happy labour day!

and boy did i labour!

i'll post the pics up another day, but today, i headed out with my family for a little excursion. it was all out: my parents, my brother and family, my sis and brother-in-law, myself and even our maid (pity rachel was feverish so she didn't join in). where to? we went all the way up north to the sungei buloh wetland reserve, aka the lim chu kang farm area! goodness it was far. as we navigated past the abandoned railway, past the kranji dam, and negotiating the winding roads that is lim chu kang, we found a few neat little spots. first stop was a veg farm that we'd came across. it was pretty big, but i must admit it wasn't very fantastic for a farm. their crops were as if for display only.

we then headed to the wetland reserve. costing us $1 per adult each, and $0.50 for my little nephew, we took a stroll in the nature reserve. it was expectedly warm n humid. we were pretty much sweating, all of us. but we did spot a few monitor lizards, crocs, birds and i suppose everyone did enjoy themselves. we figure we barely walked one fifth of the whole location! the place was huge! we then found ourselves a bistro to have our lunch in. they were pretty packed, considering the location was in the middle of lim chu kang. but i guess it's because of the public holiday. we had to wait over half an hour for our food... >_> and it was warm. luckily the wind was around. and their kranji fish and chips were pretty alright. my family had ordered a few nasi lemak too, but they had to replace the fried egg which had ran out, with another chicken wing.

the trip was rather enjoyable albeit all of us being warm and sweaty. and guess what? we didn't encounter a single mosquito throughout! so amazing, singapore. all the way into the farmlands and we didn't get bitten. proves how clean this little island is. lol...
