Happy Birthday Singapore!

Yesterday was our National 41th Birthday! Happy Birthday Singapore!

It was a public holiday and the girls realised that when they woke up seeing daddy & mummy not dressed up to work but still on bed!

Clarabelle pester daddy... "daddy go farm (goat farm)? huh? go farm?" and YES! Daddy agreed! So immediately we set off after a quick wash up as we want to catch the goat milking session before it end at 11am!

It was a wonderful morning, breezy blue sky with beautiful cloud, everything was perfect for such outing!

When we passed by the Kranji Reservoir, Clara yelled with excitement: "Mummy see! Water !"

It was high tide! The water level is almost the same as the road level. The girls were so delightful, they love to see anything associated with water... kept reciting water, water fall, swimming... etc


When we reached the goat farm, it was already crowded with families. We were just in time for the last milking session. Standing at the viewing platform was an "pungent" process but the girls dont seem to be bothered instead kept imitating the goat bleating, mie... mie... as if they were able to communicating with the goat... *eye rolling*

Beside watching the goat in the farm, the girls enjoyed most is the goodness of the milk! Most people will cringe at the smell of goat milk but I am glad that they love goat milk, most probably it's the chocolate flavour and the chillness, the only drink I gave them so chilled. Really have to drink it very chilled then the goaty smell is not so overwhelming though the tints of chocolate does help abit too.

Sharing a 250ml bottle is definately not enough for them but I made them share, the chillness of the milk can really make them cough...

Beside the goat farm, Kranji does has many other nature places to be explored. We drove into an jetty and realised that was the Lim Chu Kang Police Coast. It is also a pier for fisherman at the nearby kelong to reach spore. The pier deck was not very secure and wobble but that doesnt intimidated us from getting near to the sea... the air doesnt smell good (rotten fish) but the scenary is tranquilling... this place may be daddy's new fishing hangout... the girls love it and kept looking out for fishes... and me? sure come back for more picture, when I got myself a better pixel camera! : (

Next stop, we went to the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. Entrance fee $1 for adult and 50 cents for children. Im not prepare to pay entrance fee for a nature walk but thinking it's just a nominal amount, for maintaining the nature... well, this is the minimum I shd do to help conserving the nature...

I will advise to go this place well equipped. Binocular, good camera, head gear, proper walking gear, generous time and a filled stomach. This place has too much to see and you really need the time to appreciate the scenary. This time round was too ahoc. The girls were hungry and tire. Though we saw the monitor lizard, mud skipper and tree crawling crab... We will definately come back next time, well prepared... :)

This was how the girls celebrated this year National Day, Roar ! Mie...! A tranquillity National Day :)
