Jurong Frog Farm

56 Lim Chu Kang Lane 6 (Tel: +65 6791 7229)
Upon arrival, we only see a couple of people playing cards. Never strike us that it is a frog farm!

The frog are located on the right, with breeding area on the left. There are fishes, turtle at the back of the farm.

Huge pond but we are not sure if they are breeding any fishes.

Breeding ponds with coconut trees, a must have for a rural setting.



The frog are kept in compartments. With $1, you can purchase some pellets to feed the frogs. The trick is to throw the pellets about a feet in front of the frogs and they will leap for it.

sun tanning or gone!

spotted a bag of them, reckon for delivery

strolling down the breeding alley!

Dairies Goat Farm @ Kranji Countryside

Hay Dairies Goat Farm @ Kranji Countryside. Goat Milk is sold at the entrance and there is milking session between 9am to 11am. You will not be able to feed or touch the goat here.


Living conditions seems pretty good, spacious with huge fans mounted on the roof frame.

This is as close as you can get to the goat.

oops, caught in the act!

Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve

Website. Not actually the best place for a family outing considering the scotching heat! We were told that we need 4-5 hrs to cover the premises.

There are observation hides scattered around the reserves. Good as shelters but you need some serious binoculars to see the birds!

Our good old neighbor is actually not too far away! Your mobile starts to roam here!



One of the 2 platforms along route 1.





Rhizophora sp.

There are lots of flora among the greens!

Smell of Crocs

3 days of crocs sales at the Expo.

Everyone in the family gets a pair. They are actually rather lasting, considering we are still wearing what we got the previous year.

Her 3rd pair, got a slightly bigger size as they tend to outgrow them fast.

ITShow 2010

Wanted NOT to visit this year IT fair but ended up going down to get some hardware for office use. The fair tends to grow bigger every year and there are also record breaking crowd by the year. Thus it is either there are really good bargains or we Singaporean are running out of places to go!

Checking out the Nikon booth before going for the serious stuff.

At 3pm, more crowds are coming in and will peak at 8plus, before the big discouts kicks in before the fair closed!

Sunday Zoo

It's pretty late when we arrived at the zoo, in fact we are never early!
There's this lone kangaroo roaming out of the barrier and there's no keeper around!

Under the walking platform...

马来貘, Malayan Tapir

My favorite, the Baboon Enclosure.

Started to drizzle at 5pm and we took shelter at the tiger enclosure....and the white tiger decided to take a dip. A first sigh after many visit.

rain does wonders...

The need to Gamble

For all the God of gamblers, that's a 2 hours+ queue to get into the casino @ Resort World Sentosa. The casino opens its door on 12 Feb 2010. The queue start from the Bull's Ring (top) and all the way down to the entrance. The catch! Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents pay a $100 levy to get in!
