On Saturday, her regular weekly visit to West Coast Park held special meaning, as she helped plant a tree that commemorates her birth.
Her father, Dr Raj Kumar Menon, a 41-year-old surgeon, said his 22-year-old daughter got her hands dirty as she explored the leaves and bark of the tree before helping to top up the soil and water the plant with him and his wife.
The Menons who also invited along Tara's grandfather, grandaunt and granduncle - were among 60 families who planted trees at West Coast Park and Jurong Central Park on Saturday.
The initiative is a collaboration between the One Million Trees movement by National Parks Board and Families for Life, a volunteer-led council, and is meant to commemorate the Year of Celebrating SG Families.
It provides Singaporean families with a child up to three years old an opportunity to plant a tree.
