Let's Party Together



Christmas is all about sharing your joy and laughter around, isn’t it? Residents in Bukit Batok East Zone 2 RC shared their joy with one another at the fun-filled evening celebrating an early Christmas.

The party was kick-started with a medley of Christmas carols, sung by residents and volunteers in a harmonious tune. As everyone were immersed in the festive mood, a series of balloon sculpting, magic show and puppet performance put up amused them further. The delighted children took the party higher when they danced the rest of the night away in our funky mass disco-ing. The smiles on their faces were simply magical.

Halloween Party

It was a fun-filled race with team members, young and old, cheering each other on. The 6 designated stations brought the participants to every corner of the Zoo hunting for our yellow vested race station masters. Catching their breath with a wide satisfying smile, all our participating teams completed the race in an amazing time and get to walk away with a prize, joining the rest of our BBE residents in a leisure stroll on one of the world's most beautiful wildlife park settings.
