DAY ONE - GREEN CIRCLE ECO-FARM
the farm owner showing us some very smelly plant.

everyone was gathering outside the farm and it was very crowded.

that's a hibiscus, or morning glory or something.

this is corn. almost every part of it is edible, even the SILK!

all the food in the farm is organic.
DAY ONE - OH CHIN HUAT HYDROPONICS FARM
our tour guide showing us a basil leaf.

the cotton plant is so fascinating.

the farm may look old, but it employs state of the art technology.

these are onions grown for wholesale in markets. they use these to generate extra income.
change is, indeed, all around us. many times, in order for us to survive, we need to be able to adapt to the current conditions at hand. take, for example, the Singapore farming scene. The owner of Green Circle Eco-Farm could not generate any profit from organic farming, so she had to make money from other places, such as importing of foods from other countries and school tours. Also, the Oh Chin Huat Hydroponics Farm is no different. In order to cope with small land areas, they had to go into hydroponics to cultivate crops. Also, they sold onions and other food items wholesale in markets to generate even more revenue.
DAY TWO - NATIONAL MUSEUM OF SINGAPORE

AGON is what keeps the greeks going: a continuous spirit of competition. the man is holding an ancient version of a discus.

this is NIKE [nee-KAY].

this is a copy of the treaty signed between Tengku Long and Raffles.
Throughout the sands of time, many things change too. For example, much has changed since the time of the Greeks. Much of their old beliefs and practices have disappeared from today. The complex Greek Polythestic religion does not really exist today. However, some things still exist today, and are simply changed in order to keep up with modern day practices. The discus has been adapted from the Greek form into what we have today.
Furthermore, change brings about progress. For example, Raffles had to sign the treaty, if not Singapore would not be a British settlement but remain a sleepy fishing village, and it could still be a small town if not for the British colonizing it.
