My World Tuesday - School is out

School is out and time for the kids to have much fun at the playground. While mummy goes shopping, the kids can have fun at the playground at Vivo City. This week is the school holiday for the kids. It is just only a short one week school holiday. Looking forward to the year end long school holiday from November to December for secondary school kids and mid November to December for primary school kids.



Wanted to bring my little niece for a movie but there isn't any nice movie to watch.

Please visit "That's my World" for other parts of the world.

Sembawang Shopping Centre-Playground for Kids

I normally dont go to Sembawang area cause it is not near where I am staying. This is the day where hubby and me decided to head to Sembawang Shopping Centre for our lunch.

We stumbled across a playground for kids. It looked so much fun.
The whole area looked deserted cause it is a weekday and all the kids are in school. And it is lunch time around noon, I guess parents do not like their kids to be out playing in the mid sun. But come weekend or school holidays, who cares if it is mid sun...lol. The whole place would be filled with kids and laughter.

Hort Park - Playgrounds

At the Hort Park, besides being a park filled with many beautiful flowers and plants, there are space for a playground for the kids.

The kids have a wonderful time playing with them.

Housing Estate Part 3 - Mini Park

This is the same park near my brother's apartment that I have posted before. You can view my previous posting in here.

I went down to the mini park with my little niece in the evening. Now I see people starting to come out and play and also to exercise.

This place is so shady, I like it.

A track for residents to jog or run. Noticed in the background, some flats are on the ground floor and they can dry their clothes in the open space and also to grow plants. Residents on higher floor also can grow plants in pots but they cannot placed them on dangerous place (eg. window ledge), which can pose a danger to people walking on the ground floor.

Anyone who throws objects down from high buildings to endanger lives would have to face a heavy penalty.

Pebbles on the ground for foot exercises. There are many fallen leaves in here, the poor cleaner would have a hard time sweeping them the next day.
A suspended bridge popular with kids.

Looked at my little niece having fun with her stuffed doggie on the sea saw. The doggie is a christmas present that I bought for my niece when she was about 2 and she still keep it. It is so dirty and yellowish but she refused to change for a new stuff doggie ....lol I think I will bring her out next month during the school holiday to get a new stuff dog.


Noticed that the see saw is designed for safety. It is low and the mat to cushion any fall by kids.

There are more play equipment at the playground like the swing, swinging chair, car, etc but I did not take the photographs .

Housing Estate Facilities (Part 2)-Fitness Corner

Continuing from yesterday post about the facilities in housing estates around Singapore.


This is a very small amphitheatre for the green tea corner's (posted about it yesterday) activities.

Residents would come here to perform or watch dances, songs, and etc.
Behind the amphitheatre is a little fitness corner.

There are instructions teaching people how to warm up before using the equipment.

You can click on the photo to enlarge it to read the instructions.

This signboard teaches how to use the equipment. It is quite easy and fun to use.
We are so well taken care of. The mat below the fitness equipment prevent someone from falling on hard concrete and hurt oneself. It is fire proof too.

Noticed the background of the covered linkway. They are built to connect blocks of flats so that we wont get drenched by heavy downpour and to shelter us from the hot sun. Do you think we are too pampered?

When I was young in my teens, I had to walk knee deep in flooding places....lol. My sons had never even experienced a flood in Singapore. That's how well built and organised my country is, but it is still not 100% perfect.

A short video of the equipment.

I had my sister play on the equipment so that I can video it...lol

P.S. There are not many people using the fitness corner cause when I took this photo was in the noon. Visit tomorrow post where I took some photos of the nearby park in the evening where people are starting to come out and exercise.
