The month gone by

Looks like my updates are becoming increasingly sporadic but I've got good reason - it's been a busy busy month. Even with my SATs and uni apps, it's been wryly happy with stuff like cable ski-ing in batam, to visiting the ulu Hay Dairies goat farm in Lim Chu Kang which might as well have been overseas as well.

So cable ski-ing in batam with hz, mervin, wei liang, wen hao (and his friend) was good and here's a photo that hasn't been shared cause it was taken by the ski park ppl's camera:

And the Hay Dairies goat farm was interesting despite the travelling time being longer than the visit time. I finally tried goat's milk which in a word tasted flat, and learnt that the after the poor goats spend their whole life producing that and kids, they either end up on the operating tables of our hospital for educational purposes or get shot by the men in green testing out new weapons. There was also a surprise discovery about a certain anatomical property of a male goat but that's another story.
Happy people and not so happy Goats

Coming back to a more urban part of Singapore, there was also a visit to the Land Transport Gallery which I must say exceeded expectations. It was a short tour of about 40 mins but the presentation was fantastic! and it was rather cool to learn about the difference license plates we have... betcha didn't know there's an RD license plate for cars undergoing testing! Other photos are on fb but these 2 are worth putting side by side.
Never think it's too dark to see your license plate.

Further back in the month there was also a prawning trip at ECP which was a nightmare for the prawns what with our luck that night, but this entry has been long enough.


I just dropped by to make sure that as I get ready for my SATs II, ORD and uni apps I don't forget the wonderful month gone by where I revisited old places, checked out new ones and tried new stuff. 8 years ago I said that "besides memories, what's gone never returns so don't dwell on them." 8 years on I still agree that once gone the past doesn't return. Except for memories, and now may I add words and photos. Yes photos. Call me a cam whore but deep down I know you're one too. =)
