Farm Visit

I've been indulging myself so much in Mind Cafe that for once, me and my 姐妹s agreed it was time to try something new over the weekend. Well, splurging our youth and money at Mind Cafe every week wasn't that helpful in improving, or rather, REMOVING our singelton statuses at all. Heh.

So, Piggy came up with a real cool suggestion... A farm visit! Wow... time to get our green fingers working! Maybe we could grow strawberries, papayas, cabbages or some Cai Xin!

Here we go!

The more than an hour long journey all the way from the east of the island to the west did not dampen our spirits at all. I should feel kinda ashamed as I blog about this, but without this farm visit, I would never have known how the Lot 1 Shopping Centre at Choa Chu Kang looked like. Hahaha.

We took the shuttle bus from Choa Chu Kang interchange direct to our destination-- Farmart. Oh, for those of you who are interested to visit, take note that the shuttle bus is not FREE oh... Single trip fare is S$0.50 per person. The three of us almost embarassed ourselves by trying to get a 霸王 ride.


So... how did the expediation turn out in the end? Let the pictures speak for themselves...

Ehem, the empty spaces in the mini-bus depicts how "ulu" Farmart is. (In fact, we are the only people on the bus, other than the driver, of course.)

A very self- absorbed Ra-ra.

There is a rather nice place to chill out where they serve food and wines (mainly from Australia). The restaurant dons on great lighting after the sun sets. It could have been rather romantic, but well, I went with Piggy and PP... not to forget the occassional smell from our dear friends the wind carried from the barn just 100 metres away.

Conclusion: Nice place to get in touch with a little man made nature. You might be able to retrieve some lost childhood jostling for the animals attention with toddlers and pre-schoolers.
