[Event] SAFRA Choa Chu Kang Celebrates 1st Year Anniversary

 SAFRA opened its seventh and latest clubhouse, nestled within Choa Chu Kang Park, which was officially launched on 23 November 2023. It's been a year, and I hadn't visited SAFRA Choa Chu Kang, despite my hubby being a SAFRA member. When I found out they were having a one-year anniversary carnival, we headed down to check out SAFRA Choa Chu Kang. Ironically, my hubby wasn't even aware of the existence of this latest clubhouse. 

I did a pre-registration online for 2 tickets which entitled us to 4 carnival games, 4 carnival rides and 4 snacks and two goodie bags. 

We had lunch at Mr Teh Tarik Cartel, which serves halal tze char dishes. The portion was big, even though we ordered small for all the dishes. Afterward, my hubby and my girl went for a swim at the all-weather sheltered swimming pool. My only complaint was that only the main pool was sheltered, the baby pool and some of the seating areas were exposed to the rain. While some seating areas had giant umbrellas for shelter, we were still asked to move inside in case of lightning. I didn't go swimming, so I stayed at the seating area to look after our belongings. 

 

Every SAFRA member gets one change to join in the sure-win gashapon machine and we won a $10 SAFRA voucher! We played the carnival games and had some snacks. Afterward, hubby needed to leave, so my girl and I stayed on.  

My girl and I went to all the levels to uncover the hidden Santa stockings and we took part in an online quiz. After completing the online quiz with all the correct answers, we went back to the Customer Service Officers to receive a customized SAFRA 2025 table calendar. 

I also registered and paid for the Basic Food Photography workshop hosted by Joel, and our props were Chateraise desserts. My girl picked the strawberry cake and after taking some nice photos, we got to enjoy it too. Participants also received some vouchers, I used the $5 voucher for our dinner. For dinner, we ate at Ishiro Fusion Bowl at Food Paradise. The setting was lovely with mandopop playing in the background. Love the vibes. 

After dinner, we witnessed the Christmas lights-up ceremony and enjoyed the free-flow snow play accompanied by Christmas songs! Everybody loves it. We all got ourselves foamy and messy, but who cares? It was Singapore's snow without the cold! I think the snow lasted quite long, after the last segment which was a magic show and when we were heading home, it was still snowing. 

We spent the whole day at Safra Choa Chu Kang and it was great. We made our way to Choa Chu Kang bus interchange and my girl requested for a photo here. 

Sunday's breakfast was this edible cookie from The Bakers Formulae received after we completed a survey for this event, really smart of them to use M&Ms as the colouring. 

XOXO
