Marina Bay is our playground

Loving Marina Bay is a month long event to celebrate Marina Bay’s events and transformation through twenty amBayssadors. We are the photographers and bloggers who have captured some fragments of Marina Bay’s memories

SengkangBabies is honoured to be one of Marina Bay’s amBAYssadors.

From this tag cloud, you know Marina Bay is always happening for us ! From GardensByTheBay, MarinaBarrage, to MBS and Merlion fireworks, our kids have covered so much milage around Marina Bay (POSB, ColdStorage Kids Run and Maybank). When Singapore Army brings their toys to Marina Bay, we never miss the lighlights like AOH and NDP mobile columns !

Our long history with Marina Bay..

Now, try to imagine why we have problems picking our best experiences at Marina Bay?

Back to last Sat’s Loving Marina Bay event. It was an opportunity to catch up with old buddies, and make new friends. You can find out who else is featured at this link.

Daddy’s favourite photo is Andrew Ng’s Funfair and..

Kelvin‘s rockstar son, Ayden !!

Slideshow of the other amBAYssadors. Each entry offers more jaw-dropping photos and perspectives. Daddy is really humbled that our blog is featured πŸ™‚

SengkangBabies’ photo compilation are from “wishing spheres“, “Merlion Hotel“, “Gardens Skywalk” and “Barrage soccer“.

We would be equally proud if any of the photos below are shortlisted πŸ™‚

In 2013, we hope to get tickets to F1 and NDP parade (four years without tickets), and that should add to our to-do lists in Marina Bay πŸ™‚

Loving Marina Bay‘s photos displays are not only about modern MarinaBaySands or GardensByTheBay. It is also tracing the history from old Clifford pier. Hey, when we mention Marina in the 80s and 90s, it was referring to Marina Square and not Marina Bay πŸ™‚

This is one of the better videos to see how Marina Bay has transformed.

We are familiar with the Merlion, Flyer, Helix bridge, MBS and Esplanade, but Daddy thought the unassuming “The Float” was actually the platform which brought big scale events to the Bay. With NDP, New Year countdowns, RiverHongbao or F1 races, we can always spot the Yellow/Blue/Red/Green rows of seats. Build to “temporary” host events with the demise of National Stadium, The float has become a central point of events.

If the iconic buildings are the organs of Marina Bay, then the people and events will be it’s lifeblood. Marina Bay is the place to be seen, or to soak in the atmosphere.

Andy is a proud father of four, and he calls his kids the ambassadors of Fun. He started his family blog to dispel the myth that Singapore is boring and to document his kids’ childhood. Kids’ growing milestones bring his family a great deal of pride and fond memories and he hopes to share their joy with more families via SengkangBabies. The family is honoured to be Marina Bay’s amBAYssadors as it happens to be one of their favourite playgrounds. There are so many activities for everyone from three to eighty years old!

With the quote above, Daddy is telling more people to pop by Marina Bay with friends and families. A few events have been lined up to engage the public :

– photography workshops and competition
– heritage walks and more

ps.. we wanted to surprise the kids, so we did not tell them about our “poster and booth”. SengkangBabies are now mini celebrities at Marina Bay :p

Candle Night 2012

Who say candlelight is only for Romantics?
We were there at Merlion Park in 2011 and enjoy the candlelight ambience.

Candle Night 2012 happened last Sat, we met Tan family and Hong Peng again (same like 2011).

Our family enjoy the tour, watching the Merlion and the Mid-Autumn moon. It was also an event to celebrate Merlion’s 40th birthday.

Kids can diy their own lanterns, or draw some cartoons. Participants were invited to bring their lanterns too. MidAutumn celebration would be bland without mooncakes, lanterns or sparklers :p

The Merlion with it’s spray, and the boats are always a welcome distraction πŸ™‚

When it turns dark, we light up our lanterns. This is the highlight for the kids.

We slowly make our way one along Merlion Park, and look at the other lighting installations.

Click for more CandleLight photos, and our 2011 experience. Click for Hong Peng’s review too.

In case this is your first visit to our blog, we wish to share more activities around Marina Bay.
