We went to the frog farm today!!!
I was so apprehensive about meeting these yucky amphibians, I could almost imagine their slime all over me. I wore pants today just in case any frogs wanna get nasty with me.
My pupils were all so excited. They were literally crazed on the idea that they will be allowed to touch the frogs.
I thought the bus ride was horrible. Luckily on my way there, I had Maisarah who took my mind off the motion-sickness. But on our way back, I wasn't so lucky.
Watched a documentary on Frog Farming at the screening there. I was quite pleased with the familiar jingle of "Hey Singapore!". Remember that TV show hosted by Lisa Ang? Oh she was so youthful and pretty in the documentary. Wonder how she's doing now.
Anywhow, we visited the Mating Pond. Was surprised to learn how familiar the mating process of the frog begins. I also learnt that frogs choose their mates. Adult males are usually more attractive looking so they can attract the female to mate. The female frog also has the right to reject. If a male frog "mounts" on a female and she doesn't like it, she would kick him away. And the male will have to hop along to find another. Funny how I find this hugely similar to the human culture.
They breed the biggest American Bullfrog there and they can actually grow very bif. Heard the biggest American BUllfrog weighs more than 30kg and is found in the Amazon. They are also called "Raincallers" as they are known by some old folklore as so when they croak.
The frogs aren't so hungry so when we fed them, they weren't so interested.
On my way back, in the bus, I felt so nautious and sick. But my girl had to do the honours. She puked and the smell makes me wanna puke. Poor me had to help her clean herself up. I felt soooo sick. Uweekkkk.... Grand Finale.
Ok I'm gonna catch an eye before cca starts . Siens.
