| Saanen Dairy Goat Farm at Balik Pulau |
Many kids nowadays are living in the virtual world behind the screen. Most of them have isolated themselves with the mother nature and so do I. I have spent most of my time on Facebook and gaming. I still remember the feeling when the first time I visited this Saanen Dairy Goat Farm, I was deeply attracted by the environment at there. It was the first time in my life that I was this close with the goat and that feeling still fresh in my mind.
After finished the mural painting at Sacred Heart primary school, She Fu has came to Saanen Dairy Goat Farm. I cant remember how many times I have went to this goat farm, but one thing for sure is that every time I went to the goat farm, I was so happy and excited.
Due to the narrowness of the path to the goat farm, our bus dropped us at the big field near the entrance and then we all walked to the goat farm.
After a little walk, we reached the goat farm.
Mr. Ho welcomed us warmly and introduced his goat farm to us.
Mr. Ho is a friendly person and he always put a smile on his face.
This is Mr. Ho's goat farm. It is just below his house.
The goats were welcoming us. Er.. I mean welcoming the grass that we are about to feed them..haha..
Mr. Ho was explaining everything about the goats. After listening to Mr. Ho, I have gain some precious knowledge regard the life of goats. Beside Mr. Ho, his daughter is also a good speaker.
The first year students were feeding the goats.
It is me and the goat!
Eason and the goat
Jie Hui and the goat
Elyse and the goat
A first year student and the goat
Cherish and the goat
Showing his love to the goat?
This shy little goat refuse to look at the camera no matter what..haha..
Exercising?
After feeding the goats, Mr. Ho thought us the technique of milking the goats.
At first, Mr. Ho milking the goats with his bare hands. Only after two years, Mr. Ho started to use the machine for milking the goats.
After the demonstration by Mr. Ho, it is time that the She Fu people challenge themselves.
Beside raising goats, Mr. Ho also raised chickens and peacock. There use to be rabbit around but unfortunately, all of them have died.
These two dogs are raised by Mr. Ho's family. The brown colour dog is a clever dog. He will follow quietly by the visitors side to protect them.
This is the cutest dog among all.
Cutie + Cutie
Cutie + Another cutie
Accidentally saw this lizard. I still remember that last time I saw a gigantic spider.
Next is the time for weaving grasshopper and dragonfly.
The first year students were doing it seriously.
This is the coconut leaf that is yet to expose to sunlight. And so, it's colour is light yellow instead of green.
Take a group photo with own masterpiece
And the seniors want a group photo too
This is the grasshopper
This is the dragonfly
This is a ball made by Mr. Ho's daughter
This is a crab and it was made by Mr. Ho daughter as well.
Our last activity at the goat farm is making soap. First, pour in the liquid into one third of the container.
Then, choose the shape you like and put it on the liquid and wait for the liquid to solidify.
Next, drop a few drops of colour pigment on the solid and then pour the liquid on it again. Now, it is time to let our imagination run wild and it is the time to test our skill. We have to draw the pattern we like with a stick before the liquid become solid.
After completing the pattern, pour the last layer of the liquid and it is done.
This is the completed soap.
Mrs. Ho said that in the near future she will give lesson on making the more beautiful soap. Beside making soap, Mrs. Ho also give lesson on how to make Chinese bun.
If you wish to see the mural of the goat farm and want to know how to get to the goat farm, please refer to 短暂的养羊场之旅.
In the end, my camera has run out of battery and I didn't manage to take a group photo at the goat farm. So, this is all for the goat farm, hope you will pay a visit to this goat farm someday.
