Super Dads at Explorer Kid

[ Media Invite ]

Over the Father’s day weekend, we got an invitation to attend Explorer Kid‘s “SuperDad saves the day” event. Daddies has to pair us with a child and complete 7 tasks in Explorer Kid (Downtown East).

Boon Kang was Daddy’s designated partner.

The tasks are relatively simple, testing our wit, speed and accuracy. Most importantly, it offers the father and child team an excellent opportunity to tag-team and strive to complete the tasks.

The first three teams to complete all tasks and with highest score stand to win attractive prizes. But there are more than 40 teams on that day itself !

We spotted so many enthusiastic parent and child teams running all over Explorer Kid. Sometimes, the mums help out too by identifying the location of the tasks or by giving hints to quiz answers :p

Explorer Kid’s mascots were on hand to warm up the kids and send the teams on their mission.

Some of the tasks require us to take selfies or for Daddies to piggyback their kids.

By now, you should have guess our challenge also incorporated Autobots and Decepticons! Transformer tattoo is too cool !

Almost finish our challenge, with one last task.

Boon Kang has to bounce (Mega Jump) and throw the balls into Daddy’s bucket. Easy peasy 🙂

We submitted our Passport, there are certificates for completion too.

Canon Families at Fidgets

[ Media Invite ]

At Grandstand Fidgets, all the kids were so serious when it come to their diy cupcakes. There was laughter, giggling and a strong whiff of fragrance in the baking class.

Canon hosted us to a 2-in-1 event last week. Indoor playground and cupcake-baking for the young ones, and photography workshop (with Bob Lee) for the not-so-young ones.

We parents know the kids are in good hands, and we had that few precious moments to learn from a photography pro.

Parents snapping away at the cute kiddos, with their chef’s hat, totally engrossed in their cupcake domain.

While kids entertain themselves, parents pick up a tip or two from photographer Bob Lee. Shutter, Focus, how to capture that Moment with your child.

Bob’s tips were simple and easy to understand.

A for Angle
B for Bokeh
C for Continuous mode
D for Distance and detail
E for Exposure

and finally F to Z – Keep shooting!

Through his photo sharing, we can feel Bob’s love towards his family, especially his child.

Personally, Daddy always believe that it is the daily photos (those mundane repetitive ones) which will tell our stories decades down the road. The unplanned, the insignificant photos (yes, even the blur ones) offer snippets of our cherished lifestyles.

We celebrate the milestones, but it is often the daily mundane stuffs which tell our story.

Fidgets offers a lot of space and activities to keep kids busy. Crafting section at one corner.

Across the “street”, kids went wild running up the ladders and sliding down the slides. They had an opportunity to play before and after the cupcake class.
