Activity: Farmart Centre

On National Day, we decided that we would spend some time outside. We didn't really know where to go but since we were in CCK area visiting a friend, I suggested going to some of the farms nearby.

We haven't been to Farmart Centre before but we have heard of it. For us, we are only interested in the Mini Animal Corner, just to let Irfan see some animals. It's great that they are open on Public Holidays as well, from 9am - 6.30pm.

A big entrance welcomed us. We saw that the eatery was quite happening with some singing by some aunties and uncles. Haha. 

We headed down the steps and walked to a path at the end which leads to the Animal Corner.

We didn't expect it but the Animal Corner really had quite a number of cages of animals, from rabbits to guinea pigs, fish, frogs, birds and 2 mountain goats! Hahah the goats were the main stars of the show because they are very cute and friendly.

We purchased $5 worth of animal food : some leafy veggie, carrots, sunflower seeds and pellet food.

Irfan fed the goats and seem confused. Why these animals taking my veggie and carrots?? (Cos usually we are the ones feeding him, he hasn't learn to offer us food yet)

Anyway, in the end it seems that I am enjoying the trip much more than my baby hahaha. i loveeeee the goats and birds especially. there is a grey parrot (googled : Congo Grey Parrot / African Grey Parrot) who said hello and bye bye to me! Of course he deserved extra sunflower seeds from me <3

Watch the video on my YouTube:

Overall, we didn't expect to have that much fun as it was unplanned. But we're really glad that we did explore the Lim Chu Kang area (we also drove around to some plant nurseries). LOVE TO BE AWAY FROM THE BUSY CITY LIFE DEFINITELY.

And happy 53rd birthday Singapore!

Activity: Singapore Night Festival 2015

The Anooki Celebrate Singapore

By now everyone would probably have known about the currently ongoing yearly night festival. This is the 8th time this event of arts is held in Singapore.The Night Fest will be held for 2 consecutive weekends - 21st & 22nd Aug and the week after, 28th and 29th August.

The guides and pamphlets provide detailed information on the art installments plus lets you know what's going on for the night!

Grab your handy dandy guide books/pamphlets because they're super useful! You can also view or print the online version via their website HERE.

We tried out Momolato's Australian Mango sorbet popsicle. Refreshing!

I brought my sisters for the first week's exhibitions. We did arrive quite late into the night (9++pm) at Bras Basah MRT Station and by then, a throng of crowd had already gathered to watch some performance in front of the Singapore Art Museum. We gave it a pass since there were too many people.

Mirror bombs - So bling bling

The first arts showcase we went to was at the Chapel in SAM. The place was so mesmerising. Lots of people were taking selfies under these lights and from my pic, you could see that most of them were mesmerised by them. LOL

Project Dreamcatchers 2015 illustrates what it's like to live with chronic illness.

The entrance to Project Dreamcatchers was lovely and different as we were guided by a trail of blue paper planes.

Wall of paper planes with was popular for selfies.

Secret Message

We Are Family.

My favourite installment from The Learning Gallery - Once Upon This Island was The Hidden Dimension II. It's a video/animation of a family going about their daily habits until they were interrupted by something which made them all stop at the same time in different parts of the house. You gotta catch the dad taking potato chips out of his mouth as the video loops backwards. XD

Some of my favourite scenes from 'Cabinet'

Titled 'Cabinet', this is one of my favourites. There were these rows of what seem like lockers with holes and light in them. Upon a peek into these holes, there were very detailed scenes. Everyone of them shows an entirely different world. 

'No More Tears Mr Lee' was made with 8000 plastic bottle shampoo caps, a nice play of Johnson's baby products.

Love the handcut design [HDB Corridor - Faster apply for your pie in the sky]

We surrrender! Kidding.

One of the most instagram-ed photo/video are of The Anooki! - these hyper Inuits running across our National Museum. I managed to get my instagram-worthy video as well :p

Our exploration was limited to SAM as we wanted to catch the last train home :) It was something new for my sisters 

Don't worry if you missed it last week. You can drop by again this Friday or Saturday for Week 2's performances. Click here to check out Week 2 highlights!

The museums are also open till late (up till 1am for most) so it will be something different than your usual late night hangouts :) There are also activities, light installations, shows and concerts! For me, I'll definitely be coming again this weekend as I still havent finish exploring and seeing everything. Heh :D

See you all there!
