2012 Posb passion kids run

Sunday morning, we participated in POSB’s passion kids’ run 2011. Event was held at Marina Bay for the first time. (2011 was at East Coast Park)

This year, we are joining other families in the 3.5Km Family category. Starting from Marina Bay Promontory, we walk towards Marina Bay Sands.

The weather was just nice, as we were worried about an overcast earlier. Kids enjoy running and playing catching along the way.

We reach the halfway mark when we can see the looming SuperTrees. If you have not been to Gardens yet, please read our experience.

We take breaks in between to admire the scenery, and for Daddy to frame us. The towels came in useful 🙂

We are glad to be part of POSB’s passion run initiative. To quote from POSB :
=== ===
Who are the kids we’re helping?
The POSB PAssion Kids Fund aims to support the children in the community through different programmes. It is part of the People’s Association Community Development Fund (PACDF) whose objective is to promote activities and programmes which will contribute towards social capital and community development.

A fun family morning.

We took about 1 hour to complete the walk (not 4 hours on the LED panel). To the kids’ disappointment, the bouncing castle has been deflated. One of the motivation for them to complete the walk was the castle. Why does it has to be dismantled so quickly?

Although we did not come in fastest, we did came in together. Daddy and Mummy unanimously confer best-runner award to Ms Lee Boon Xin. We are so proud she did not ask for any hugs along the way. Boon Xin just followed in her bros’ footsteps.

We had a happy family day on this Sunday morning, and we hope your family had a great one too. Thank you DBS\Posb for the invitation.

Gardens by the Bay – Supertree and Cloud Forest

Even when the Trees are out of focus, SuperTree Grove still look magical in the evening.

For first time visitors, the SuperTrees always look impressive from any angle, and time of the day. This is our review of Gardens by the Bay.

Day or night, from the base, or from the top. Awesome !

Peeping down from the six-storey OCBC Skyway.

The best time to explore and absorb the romantic ambiance might be during dusk. The moment before the sun sets, casting an orange silhouette across Marina Bay Sands.

Look at these two time-lapse lookalike clip of the dancing SuperTrees. At 1945 daily, Garden Rhaspody will dazzle you with light and laser show. Try staying near the centre of the SuperTree Grove. We will feel a surroud sound effect.


The trees bask majestically under the Blue hour’s illumination.

At the Cloud Forest, Waterfall and water droplets greet you at the entrance. Refreshing. Listen to the downpour, feel the wind.

At certain timings (9am, 11am, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm and 8pm), mist will be released! You will be enshrouded by thick white mist. Super Cool ! Look up and see the “Yellow” lights breaking through the “mist”.


Imagine walking hand in hand with your darling or family. It is wet and slightly cold, but it is such a romantic experience.

The roof window panes have a lot of reflections. At some angles, Daddy thought it felt like stargazing.
