Heartwarming Connections: A Day of Joy with Seniors at Jurong Point
Recently, Jurong Point had the immense pleasure of hosting 20 seniors from SASCO@Khatib for a truly special event: the Cycling Without Age – Active Generations programme. This heartwarming initiative, proudly supported by Link Together Initiatives, brought together generations for a day filled with laughter, nostalgia, and new experiences.
A Morning of Nostalgia and Creativity
The day began with a delightful trip down memory lane, starting with a nostalgic breakfast at the beloved Kopitiam Food Hall. Following this comforting start, the seniors unleashed their creativity in a lively tote bag painting session. This unique activity featured the captivating artwork of renowned muralist Yuen Kum Cheong, providing an inspiring canvas for their expressions.
Scenic Rides and Cherished Tales
As the morning unfolded, the air was filled with cherished stories and shared memories. Seniors reminisced about classic childhood games like 'tikam-tikam' and the refreshing taste of 'ice balls'. These fond recollections accompanied scenic trishaw rides to the picturesque Jurong Central Park, expertly facilitated by the wonderful team at Cycling Without Age Singapore. It was a beautiful blend of past and present, creating new memories while celebrating old ones.
A Sweet Conclusion
The memorable day concluded on a truly sweet note. Participants gathered for a delicious lunch, capped off with the delightful local dessert, chendol, at Sampanman. It was a perfect ending to a day of meaningful connections and shared joy.
We at Jurong Point are incredibly proud to be a part of such meaningful community initiatives.
