Remember our earlier post about uncles Daddies (Andy and Kelvin) and young kids musing about Dragon?
Video : That Dragon (ιΎ) story is ready. We talk about our childhood memories, preserving heritage, making friends at playgrounds etc π

For your dose of old playgrounds, do pop by our “2011 Project Playground” summary.
You will be able to dig out more photos, and links to other write-ups π
Go visit some of the playgrounds, before they are gone forever.
Reposting our Playground Memories from our old blog. In 2011, we covered 7 old-school playgrounds over a period of two months. Sadly some playgrounds has since been torn down….
Daddy found this interesting article on Friday’s (07-Jan-2011) Straits Times Life section. He saw seven 30+ years old Playgrounds!
We got inspired, and ## Project Playground (PP) was born.
Sengkangbabies will be roaming these prehistoric playgrounds, before they are gone for good! Sadly, in Singapore, everything is build, tore down, and rebuild again in accelerated speed π
Our Old-playground project is not only dedicated to the kids, but also to everyone who is young-at-hearts π Yes, you!! The boys and girls born in the 70s and 80s. Feeling Nostalgic already?
#Playground 1 – Dragon – Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 Blk 570
Kids start climbing the stairs and the Dragon’s guts.

Boys, do you realise this playground is nearly as old as your Daddy?
On hindsight, Daddy should arrange smallest one behind..
Sliding with Sengkangbabies are never boring ! Yi got angry keke.
Video : Even Daddy could not resist the slides !
How many kid have fond childhood memories of Dragon?
When will people start taking care of their own playgrounds and backyards?

Quoted from their Facebook Wall
~~ The playground was our school, imagination was our friend, lifes lessons were learnt through the bumps and bruises we gathered from knocking against those colourful, rock hard mosaic tiles ~~
