hmm...ytd was a 2 part class outing..haha. wanted to blog ytd, but was too tired...first was this farms trip led by mr lim...first we went to the goat farm...soo cool. saw how they milked the goats, n i learnt that goats milk is alkaline...haha. they can produce milk up to 6 months after conceiving, and have a lifespan of 12 years, 10 of which is used to produce milk. the owner says they try to avoid inbreeding by importing and selling the male (aka bucks) goats each time they mate. otherwise the offspring will become retarded. lol...
then we went to the barn...touch the young goats (aka kids)..their fur is soo soft. and we fed them with some hay. there were the larger ones also, and some of them have very beautiful fur...
we saw one shitting. it was like this meat ball producer, the anus opens and these small black rounded hardened shit balls come out...lol. or u can say it looks like something which lays eggs when standing up. it is soo cool. then we learned that these shit are sold at $20 per kg to vegetable farms as fertilizers as these shit are organic. cos the food the goats eat are organic...didn noe shit can be so profitable...lol.
then before we left, we received chocolate flavoured goats milk. and me marcus jia min jin quan and zhi hao bought the non flavoured one...i saved the choco one for wilson n company for the second part of e class outing (cos i didn like it) and drank the non flavoured one on the bus. i think it tastes slightly diff from cow's milk...i don really know how to describe, but it just doesn have the distinct taste of cow's milk, and is blander...
next up was the bullfrog's farm...we went to see the frogs...and we saw some mating, cos they were on top of each other, and they were some who were orging, cos there were four frogs lined up, on top of each other. i don realli noe how to describe...one was on top of the other, and the third was on top of the bullfrog on top of the first...and so on...haha.
at first we thought that they weren mating. cos frogs was external fertilization. then we realised tt they were bullfrogs, n was fertilized internally. haha.
then mr lim did a crazy thing. he picked up two frogs, jia xuan carried one n marcus carried another. eewwwww...its so gross. i didn want to carry, so i touched e one marcus was carrying. the skin, surprisingly, is v soft...n v nice to touch.
some others carried, and then a few bought tadpoles...to rear and then eat them when they grow older. hmm...
then...i cant rmb what farm we went. we were supposed to go to croc's farm, but e owner wasn around...so..that's too bad.
for all i can rmb, we went to this vegetable farm. we watched a darned long video, and then there's this guide who brought us around. this guide's eng was terrible, i am not sure he has a jap or hong kong accent, but aft hearing his chi i deduced tt he was from china.
anyway no one understood wat he said, so we didn realli listen. the farm was basically growing vegetables (lettuce) by e method of aerophonics, where the roots of the plants were not in soil. but was sprayed by this nutrient solution at 30 sec interval. this wld increase the nutrient (mineral salts) and water intake and thus the plant will grow better...quite true.
then was the organic plant part...smelled some horrible smelling herbs. yuck.
then before we left, we bought this drink, known as lettucino. its no coffee, but it tasted quite nice. there was only one bottle left, so i was e onli one who bought it. we were given each a packet of organic veg also...lol
aft this we went to this fish market which sold fish tt can be eaten..saw how they slaughtered fish...i was ok with it, cos i seen it before. then went to koi farm, n headed back to sch...
aft tt marcus made mr lim open e class for him, cos he lost his chem tys n might have left it in sch....but he didn manage to find it. hope he can find it at home...
in e meantime i collected phy stuff...
then marcus n i went to eat ljs, then changed and spent an hour in bw lot 1 n the lrt station...we talked abt history stuff(russia included), religion...sth along tt line. an hour flew jus like tt.
it was a memorable time. i enjoyed it.
then we met up with boo, caslin, perlin,valencia, jasvin n zhi hao...went to warren country club, played badminton n table tennis for abt 2 hrs plus. had tons of fun, even if i didn realli noe how to play...learned quite a bit.
then had dinner...talked abt the supernatural during dinner..then aft tt we were all soo scared to go home..haha.
aft dinner we went back, n i got home abt 9 plus...
had a wonderful time...
well...today. realised tt my jr from co expect a lot frm me. n i vowed not to disappoint them ever again...lol.
n maybe, hz has realli changed. i am still skeptical abt it, but he thanked me for my concern over sth which i think he won...
i wonder...
