All About Your Child

Ling passed me this tag. Thank you girl! I think I’m more like the DOG! *laugh*

Four places I go over and over:
– my house, my in-laws’ house, the coffeeshop behind my block and my boy’s school (though I’m taking a long break for the next 5weeks *wink*)

Four people who email me regularly:
– I don’t have a particular person whom I consider a ‘regular’ (i.e. daily) But I do receive emails from groups like (I’m such a rule-breaker): –

the infamous Spammers, the auto notification from mommies’ Forums, the auto notification from Facebook and then there are these groups of ‘unknown companies’ who kept asking me to consider their penis-enlargement pills, no matter how many times I tell them I don’t have one! *laugh*

Four of my favorite places to eat:
– my MIL’s home-cooked food, Jacks Place, Sakae Sushi and the McDonalds at Tea Garden.

Four places you’d rather be:
– Japan, Africa, London and Egypt

Four TV shows I could watch over and over:
– Oh dear! I know I broke a rule already, can I break another? I guess I can… cos’ the TV shows I could think of, I can’t remember the English name for them. So can I strike off ‘TV shows’ and replace it with ‘MOVIES’ : –

The Never Ending Story, Face-Off, Speed and Little Mermaid (Disney)

Four people I think will respond:
– Suhanya, KiNiGu, Sandra and 3lilangels

We were disappointed when we knew we had missed the milking session in our previous visit to the Hay Diaries Goat Farm. So this morning all 4 of us were up early at 8am… the boys were so eager to go, it wasn’t a problem to get them ready at all.

Some of the teats were so huge, it couldn’t quite fit ‘nicely’ into the pump and the men had to use their hands to express some milk first before its ‘small’ enough to fit into the automated pump.

What amazed me was when one batch has been pumped dry, the in-charge would unlock the gate and the goats know their way back ‘home’ without being guided by any human, as the next ‘unpumped’ goats took over the ‘stage’. Wow! Throughout the session, my boys were so full of questions, “Mommy, why this and why that…” or “Papa, how come this goat do this and do that…” *laugh* They enjoyed it! Yeah!

Their very first taste of goats’ milk. Hmmm…. they didn’t like it as much as their Dumex milk powder. After one sip, Mommy had to finished the rest of it, ‘cos Papa dislike the smell. Luckily the bottle isn’t that big. Anyway, its just S$2, how big can the bottle be…*eyes rolled*

This time I was ready to spend more (time & money) on the feeding. Instead of getting one miserable packet of grasses, I bought 2 packets ~ S$4.

I was happy even though I spent S$6 at the farm… the boys had a great time! After the feed, they even requested to stay for a while longer to look at the young goats playing around with each other.

But I wasn’t that happy when I saw what happened to a familiar ‘Grandpa’ goat I met during our previous visit.

There was a huge lump hanging on his neck. It was as big as a tennis ball and the skin had split opened, like the way you would cut your orange, revealing the red-sore-flesh under that thin skin… *Ouch*

I wonder if it was a tumour…. hmmm… I wonder how painful can that be…. *frown*
