Garden Festival (BHID Outings)

BHID Past Events and Outings

Outing to Singapore Garden Festival 2008 - 26/07/2008

Yeah, this is my first outing with the residents!!!
So excited sia!!!

Group photo at the ground level of Suntec City...

BHID was given some free tickets by CSC to go to the Garden Festival at Suntec City...
Just enough for the residents only, so the volunteers have to pay for their own tickets...

Heng heng Bernard got NTUC card, so we got 15% off...
Wah 不 愧 是 我 们 的 Aunty Bernie...

But unfortunately, due to time constraints, we did not managed to fully appreciate the Garden Festival because we only have 2 hours to cover two whole levels of flower display!!!
Especially on level 6, where the theme is Fantasy Landscape I think...
Level four is where the displays by the Community...
(If I'm not wrong, BHID won something... Hahaha yeah!!!)

Just before entering...


Group photo at level four...
Can you see the shiny award being held by one of our residents??
(The square thingy, not the lights la...)

Guess what, they have this section at level four, whereby they show how flowers or leaves can be made into something useful...
Thus they folded some leaves into mini grasshoppers!!! Tres Cute!!! Kids love them...
They also made some Kueh with the addition of flower petals into it... Very delicious indeed... And I got the recipe!!! Muwhahahahahahahaaaaa!!!


Anyway, after the residents outing is over, some of us went back for another round of ogling at the beautiful displays...
Because it would be waste not to take photos of all those displays since some of them are absolutely breathtaking...
And because we pay for the admission fee liao, so must make it worth it sia... Hahahaa!!!




The people who went back:
Bernard, me, YL, Yenl, Yungle, Yongfeng



Okie, enough photos of us...
Here are some of the beautiful exhibits at level 6...
Man, these pictures don't do them justice...

(Due to the lousy camera we all have, I did some research online and found a few amazing photos, and add them in...
To tell the difference between the photos we took and the ones I got off the net, it is the ones that makes you go from "Nice" to "WOAH!!!"...)
