Our Community Garden
Our community garden situated between Blk 231 and 232 is undergoing some improvement works. We had put in place 4 permanent structures for hanging of festive lighting and decorations. We want to make it a nice place for residents to congregate, interact and share their experiences on gardening. Once completed, it would be a beautiful place not only for residents to meet up, but also a nice area for some photo sessions with family and friends.
The garden naming contest had attracted 17 participants by the end of Jan 2011. 3 winners (Ms Jocelia Tay, Mr. Jansen Tay and Mr. Joseph James Louis) were identified and invited to a festive dinner on 19 Feb 2011 to receive their prizes from our advisor, Mr. Inderjit Singh. The date of the official opening of the community garden will be announced in due course.

Deepavali Celebration
We celebrated the Festival of Lights, Deepavali, on 27 Nov 2010 at the void deck of Blk 223. The area was beautifully decorated with mango leaves and flowers. Great Music, together with our traditional Indian dancers heightened the festive spirit. Special dance items put up by Jingle Land play group left a smile on every face. The lighting up of "Kuthuvilakku" by our Guest of Honour, Mr. Tan Ah Pek, BBM (L), Chairman of Kebun Baru Citizens' Consultative Committee marked the start to that evening's programme. The residents’ turnout was awesome and we were running short of seats. Among them were a few who were wheelchair bound. It touched our hearts to see that they came despite the inconvenience. Thank you. We estimated the crowd to be around 180. Small gifts and refreshments were provided.

Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration On 24 Sep 2010
The event was held at the open concourse between Blk 230 and 231 from 7pm to 9.30pm. Many residents with children in tow joined our Guest of Honour, Mr. Inderjit Singh in this fun filling festive celebration.
The children especially enjoyed watching the magic show performed by Mr. Andy Ng. They never hesitated to volunteer themselves on stage to assist him in his performance. There were lots of cheering and laughter from the audients, adults and children alike.
The residents were also being entertained by other performances such as the Lion/Dragon dance, Ukelele and Guzheng play, Break dance and Myanmar traditional dance.
Competitive games were also played among residents of different races. We found the game played between a few family teams being the most meaningful one. Each team was made up of an adult and a child. They had one of their hand tied to each other. They then required to set-up/light-up the lanterns and complete a short distance race. It was the strong family bonding that brought about the unity and strength to win them the top prizes.
The snow-skin mooncake making demonstration and traditional Chinese tea art appreciation attracted many interest as well. There were enough candies, mooncakes and pomelos to go round as goodies for the residents. This is not possible without the generosity of our sponsors. We would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their support in making this occasion a memorable one for all of us.
