A Visit to Quan Fa Organic Farm


So glad to bring the my entire clan to visit an Organic Farm in a quaint part of Singapore. On the way to the farm, the kids were like 'What?' 'Why?' 'No Aircon!' Typical City kids who never stayed in a kampong before. Anyway, it would be a good opportunity to expose them to the rural rustic side of Singapore.


It was not just an experiential journey for the kids, but also a sensory one too. Kids could smell, touch and understand the entire planting process.

Hmmm.......
 
Tasted the organic vegetables too. Never knew Lady's finger could be so crunchy and not slimey at all.
 
 No pesticides were used in Quan Fa Organic Farm. All insects were stuck onto this panel.


Quite tasty though

Freshly plucked Radish. So pretty
 
How could I not have a selfie with this Bouquet?
 
 JJ patiently explained the how the different vegetables were being grown organically

 My usual style
 
 Neatly lined crops
 

 Lovely bitter gourd!
 
 Lady's Fingers
 
 Couldn't help but had to snap and snap  #nofilter pictures
 

Eggplants!
 



Fertilizers; no faeces used. all fruits and vegetables only
 
Farmer hard at work
 
 Our mandatory group shot. Girls loving the experience. No complains even they were being 'attack' by guerrilla mozzies (after using multiple anti-mozzie stickers and spray).
 
 We totally enjoyed our Organic Farm Tour, kudos to JJ, who was so passionate about organic farming. It was like a tranquil retreat brimming with lush greenery. After the tour, we were treated to freshly prepared organic vegetables that left us craving for more.

 It was saddening to hear that this locally-owned organic farm would be gone by 2019 due to urban developments. Perhaps it is time for you to check out this secret sanctuary during the school holidays to experience or reminisce the good old kampong days. Do kindly contact Quan Fa Organic Farm for their various tour timings.

It is a Trick your Eye Museum Day

Trick Eye Museum is not your usual museum. It is an extraordinary museum that comes to life with just your smart phones. No sophisticated technologies deployed, just the clever use of optical illusions that turn a 2-D painting into a 3-D image. I was so excited to be there with a girlfriend, Eve recently.

Check out the fun-filled pictures we took that night. Pictures were all taken with no flash, kudos to the amazing lightings in the museum. Somehow, the lightings made us look so good in the pictures. Now we shall let the pictures do the talking:-P

Yeah we were all ready for to flex our muscles!

OMG!
 
Gone with the Wind? Let's dance.
 
Please, I was not planning to 'kill'

I never realised I could do ballet....

Come on, horsey, gotta win this race

Wasn't this incredible? I could do such a stunt!

Part of it

This was really hard work!

Ariel mermaid....

Riding on the beautiful swan......


If I had wings, I could soar to the skies

Eve, let's go!

I never thought I could be lying on the moon

Sleigh Ride!


Cat meets Puss in Boots

Come on! Let's hold on to one another!

Da Da! I became a synchronised swimmer too.

The Balancing Act....

Another balancing act....I did it!

Help me please!

I could climb the bamboos too, just like a Panda

Never expected myself to try sky diving. Wohoo!

Oh no!

Can someone help? Trapped again!

Have you ever sat on the elephant's trunk without having to worry? You can! Only in Trick Eye Museum!

Eve appeared not just taller, but bigger too... and I?  I was a dwarf at that moment in comparison.

I was in a magic show

So close yet so far.....close shave

Gaining enlightenment....just like in the movies

Hello all!

Oh baby! Don't do this to me!

Finally completed our journey in the Trick Eye Museum. Chilling out time....

Gave ourselves a well-deserved treat in McDonalds. Once inside the museum, we felt like kids all over again. Lots of wacky, muscles stretching, poses......... We felt so exhausted after the visit but it was so fun! Challenges after challenges......we overcame them and felt so proud of ourselves. It was truly an awesome night out.

Will I visit Trick Eye again? Definitely! There will new exhibits periodically and I excitedly look forward to that.

I strongly encourage a visit to Trick Eye Museum, as a choice over a mundane day out to the mall or to the movies. It is more interactive than your virtual games for sure. We need such personal interaction now especially in a world where we whatsapp more than indulging in real conversations.

  • Couples (young/old, even on a first date)
  • Family with young kids or old folks
  • Friends
  • Colleagues

Opening Hours: Mon-Sun 10am to 9pm

Tickets are available onsite.
Adults: SGD$25 (13 - 59 years old)
Kids: SGD$20 (4 - 12 years old)
