On May Day holiday, my sis and I took her trusty engine-red moto on an all-girl Vespa road trip to Choa Chu Kang. It was the second time Piaggio has kindly organised this, and what great fun we had being part of an all women-sisterhood motor mob - flashing our cool green Vespa tops, sunglasses and heels. A traffic stopper indeed. The sun was blazing down on our helmets and backs even though the landscape was greener and fresher in the lush far west end of Singapore. We fleet past neat rows of graveyards, open fields and forests bfore seeking respite at the first stop, Qian Hu Fish Farm.
At 11am, it was bustling with visitors admiring the wonderful displays of exotic tropical fishes. There was a 'fish spa' (no trout slapping massages) but rather 2 small ponds ladden with a breed of cute fishies who would supposedly nibble on your feet and leave you with baby-smooth soles. It was a weirdly enjoyable sensation - like little puppies/kitties licking you to fits. As I sat squirming while my sis giggled and gasped uncontrollably, I thought what a cool tagline it'd be - "Have you Feet the Fishes today?" Hehe.
We moved onto Bollywood Farm for an organic lunch at the very packed cafe where the owner Ivy entertained guests with her warm greetings and antics. We were here 3 years ago and it was great to see that the farm has flourished further and more trees and plants had taken root and bore fruit. Such is the joy of a sustainable business. We tucked into different banana, vegetables and chicken curries, fried leafy vegs, papaya salad with lots of rice - followed by mounds of delicious banana bread and tapioca kueh. Hmmm.
Later that day, V and I went to meet a potential framing sponsor for the cat exhibition. As we sat there presenting our concept, the affable albeit a tad eccentric lady was shaking her head at last year's plain black hard-paper frames, saying 'No, no, cannot use these, very cheap looking. Let me surprise you." Which means she'd be sponsoring the frames of the 40 photos - hooray! - but I was a little fazed by her "surprise". We were sure she'd know what she's doing since she runs a thriving frame designing gallery. The final photos have been sent to print and looks like we're all set for the preview party too!
