Bollywood Veggies, that is.
I was on leave from work two Fridays ago (July 24), and Joan suggested going to a farm for a breath of fresh air. (We all know how small Singapore is) She'd learnt about the farm through a friend, so off we went, on a early Friday morning into the Singapore countryside.
There is a free shuttle bus service that runs from Kranji MRT to the various farms in the Kranji cluster, but here's the catch: it runs every 1.5 hours only. We made it on the first bus at 9am just by a whisker, and got to the farm at around... 10am? (can't quite remember, too lazy to check) The bus driver was a man called Larry, and he was quite chatty, introducing the Kranji farms to us during the ride.
The owner, Ivy Singh, was a very interesting person to talk to. As we were eating our breakfast at the cafe (we were the first visitors that day), she told us of the farm's struggles to get started, her brushes with the law (she was due to appear in court the following week for some complaint filed against her by a gov agency) and how Joan and I have the same type of smile (lol). Then work came in the form of a group visit and she left us to explore the farm on our own.
Here are three of my favourite shots:

All taken with my trusty 60mm. The first two shots were taken with an SB900 to camera left. The third was taken with natural light. No tripod, so a relatively compact flash unit is your best friend in such a situation.
After a short 1hour-plus jaunt around, we sat down for lunch at the farm cafe (there were a few other diners around, surprisingly!). Had banana curry, bamboo leaves and papaya salad with brown rice. Nothing too fanciful but it was probably the healthiest meal I had in a while.
