Now now, for our second day at desaru... what shall we do?
Definitely has to be Desaru fruit farm! Which idiot will make a trip to desaru and leave without visiting the fruit farm?
Cactus? No.... it's dragonfruits! Well, dragonfruits are in the cacti family actually....
Wah.... rambutans???
No! It's a combination of lychee, longan and rambutan! hahaha... Sa came up with his description.
our guide decided to pluck one for the youngest of the group, which turn out to be me! Yippee~
Then it was the passionfruit trail. We had unriped green passionfruits hanging over our heads!
Char was given the fruit to try....
And she dropped it almost immediately.
Of course, we had to take another group shot under all the UNRIPED passionfruits!
Breadfruit! Haha, i rmb seeing it on tv. We can't eat it raw. Gotta cook it! But we didnt get to try it at all. sadded.
Err... Buah Long Long? Some icky tasting fruits.... My mum insists that it tastes great in pickled form. I guess so...
One of my most hated fruit, durians.
one of my favourite fruit packed full of vitamin c. Guava!
One of my hated fruits, papayas. These are some roundish papayas.... they're hawaiian. hahaha! The Hawaiian payayas.
Mata Kuching! Jx happily thought that the 'mata' here refers to police. Nope, it doesnt. It's translated into cat's eye. Not, police cat please!
what a lonely pineapple. =(
Yes, that's a pomelo you see hanging on the tree....
We can't get to see much dark purplish mangosteens because they're not in season yet. But a semi purplish+greenish mangosteen is much prettier!
Jambu, or water apple. I dont really like it. It's always tasteless!
this is a not considered very big jackfruit, as according to our guide. that's why jackfruit is the largest fruit in the world.
this is the most orangey sweet corn i've ever seen!
this is the *something something* fruit, which supposedly can help us stay youthful.... But the trick is to not have any facial expression while you eat it. I didn't try it, but seeing the others eating it kinda proved that it's impossible.
And these two guys immediately tried it. Well, hopefully in ten years time we'll see them looking exactly like how they looked like in this photo....
Some coffee(nut) for you?
That's thousand finger bananas. Only for aesthetic purposes, not for eating. Hahaha....
Then we got to the herbs garden.... there were alot of herbs and plants but of course we didnt bother to take each and every one of them. haha!
the thing you put inside one of my favourite food. Laksa leaf!
some pretty cat whiskers or something. It's supposedly good for people with some illness. is it diabetes?
Sa posed with the ribena fruit....
And there're kois at the herbs garden! an awful lot of them vying for food! such a violent group of BEAUTIFUL fishes, yeah tat tong?
This is a very cute 3 weeks old lamb! It resembled the Hush Puppy dog, right?
Yup, that's a croc for you.
eagle? hawk? falcon? oh whatever, definitely not a vulture.
A cage full of chickens, chicks, ducks, ducklings, quails and erm, baby quails? I was sooooooooooooo tempted to bend over and catch one of the ducklings.
Tortoises.... Not turtles. Definitely not turtles.
Turkey! I wanna eat!
Say hi to Mr. Ostrich too! Okay, maybe it's a Ms. I dont know.
And we saw a love-hate relationship between a baby monkey and a bunny!
Monkey: NOooooooooo~ Come back, rabbit! Come back!
Big hug~~ Aww!
This is the box of fruits given to us. =)
Apparently, sa thought it was not enough so she bought one full tub of 3 durians, which cost her only SG 12 bucks! Okay, i'm joking. She's buying it back for her parents. I refused to buy back for my parents because I dont wanna stink.
We planned on slacking at the lounge, but it's not open! *horrified gasp* no choice, we got to buy some food and kill time at the cafe/restaurant instead. After having lunch, we played another few rounds of Bridge. Yup, other than pool, i've spent 200+++ to come desaru to learn bridge. I've learnt it last night at like 3 plus in the morning actually. So I ended up snapping random pics while they taught yh. as compared to yh, i'm a super quick learner, right?
Yup, and we're finally on the ferry back to SG. Home sweet home~
