Yada yada from Justikanz

Have been coughing non-stop… think this is what they call the 百日咳…

Anyway, I am a little stressed out… I am really afraid I am not able to perform and disappoint people… Oh well… See how lah…

Last week, I brought some work back home and only to stare at the papers and either switch on the tv or go out and dun return till almost midnight… :p I am bad… :p Maybe I am really stressed out by work and so I dun really wanna do it over the weekend…

Anyway, last Sunday, I took the opportunity of my parents not working and brought them out for an outing. I told them I will bring them to some places they had never been to before and without telling them much, drove them out…

Luckily, they enjoyed the trip and we are looking at going again this coming Sunday…

I brought them to Teo’s Plant Farm and showed them what an aquatic plant farm looks like and show them the Lim Chu Kang area whilst driving there… Then I brought them to Hay’s Farm, where my parents actually enjoyed looking at the goats and we brought back 5 bottles of goat’s milk and a pineapple. Organic one, ok… We then go to the dragon fruit plantation/farm next door, where we ended up buying dragon fruit drinks for CNY and a pot of ‘Sweet Chrysanthemum Leaves’. The plant is a small stemmed plant which has very sweet tasting leaves. The aunty taught us to use the leaves for brewing tea and cooking sweet soups and desserts. Very sweet indeed!...

After the dragon fruit farm, we went to Bollywood Veggies. We had a very unique lunch there, with papaya chicken and aloe vera tofu as part of the lunch menu… We took a tour of the BIG farm there and saw quite a bit of stuff that we will really not see in urban Singapore.

We then proceed to Choa Chu Kang where we visited Qian Hu Fish Farm, Woon Leng Orchids and Song Orchids. The weather was good and they enjoyed themselves. By the time we went home, we had 1 carton of drinks, 1 pot of plant, 1 big pineapple, 1 carton of goat’s milk and 1 big bag of snacks…

For this coming Sunday, I think I will plan to start earlier and include places like the Jurong Frog Farm (which I have no idea exactly where it is), Farm Mart and the Thompson nurseries. Want to include the Pasir Ris farms, but they are really too far away… :p

Sure end up buying a lot of things one...
