Education Farm Visit @ Sekinchan Malaysia (21 - 22 June) and Genting Trip (23 - 26 June)

Another driving trip up north to Sekinchan and follow-by Genting.  Visited some relatives at Sekinchan and they are kind to bring us around for an education farm visit.  Some interesting facts we got was how the name 'Sekinchan' came about.

Sekinchan (适耕庄) - 适合耕种的村庄

Letting the kids understand where their daily cooked rice come from.

Due to the demand of bird nest, people are very creative in meeting the demands.  Commercialise Bird nest Farming.  Built building and pipe in with sparrow's sound 24 hours so ask to attach them to enter into the building to build their nest.

Never done it before - 'Fire Cracker'!

Finally is our usual trip to the cheapest coolest place near to Singapore.  We went into the Snow City in Genting and the temperature is -6 degree.  Feel the cold but the snow are fake.  :(

Will go and experience real snow in time to come.....

Pocari Sweat Run 2013 on 16 Jun

Join this run with my wife on 16 Jun 2013 and this was her 2nd 10km run since we started on Mar this year.  The start and end point was at The Promontory @ Marina Bay.  The route passed by Gardens by the Bay, Marina Barrage and MBS.  The most challenging portion was the route up and down Marina Barrage.  In addition, barriers to divide to and fro for the runners at the barrage were not well divided that causes some hazards for the runners. 
The finished timing target for this run was not met as we finished at 1hr 20min instead of 1hr 8min base on our last Run350 run.
