Summer Koi Farm July 4, 2009
Posted by Joy in : Parks & Nature Trails , add a commentSummer Koi Farm is one of the largest importers and exporters for quality Koi, so we decided to take a drive there to take a look and buy some koi for our pond to keep our lone koi company. Aparently, they also have a “Koi Resort” where you can leave your koi when you’re on holiday! Address: No. 4 Seletar West Farmway 4 (off Jalan Kayu), Singapore 790004. Website: http://www.summerkoi.com.sg/.
We were welcomed by a nice pond of koi at the entrance…
That’s us with koi ponds in the background…

We ended up buying 5 little kois for $100 and they threw in 5kg of salt free.

Clarke Quay June 26, 2009
Posted by Joy in : Festivals & Events, Food & Drink, Waterfronts , add a commentClarke Quay sits on a historical commercial site that dates back to the 19th century. Boldly restored and refurbished into five beautiful waterfront godowns under a climate-controlled canopy with coloured lighting, it now boasts a dizzying array of over 60 distinctive F&B, entertainment, retail and lifestyle outlets.
We made a visit during the Singapore River Festival 2009. This is it’s second year, from June 19-June 27, with exciting lifestyle and entertainment events on and along the river. From Boat Quay and Empress Place to Clarke Quay and Robertson Quay, the whole river comes alive with free events and activities.
We also took a stroll to the field next to Clarke Quay to find people flying lighted remote control kites. the acrobatics were quite amazing and seeing them weaving in and around each other was a lot of fun. Here’s a video - turn up the volume so that you can see them in action with an upbeat musical accompaniment or see it in full screen for more detail
