Back To Nature

Daddy & Mommy had wanted me to experience the rustic edge in our urban country. So this morning, we went to D'Kranji Farm Resort at Lim Chu Kang. It is situated at a very remote part of Singapore.


Mommy says that it wasn't as "kampong" as where she used to live when she was my age. But nevertheless, we did see some creepy crawlies which were a common sight in the rural.

I spotted a millipede and many miniature centipede-looking insects, but the shop keeper there was telling us that they are harmless unlike the real centipede whose bites are really nasty.




Daddy bought a home-made sour plum ice lolly to relish his childhood. And I got the chance to share it with him. I was melting in the heat, just like the ice lolly.






Most part of the farm seems uncompleted. Like this prawning pond. And many of the retail outlets were also closed. The place really needs some help.





I really like water, so we went to look at the collection of seafood before going for lunch at the seafood restaurant. There was a big fish, almost as big as me!

After leaving D'Kranji Farm Resort, Daddy made a detour and brought us to a very secluded spot, Lim Chu Kang Jetty. This is where the people come to dig for mussels and cockles. There is also a jetty, which caters for boats to the nearby kelongs.


As the storm clouds gathered, we made our retreat and hesitantly left the jetty, to go back to our concrete jungle.
Goodbye Nature!
