Staycation

Hello everybody, it has been a long time since I last updated my blog.

Now let's get back to the main subject : Staycation

I believe everyone of you out there always want to have a short break from your busy work life, pamper yourself, relax, distress etc etc etc.. But on the other hand some of you are not able to apply leave to get a way for a short trip, therefore we have a STAYCATION and that's what I did.

This is my second time doing a staycation, all thanks to my boy who plan this out for the both of us to spend sometime with each other. For this time round we had a different type of Staycation instead of staying hotel at sentosa or other hotel, we choose a Farm Resort at D'kranji which is located at Neo Tiew which is near Choa Chu Kang, by hearing the location some of you might be wondering where is that place and how do I get there and it would be kind of inconvenience for those that don't have your own transport. But not worry you can always take their shuttle bus to the farm.

For me I took a bike because my boy ride, so we ride there, mentioning of riding I have to say that was my very first time sitting on a motorbike and guess what SUPRISE me is I'm not afraid of sitting bike anymore in fact I like the feeling when I'm sitting on the bike when the bike is moving you feel the wind blowing at you that kind of feeling is so nice and relax.

Okay back to topic..

Once you arrive at the farm there will be 2 entrance one is for those that just go there to relax, have dinner or prawning and the other is for people that is going to stay in their resort. Is very easy to find the entrance for those that is going to check in because you will see a guardhouse yes a guardhouse where you get to check in and check out.

After you check in at the guardhouse the staff will pass you the key and tell you which unit that you will be staying. Just a turn from the guardhouse you will get to see all the unit of house or I should say resort in a row and you can go straight to the unit that they allocated for you. Picture below is how it look like after you turn in from the guardhouse.
Look like staying at landed right. haha.. A unit to yourself just like your own house. Hahaha..

We went to our allocated unit and you can see from picture below that's how it look like once you press the button and open the gate.

Picture below is how it look like once you open up the gate.
A Mini front garden to yourself, a mini parking lot where you can park 1 bike and 1 car.

Once you open up the door room you will see the bathroom, bed room and follow by the balcony.
The room may be small or cramp to some of you but to me I find it nice and cosy to stay for a night stay and is just nice for 2 person stay but for those family not to worry they have a family suit so you don't have to worry that the room is to small.
Do excuse for the messy pillow in the picture. But the bed is a queen size bed and is comfortable. So I find it not bad at all.

Next follow by the toilet,

Look at the picture of the toilet, is just like a mini garden outside and seem like you're showering outdoor among those trees and plants. The toilet is clean and nice as you can see in the picture it look nice in the morning but come to night time you can just look up to the sky and see stars.
Now last but not less the balcony, in the balcony there's a small table and two chairs where you can sit outside drinking a cup of tea in the morning facing the back yard.
or you can chill out at night in the balcony have a cup of wine or whatever drinks you like to drink enjoy and relax.
While staying over there not to worry that you will have nothing to do or just spending whole day staying indoor or so they do have some outdoor activities. Like : Fishing, Prawning, Mini Vegetables farm and you can rent Air-Wheel from them to go round the farm.

For me I choose prawning. Haha.. Because I kind of like prawning although some of you might think that is boring but prawning train your patient because you got to sit there and wait but once you caught it you will feel super happy and that's how I feel that's why I choose prawning BUT the only problem is whenever I caught it I don't dare to remove them from the hook.
Picture above show that I caught a prawn but was actually my boy that unhook for me and hold it and take a picture for me. Hahaha.. Normally we will just prawn for 1 hr and on that day in total we caught 8 prawns and I feel so happy about it.

After we caught 8 prawns in 1 hr for the first time we decided to BBQ it. Most prawning allow their customer to bbq and eat it after that and you can bbq it on your own no extra charge for that.
Setting up the fire.
Look at those 8 prawns they are ready to be BBQ.
Awhile later the colour started to change which mean is going to be cooked and ready to be eaten up by us. Haha.

I still remember during that time while we're there bbq one of the family member there prawning looking at us bbq those prawns and they telling each other " after we catch those prawn we bbq it and eat it too " and while they're saying that I'm looking and smiling at them and they did the same thing smiling back at me.
Tadan look at the prawn is cooked and we are ready to eat it. Haha.. Look at the colour of the prawn is so fresh and it really taste super fresh unlike those you buy it from super market the taste it so different.

Next morning, once we woke up we went for our breakfast. Breakfast is included in the stay so you don't have to worry about it.
Look at this breakfast although is just a simple breakfast that you might think that you can prepare it at home. But when you're having your breakfast at home and during holiday or vacation your mood is definitely different. Just like I always think that simple is nice.  

After breakfast we went to the little vegetables farm to have a slow walk. Sorry didn't take any picture while I'm at the farm. After that at 1pm we have to check out and I start to miss the place. Overall is a nice place and good experience. If I have a chance to go back again I will definitely go back and stay for a night again.

Hopefully this post help or give some of you a little bit of help before you make a decision on staying a night at this farm.

Good day a head and stay on for more post.
