Qian Hu Fish Farm
Papa and Mama didn't know much about the farms and just followed the information sheet that they've gotten from one of the weekend newspapers some time ago. There were 2 fish farms featured on the information sheet and Mama just randomly picked one. After a long drive, finally we've arrived at the destination and Lyn Lyn goes : Yeah, I go fish farm! Initially, she couldn't relate herself to the fishes at all and was rather reserved when being brought in front of the fish tanks. After a while, Mama tried telling her one of the Spot VCD episode on Spot's outing to the Aquarium to see different fishes and started singing the song, her memory ticked and started to relate to that! She was walking around, looking at different types of fishes and she didn't like the stingrays : I don't like the round round one! When we reach one of the tanks with the sign "These fishes are sick and not to be sold" and Mama told her that the fishes are sick, she looked really concerned and keep asking to go back to see them again...so adorable and caring!
She wondered around the fish farm for a while and we started to find the place a little boring. So we decided to leave this farm and explore further for other farms. After driving away for about a minute, she started asking for the fish farm again and even started crying...we had no choice, but to bring her back to the same fish farm again. She was all jolly and happy again when we reach there and she's specially requested to see the "sick ones"...after seeing the sick ones for a second time, she's more relieved and is willing to go!

After a second visit, we started looking for another farm again. Since Lyn Lyn was asking for the goat farm that she's been to, but it's not around the Choa Chu Kang area, Papa was trying very hard to locate the exact location on the map. Whilst driving out from that area, we noticed a sign : FARMART CENTRE. We thought that there's no harm in taking a look and it was a good decision!
This is actually a central farmer's market, where farmers from the surrounding area can bring their products for sale! In addition, there is this section with an educational theme, where members of the public can see different types of animals, e.g. rabbits, hamsters (huge ones), frogs and even goats! Anyone can just spend a $ to buy some food to feed the rabbits or goats and Lyn Lyn was so excited seeing a Gor Gor and a Jie Jie feeding the goats. She's asked to feed as well! She wasn't scared at all, but enjoying herself so much! She's a fair person and will not keep feeding the same goat. Instead, she will ask to feed the other goats that haven't gotten a share previously.
This is really a very different experience for her and to cultivate her love for animals and be a more caring person!

After feeding the goats, it's time for us to be fed too...it's already lunch time! We've found a restaurant and sat down for our lunch. Lyn Lyn was so hungry and tired that she just wanted to fill her tummy and kept eating plain rice without anything else! After a quick rush of rice-scooping, she's all tired and Papa brought her to walk around the place. When they return, she's already fast asleep! This ended our quest for farms today!
Vivocity
After Lyn Lyn woke up from her long nap, all of us went to Vivocity to find new eating places! Wrong choice...absolutely a wrong decision, as everywhere was packed! It's already 7:30pm and we can't see the possibility of getting a table anywhere by 8:00pm...we were on the verge of leaving, but we noticed that this place called the White Dog Cafe, with no queues at all! We quickly walked over and noticed that they serve pricier western food and immediately understood why. Without further queries, we have asked for a table for 3...Lyn Lyn was so excited when we ordered pasta, pizza and potato wedges! She must be really hungry, as she's finished 3 slices of pizza all by herself! Yum Yum!
After the tummy-filling "exercise", Lyn Lyn was all energetic again and tried looking for other interesting things! As Mama wanted to eat Haagen Daz ice-cream, we went straight there afterwards and this time, Lyn Lyn has asked for a single-scoop cup of strawberry ice-cream!
Eating her ice-cream and feeding Papa and Mama at the same time
After the yummy ice-cream, it was close to 10pm and we went to the last available shopping place : Toys R Us. It was freezing cold in there and we just dashed by the first section quickly...NO, it's just too cold! To avoid Lyn Lyn from catching cold, Papa and Mama quickly brought her to the exit and saw a lot of kids jumping in a circular area and shouting at the TV in front of them! Oh, there's a camera somewhere, capturing the activities of the kids. Mama asked Lyn Lyn to stand there and look at the TVs...she goes : How come? How come Lyn Lyn's on TV? She repeated this sentence over and over again...
She's too much adventure today and it's time to call it a day...we all went home and on the way home, she fell asleep!
