Company Annual Dinner

时光飞逝,转眼间一年又过去了.
今年的员工晚宴率先在新的一年里,掀开了序幕.
和往年一样,智商游戏是少不了的.考眼力 - 数一数罐子里有多少颗糖...考手感 - 一罐放满巧可力的瓶子有多重... 考观察力 - 员工每天所包的蔬菜,经过伪装,的确很考心思...胡董的开场白外加两位美女的有趣的翻译,为晚宴增添不少欢乐.令人垂咽三尺的美食是慰劳辛勤工作的员工... 举杯畅饮,一元复始、万象更新,让我们一起加油吧! 三代同堂???是四代同堂才对! 欢声笑语,其乐融融! 难得欢聚一堂,员工们的互动,使晚宴更添温馨...
饱足后,由农场的金牌司仪裕隆主持游戏项目.吹汽球比赛....踩汽球比赛,比比看,谁的身手比较敏捷...电动马达...老板娘对老板娘.姜还是老的辣...年轻不敌经验丰富的大婶....
另一个有趣的游戏.... 团结一致,合力把球退出人笼....游戏后的不良效应...大家都白白的过了一夜....肇事者当场被捉,也只能一笑置之...幸运抽奖,有人欢喜有人愁...今年的大奖 - 上网本(Netbook),是由金牌司仪裕隆获得.看他喜上眉梢,就知他有多开心!
最后是华人传统的敬酒为晚宴画下句点.

虽然没有五星级的酒店和美食,但却很窝心.有好的开始,希望接下来会更好.
并祝大家身体健健康康,财源滚滚而来,发呀!

St Francis Methodist School

On the 1st of November 2011, St Francis Methodist School visited the Farm for the Hydroponics Tour. Led by Mdm Zuraidah, the group went on an eye opener trail. In fact all the photographs below were taken by Mdm Zuraidah. Introducing a common type of hydroponics - aggregate culture. - in aggregate culture, a substrate is used as a media for holding the plant. The nutrient solution which is usually in another tank, will be dripped into the growing area for the growth of the plant.
Besides aggregate culture, the other type of hydroponics is water culture. In Oh' Farms, the technique used is Dynamic Root Floating hydroponics where the roots are totally submerged in the nutrient solution.The group walked past one of our Farm's delivery truck with the Farm logo spread out on the truck.In the packing centre, the vegetables are processed - the roots are removed leaving the sponge intact. The sponge which holds some water, will keep the vegetable fresh for a longer period of time.The yellowed leaves are also trimmed off before weighing and packing. The vegetables are produced 100% free from the use of pesticides. Eating it fresh is a must try option! The students were encouraged to try it out. A young student trying her hands on harvesting the vegetables. Looks like, she has the potential of becoming a farmer in the future!"If she has the make of a future farmer, I think i have too...""Me too! Me too!" "Me three! Me three!" Striking a post with the beauties, oops... vegetables. The next stop, the Nutrient Mixing Centre. This is the place where the unique blend of nutrient elements are mixed in the right proportion for different types of crop.The first step in hydroponics growing - putting the seeds into the sponge.Next, the seeded sponge is sent to the Germination Room where 3 conditions are controlled to give the shortest time needed to germinate the seeds. Air, water and warmth are the 3 conditions. Germinated seeds are then sent to the Nursery where 2 more conditions are added - 50% sunlight and light nutrient.Once the roots and true leaves develop, the young seedlings are then transferred into the Production Greenhouse. The nutrient tank which is underground, provides the greenhouse with continual supply of oxygenated nutrient solution.The Farm is currently producing 10 types of culinary herbs. The group also gets to taste sweet basil fresh from the production greenhouse.
Last stop of the production cycle - the cold room. This is where the processed vegetables are kept before delivery.
Enjoying a moment of thrill!


As with all the tour groups that visited us, St Francis too, brought home lots of first hand experiences and knowledge of hydroponics!
