A day at fidget Turf club

I decided on Fidget.. so bring him there on sat.. cos mum knock off at 2pm.. much go fatch her first.. then we went turf club.. hubby wasnt very excited to bring him there.. worry tat he will refuse to leave tat place..

shawn was very 'cool'.. didn reali rush into play in the beginning.. only start to ran abt at later stage.. he even went to hug other parents.. nvr afraid to lost us.. but he dun like to play inside the pool of balls.. he rather b the ball picker.. whaha.. pick up ball n throw into the pool.. he prefer to kick the ball ard..

This is the first children day since shawn can walk.. :) hope he will love wat i arrange for him :) will get him a cake this thur.. heee..

Dear fatch me from ofc..

29 Aug 2009 @ Labrador Park

Plan to go West coast park for the kite festive.. but the crowd there.. cant even find a place to park our cars.. so end up at Labrador park..

Place to bring our kiddo to have fun :)

Come across these place suggested by some mummies in the forum where we can bring our kids to.. Cheap/free and fun places to share...

Farm Visits are very eye-opening and educational for children.

1. Hays Dairy Farm - Off Lim Chu Kang Rd at Lane 4 Website: http://www.haydairies.com.sg/
To get there: Bus no. 175 from Choa Chu Kang interchange. Alight at Lim Chu Kang Lane 4.
Visit early in the morning by 9 or 10am to see them milking the goats. This two-hectare farm has about 500 goats and produces some 250 litres of milk a day. Goats' milk has a natural hazelnut flavour and is richer in Vitamin B and mineral salts, and the fat globules are smaller than that of cows' milk, thus making it more easily digestible. It is thus said to be good for asthmatics, youthful skin, allergies and people with lactose intolerance. The children would love watching the kids (baby goats), learning about and identifying the different types of goats. You can taste & buy fresh chilled goats milk at the farm.

2. Quail's Farm, Lian Wah Hing - 5 Lim Chu Kang Rd at Lane 6F
Do not visit if you've been to the zoo or come into contact with any chicken or birds the day before as you may carry diseases that affect their fowl. There's turkey, ducks, chickens, and of course quails in this farm. You will get to sample some cooked quail's eggs and can buy them cheap & fresh from the farm too. You can also buy quails & herbs to bring home and boil herbal soups and tonics. Quite pleasant-smelling and tasting! If you visit on a Sunday, you can even taste the different types of herbal soups that they have for guests!

3. Jurong Frog Farm - 56 Lim Chu Kang Rd at Lane 6 Website:

http://www.jurongfrogfarm.com.sg/
Bull Frogs, tiny frogs (don't know the name, but they tend to feed these to Arowana fish?), tadpoles, etc. These water bullfrogs are known to many usually as delicacies. Besides frogs, there are also eels, turtles, tilapias and snakeheads in the farm.

4. Aerogreen Technology - 115 Neo Tiew Crescent, next to Sungei Buloh Nature Park.
Singapore's first commercial aeroponics farm. This farm which uses aeroponic technology to grow vegetables. Aeroponics, which means growing in air as opposed to organic (soil), enables the growth of temperate vegetables in equatorial Singapore. Nutrients are sprayed directly onto the suspended roots of the plants and vegetables. Many types of vegetables are grown here namely Butterhead Lettuce, Batavia, Baby Cos, Kai Lan, Bai Cai, Lollo Rossa and Japanese Yukari (Chye Sim) as well as cherry tomotoes. The Butterhead Lettuce is fresh, crunchy, sweet and juicy. The farm produces some 500 kilogrammes of pesticide-free vegetables a day for local consumption. Sometimes, you may even be in the season for strawberries! Go on Saturdays and you can do harvesting. All the vegetables you can pluck for your bag for one good price! You can also buy their pre-packed salad bowls, lettucino drinks and jelly. Contact them to arrange for visits
And after you are done with the Aerogreen Farm, you might just want to pop over to the Sungei Buloh Nature Park. Check it out!
Others - that we haven't been to, but you can try & let us know!
