Imagine
putting work aside and simply spending a fun-filled
day with your family at a Hawaiian-style
resort with only one concern — how to have
more fun!
What about basking by the beach by day, and enjoying the gentle breeze of the
evening as you feast on a lavish spread of barbecued seafood by night?
Sounds like a cool getaway?
Well, all these and much more can be enjoyed at the sandy and sun-kissed Palawan
beach on Sentosa. And that was where and how the Singapore Civil Defence Force
(SCDF) spent their Family Day event.
For two consecutive days in June, some 2,000 staff and family members had plenty
of wholesome fun at the event dubbed “ALOHA@Palawan, Scream and Shout at
Sentosa”. The programme was organised over two days for the convenience
of SCDF personnel on shift duty as well as their families.
Children, who came in large numbers, had fun with many specially arranged activities
such as face painting, caricature drawing and colouring contests.

The
hip and sporting staff enjoyed a variety of games
and programmes such as beach volleyball, stage
performances and even a foam party that saw them
dancing
the night away (not to mention working off the heavy dinner too!).
The Family Day event was just the beginning of a host of exciting programmes
and events that SCDF has in store for its officers and their families. In fact,
SCDF is a corporate Family Life Ambassador. (For more information on the Family
Life Ambassador programme organised by the Ministry of Community Development
and Sports, visit www.aboutfamilylife.org.sg.)
The SCDF recognises the importance of striking a firm balance between work and
family life. That is why it has always placed strong emphasis on family-oriented
activities to build stronger family ties, which are a vital social and psychological
support in difficult times. |
