Cute Poses to Try on Your Next Fam Outing🫶🏻♥️

I recently purchased the Canon M50 Mark II camera and decided to drag my family to one of my favourite nature spots on our sunny island - Jurong Lake Gardens 🍃 

There’s just something undeniably special about being in the company of nature and it is scientifically proven to improve mental health. According to Mind , a UK-based charity foundation focused on mental health issues, found that just being around nature can improve your mood, reduce feelings of stress and anger, help you to be more active - just to name a few! To be honest, I don’t need any research to convince me that nature is good for me, because I can feel it for myself and hear - as it calls out to me every time - even in SG’s humid, tropical weather🙃

It was my family’s first time at Jurong Lake Gardens’ Grasslands, and I’ve been telling them how wonderful this place is, and though they didn’t say it, I think they were pretty impressed. This place is widely publicised but to me, it’s definitely worth the hype. And no matter how many times you come here, it’s always an experience of its own bringing along different people. This was my fourth time there but a first with my family - which reminds me other than nature, surrounding myself with the people that matter the most and seeing the smiles on their faces is like a triple boost to my mental health - nature🌱, love♥️ & happiness✨ 

Here are some quick tips that I thought might come in handy if you’re planning to go there:

1️⃣ Poses - the best ones come out when you’re having the most fun. When I’m out with my family, we always laugh at the silliest of things when we’re exploring or just doing something together. Which is why, whenever there’s a new exhibition or place to check out, I’ll be sure to “jio” them out. So, have fun with yours! If not, hopefully the ones I shared will inspire you - simple and cute 🫶🏻

2️⃣ Wear comfortable clothes - more specifically dri-fit or dark coloured clothing, so that you can still look cute without your sweat stains showing. No matter how cool Singapore’s weather is, a walk here, a stroll there and you’re sweating from the pits before you know it. 

3️⃣ Bring a tripod! I intended to bring, but thought that I’d keep my family as subjects. Didn’t expect us to have a quick impromptu shoot - and we ended up placing my camera on the ground, and let the camera roll. I extracted a few cute snapshots of us from it!

4️⃣Recommended to go in the early morning or late afternoon/evening when the sun is not scorching and burning your skin, as the grassland area is not the shadiest place.

5️⃣ If you’re going with friends/family who are active people, you can actually plan a whole outing trip here. There’s an ActiveSG Park right at Jurong Lake Garden itself that has a wide range of amenities such as a gym, pool, and table tennis tables - I was amazed.
