Christmas at Gardens by the Bay

[ Media Invite ]

Gardens by the Bay(GBTB) has been decked up for Christmas. Outdoor at the SuperTrees, you will not miss this huge grandeur structure!

The “Spalliera” is the largest light structure at GBTB, measuring 31m wide and 5 storeys high! At certain timing (daily 7.30pm), blizzards will be unleashed for the little ones.

“Italian Illuminaries” lights up the path way. Walk under beautiful light arches illuminated with a myriad of colours (there is a feel of Deepavali).

Around the Supertree Grove, European-style festive market serves Christmas goodies. While you eat and shop, Christmas mood will be enhanced with “12 days of choir” at “Casa Armonica” (a mini stage gazebo).

In addition, Garden Rhapsody (Christmas Edition) will keep your family spellbound every evening in a specially choreographed 12 minutes Light-show.

You might notice a huge tent at the center of SuperTree grove too. The “Spiegeltent” is over 200 years, and made from 1000 pieces of wood. (F&B offerings at this link)

Love the little villages and chapel covered in thick “snow”. Daddy know it will be hard, but try to encourage the kids to stay off the “snow” :p

Daddy love this white flowers, they look so radiant under the moonlight.

Do you want to be a Gopro Hero?

[ Daddy wants to be a Hero ]

SengkangBabies enjoying some water moments at Legoland Waterpark.

Thanks to our new GoPro Hero 3+ camera, our Fun factor and perspectives (video and photos) just went up a notch.

GoPro camera was designed for adrenaline junkies. Daredevils who like to skydive, surf and rock climb, or bungee jump, BMX and skateboard stunts. You get the dRiFt.

Holding the GoPro Hero 3+ in my hand, this fella has a small footprint (smaller than EZ-link card)! There are only three buttons, and everyone can start recording within a few minutes.

Ours is the GoPro Hero 3+ Silver, which cost $389 in June, and we got a free 32Gb microSD (worth $90) during the promotion. Mummy brought it for Daddy as a Father’s Day gift πŸ™‚

Although our family’s activities are not really “adrenalin pumping”, our capable GoPro has been following us on our adventures.

Our multitasking GoPro Hero 3+ Silver:
– underwater camera (comes with underwater casing)
– in-car camera
– selfie camera

Although the GoPro is cool, there are a few things which our GoPro Hero 3+ Silver cannot perform :
– GoPro can capture everything with fisheye lens, but cannot Zoom
– Night vision photo is not ideal and subject to shakes (like any other Point & Shoot cameras)
– There is no LCD for playback, and you can only aim and shoot (practice makes perfect)
– Themepark staffs might prevent you from GoProing on slides and rides, cover and concealment please :p

Gopro fisheye

The first accessory you need will be a stick, for stability and wefie (grab a 18″ or 36″). Once you are familiar with GoPro functions and your own requirements, more poisoning shopping available at GoPro website. Anyone need a drone?

Mount your GoPro on your stick, your dashboard or your running cap, even your snorkel mask πŸ™‚

Not sure whether Daddy will be skydiving or bungee jumping in his lifetime, but swimming with whalesharks seem easier to achieve. We say GoPRo Hero is ideal for family adventures.

Checkout this Oslob whaleshark link from the Philippines.

Checkout our favourite GoPro teacher MicBergsma. This chap has hundreds of tutorials and he is deaf (amazing how he conveys his instructions across!). He GoPros his pets too.

Be a Hero, grab a GoPro, Hero4 is already available.
