@ Countryside Stables

Last Tues, it was the Wesak Day holiday. Aunty Jenny planned for a day outing to Balik Pulau and it was an ad-hoc plan. Aunty Jenny and her family drove in 2 cars while mummy picked Aunty Su Ching and YY along. We meet up at 9.30am and headed to the Saanen Goat Farm as out first destination. After few wrong GPS signals, we finally reached the goat farm at about 10.30am. Many kids nowadays are living in the virtual world behind the screen. Most of them have isolated themselves with the mother nature and so we decided to have a close encounter with the goats. 

We were given a stalks of grass to feed the goats and even play with the goats. Of course Emeryn distanced herself from the goats as she was scare of them biting her. After the feeding, the owner, Mr Ho explained and showed us the milking process. Emeryn requested for a goat milk before leaving and mummy paid RM7 for a bottle of goat milk. She seems to enjoy every single sip of it. Not far from the goat farm, we made a pit stop at the vegetable farm. It wasn't FOC and it's RM60 per tour for a group of us. We decided to give it a pass due to the fee and also the hot burning day. We then drove to the town and had our early lunch at the food court. After lunch, the kids played at the playground before we continued with our second highlights of the day.

The Countryside Stables will only be open at 2pm and we had plenty of time to kill before that. We drove around the small town and dropped by at the starting point heading to the Hakka Village. To reach to the peak of the Hakka Village, it would takes about 30mins. We gave it a pass as well and then headed back to the Countryside Stables. We were the first customer there. Before going in, we paid for the entrance fee RM5 for adult, and RM3 for kid. We visited the stables one by one before Emeryn requested for a pony ride. Mummy suggested Emeryn to ride on a horse instead of a pony and after much persuasion, we finally gave in. Before the horse ride, we have the chance to snap some photo with a lovely white pony. We paid RM17 for the horse ride of 3 rounds. After the ride, the kids fed the pony with some carrots purchased at the counter. Emeryn had an ice cream before we left. It was an enjoying day trip though we were exhausted. We reached home at about 4.30pm and bought some food home. After a short rest, Emeryn went to her BM tuition as usual.

As for Emeryn's assessment at Adventist, daddy brought her there on Mon while mummy brought her on Thurs. Her last assessment would be next week.
