JB Uk farm trip.

In Singapore, there are a few little farms where we can go for some nature or wildlife experience. However, I sometimes feel that they are not "real" enough and too small scale. My mother-in-law had been telling us about this UK farm in Johor Bahru and she had been wanting to bring us there, or rather, bring QQ there. Haha! So we finally went there on a particular weekday which was meant to be hubby's birthday treat.

The UK farm is primarily a goat farm. The farm grows its own vegetables like mushrooms and fruits too. We did a 3 hour tour and stayed overnight at the farm. It was a distance off the main roads, which was great because it means that there weren't many cars, leaving the air fresh!

QQ was super excited about the trip! I had been telling her a few days before the trip to prep her for it. The moment we reached, she wanted to feed the goats and the cows! The grandmother had to bring her to the goats' dorm so that she could finally fulfil her wish. However, there were no cows at the farm. But we saw some along the way out when we went out to search for lunch! So, we stopped our car and hubby took her down for close contacts with some cows. After which, she wanted to feed some horses! She had in mind the animals she wanted to feed!

The tour consisted of a tour to the goats' dorm where we could feed them with the dried grasses that was provided. The kids were fed milk and QQ enjoyed every moment of feeding the kids. She was even brave enough to carry an 8-day old kid! After the feeding session, we were taken to watch how the workers collected milk from the mother goats. My, my.. the pumps sure remind me of the breast pumps I use, but of course they were much bigger and more powerful! If we were to milk the goats manually, we would have to use 7 to 8 mins. But the milk pumps only required 45 seconds!! I need something like that (but not so forceful)! We got a try at goat's milk and I didn't really like. Hubby said it tasted like mutton! The goat's smell was strong!

We visited the ducks, fed the rabbits, some deer and ostriches! QQ had so much fun that she kept asking for food to feed the animals! We skipped the part where they brought us to the orchard because i was very tired!

Overall, thumbs up for the farm stay! Little children would enjoy it especially urban people like us. Too bad XX couldn't appreciate it yet. She slept through most part of the tour, which was great for me. Haha! We would certainly plan another trip when she's much older so that both sisters can go feed together! This was really a great trip because QQ could get up close with the animals!

Cloversoft Baby wipes

Found this bamboo wipe recently on Redmart and decided to give it a try. I've been using a Japanese -brand wipes and have tried a Korean brand before.

The package looks pleasing- green and white, with polar bears. Apparently, Cloversoft is a local company specializing in paper products made from bamboo. The baby wipes that I've bought promised organic, non- toxic and non bleached wipes made from bamboo. Seems like it's the trend nowadays to have things made from bamboo. And besides, the wipes claim to be extra moisturizing. 

The thickness is about the same as the wipes that I currently use. The size is slightly bigger (yeah, there is more surface area for poo poo!).

I've ordered 6 packs and will see how it goes. Have already started using on XX and I like it already. The price is alright too going at $10 plus for 3 packs, quite affordable. I'd probably change to using Cloversoft from now on!:)
