun !
