A trip to goat and Veg Farm

This is my first visit to the Hay Dairies goat farm.

Watching kids feeding kids. Not my kids... But less priviledge kids feeding kids.. 

Today, I learnt that goat meat is Chevon. Mutton is from sheep not goat... The price of mutton is about $40 per kilo. While price of Chevon is $120 per kilo and it tasted like wagu.

Some other facts that I learnt at the farm:

The milk of cow is acidic while the milk from goat is alkaline, which is the same as humans milk. 

Due to the acidity of cow milk, it causes diarrhea in some consumers. Bloated stomach because it takes longer (about 4 hours) to digest.

Cow milk is "cold milk" while goat milk is "warm milk" when taken by our body. In TCM term, it's better to keep the body warm. 

Due to the warm properties and alkaline of goat milk, it's good for consumer with skin problem, eczema, asthma...

They only sell the male kid when they are 9 months old to prayer services for slaughtering.

These are the sharing from the goat farm coordinator (or owner)... I haven't  verified them with further research.

Off we went to feed the kids...

Got some milk...

Next stop was Kinyan Agrotech Organic Farm where various mushrooms are grown here. We were welcomed by strong mint plantation and beautiful flowers.

Dragon is not one of them...

New facts learnt today:

Without proper knowledge in growing plants, the successful rate of growing peasprout is only 40%...

First the seeds need to be soaked... I wasn't paying attention. OK I missed a whole lot of good stuff...

Wheatgrass takes about 6-7 days to grow and become ready for harvesting.

Wheatgrass shot gives instant results to bring down high blood pressure. I took a shot. It was juiced from so so so much harvested wheatgrass just for a bit of juice.

The lunch was great... Freshly harvested mushrooms, peasprouts and tomato salad...

 Followed with dessert wheatgrass icecream!

 

We also went on a mushroom tour... checked out also vera... Tried the freshly plucked mulberry...

We had a very fun+filling day 😘🤗

Happy Birthday to Me

Thank you, Dear Dear, for bringing me to a nice dinner.

We successfully dressed as if we stayed "upstairs". Muahahhaha... What a surprise! 😘😅

Corporate Family Day

After donkey years, I finally get into the same coy as Lulu. Today, I signed him up for the family day event organized by the coy without even asking him. Haha!

Well... We had fun.. tons of it... 😅

We didn't had our lunch so we went ahead to grab free flow of free food... First we started with Churros....

Followed by ice cream, popcorn, muachee... Fries...

And nuggets... So many adults cut their queue. Sigh... Wayne waited for two rounds to get his nuggets... Hohoho... Specially delicious after a long wait huh...

Free chilled soy milk...

Free flow of soy milk (we had meesiam and chicken rice, too hungry to take pictures)...

As we overate and missed the timing for long Kang fishing, we rescheduled it to later timing and started with prawning...

Three rods, three plates of bait... 30mins... Zero catch... 😓

The kids couldn't wait to zoom to the fake long Kang... You could easily guess their colour codes to identify the respective tanks...

Phoebe was very kind. She was afraid to step on the fish so she tiptoed and carefully navigate in the water... Hence, she only caught 6 fish...

Jiejie got the most number of catch... So we went to get some fish food to last them for a few more weeks... Hopefully...

Again, due to mummy's lousy time management, we missed the last batch of free trampoline. Well, we were in time but the slot was fully taken up. I decided that they will join the public batch and we paid for our play... So we purchased for an hour of mad jumping...

Awesome... a true family day! Muahahahaha... We had so much fun together 😘🤗😉

Five BIG stones

Interesting games that we played during one of those exam marking days when we were in primary schools... Five stones... The girls would take turns to advance through stages...

Those were the time... I wondered if they have installation of "zero point" somewhere...

It's amazing how people from older generation could think of such interesting games using day to day stuffs... Portable... No battery required.

Anyway, we went ahead to "hunt down" all the five stones...

This morning was meant for a family breakfast followed by a glance at the NEA clean and green raodshow, recommended by E-E.

It turned out as a very pleasant way to start our day (at least for me)...

A bunch of adorable kids were learning blading...

The second time we caught the interest group of 玩鸟人 showcasing their 鸟s...

The ATAS breakfast welcomed by a dead fly falling from the pot of plant... @Rise and Grind.

Nevertheless, my eyes were filled with tons of interesting events and facts today... Such as close up look at mozzie life cycle. 

We went according to plan and got a new study table to prepare Ms P for her P1 journey... Little W also recv his passed down tiny table from his sisters... the girls got new chairs with their "sibling colour code"... All were excited. Specially papa who could play "lego" all night to put all these DIY pieces tgt!!

 I'm grateful... For everything 😘
