Outing with Joel !!!

Sat morning, Daddy and Mummy arranged with Uncle Telang and Auntie Winnie so that Joel, Camille (Joel's sister) and me can have an outing to the Animal Resort farm at Seletar West Farmway 5.

Daddy and Mummy had brought me there before, but since the place is FOC (other than buying food for the animals), we do not mind going again. Went to have breakfast at Kovan hawker centre, before proceeding to the farm

As usual, the very old pelican is still alone in his enclosure ....

Peacock walking here and there .... looks old as well


Uncle, are you taking my photo AGAIN ???? I want to feed the fishes, do not disturb me !!!


Joel's little sister, Camille .... maybe the weather was too hot and humid .... Camille just refused to smile for Daddy ....

Time to feed the rabbits .... at least Joel agreed to feed the rabbits .... most of the time, he refused to feed the animals or go near them (other than the fishes, ducks and geese)
I just loved feeding the rabbits ... but the way they nibbled the carrot, really use a lot of force ... tried to hold the carrot tightly but always failed .... even a rabbit has more strength than me ... ha ha

See me and Joel both in action ....

Saw 3 mummy rabbit gave birth to baby rabbits .... and some of them do not even have any fur on them .... really small and fragile !!!!


Next station, the ducks and geese. This time, we used bread as food .... threw the bread into the water, while we watched intensely how the ducks gobbled up the food



The geese were pretty violent when it comes to snatching food from us .... in fact, both the geese had to fight for the single piece of bread




Feeding the goat. Since Joel refused to go near, so I had to feed it alone




A new addition to the farm .... the last time Daddy and Mummy brought me there, the horse was not there. Daddy bought some hay to feed the horse. When the horse nibbled on my palm for the food, the touch was quite good, feels soft and no saliva from the mouth at all ....
Daddy decided to have a go at it also



After the animal farm, we went to the mushroom farm, which is just less than a minute drive down the road. This time, we managed to take a look at how the mushrooms are grown and cultured. Best thing is, the place is air-conditioned !!!! See rows and rows of mushroom ...




Shitake mushroom .... but from China. The person in charge explained that the shitake mushroom grows on sawdust logs. Preparing the logs takes 12 weeks since they have to be fortified with nutrients .... the shitake mushroom typically takes a week to grow and then can be harvested.

See the white spots on the mushroom head ?? They symbolize freshness ....

Temperature and humidity has to be right ....


Taking a family photo for remembrance sake ....


And for the first time, Joel FINALLY smiled !! And the reason is the place is air-conditioned and clean, unlike the animal farm ... ha ha.

The 3 kids together .... dun worry, the mushroom farm is still intact ....
