Gardens by the Bay - 23/9/2012 Sunday

13 buses carrying 530 participants, including the volunteers arrived early in the morning to Singapore's latest attraction, Gardens by the Bay.

The morning silence of the picturesque landscape Gardens was suddenly brought to life by the laughter and chattering of our happy seniors.

This is the first outing organised by Bukit Batok East Active Ageing Committee with full support from the Grassroots Organisations to encourage and promote active ageing as a way of life to our seniors who are 50 years old and above.

Embracing the spirit of ageing actively, groups of seniors from participating GROs cheered and waved their hands in the air for a fun group photo with our Active Ageing banner that shouted out "Active Ageing, Enjoy Life". After the hyped photograph session, it was time for a free and easy educational tour at the 2 cooled observatories, Flower Dome and Cloud Forest. Mdm Judy Leong excitedly gathered her group and leisurely made their way for the observatories tour. At 71 years old, she exudes a glow of health and vibrancy of a "younger" older person.

At noon, the active agers bid farewell to the Gardens and departed for a restaurant lunch session at the Civil Service Club. Welcoming them was a healthy hearty meal and an invigorating speech by our Active Ageing Chairman , Mr Lee Kwok Chow, PBM on ageing gracefully and actively.

It was a fun day of forging stronger community bonding with our seniors in staying active, connected and engaged
