+My dear Lisa,i'm anticipating the day you'll give birth!+Before i am able to greet 2008,let me just make some dedications to the people that made me feel thankful for 2007 =)
> Fishing Cat Trail
Haha..i never even expected to be posted to this section.Theres new things to be learnt every single day.Haha..i know i can be such a stubborn monkey at times but thank you for teaching and guiding me till now,though i've done so many mistakes.You guys taught me alot right from the basic of animal care-taking to animal restraint.Thank you for making me independant,wiser and sharing with me all your share of stories.The animals are LOve!i promise to work hard ;)
+Missing:Halim,Razak,Joe,Janice,Marcus+
+My (really) early days at the zoo+
My 1 year of volunteering here was simple memorable and awesome.I learnt so much from you guys!Here is where i really get to see and experience behind the scenes of working with animals.It doesnt just take passion for animals but a whole lot more!I can never thank you guys enough for every single thing!I know i'm not so 'ON' as last time as i have work at night safari and school now,BUT!i'm really thankful that we're still able to keep in touch.I'll drop by when i can.Meanwhile,do take care and have a blessed year ahead!
Marie,though i still bump onto you at work,i do miss those times when i worked together with you.Haha..you're the first keeper that i've worked with!You've taught me alot and i can never say thank you enough.I'm glad that your doing good and (finally) putting on weight!muahahaha..thanks for everything!you've been an inspiration!I did my very first enrichment yesterday!
Actually it wasnt planned at all.
I was preparing food for the bats in the aviary when i realised that theres alot of starfruits.
Thinking that it was christmas,a special occasion,i thought of 'decorating' the aviary using the fruits!
I sliced the starfruits into many many pieces.
Then i slid them through a string together with some bananas.
(muahahaha!xiuting thought that it looked like a hawaii necklace!)
And finally i hung the enrichment!
Tadah!
I know its pretty 'alien' looking but hey!its an original idea!
I stayed behind after work,partly because:
Its been very long since i drop by to the zoo.
I've been keeping in touch with the people at Fragile Forest and its really nice to hear how the animals are doing.BUT!best is to come and meet my animals face to face =)
Haha..i cant tell you how much i miss all my animals!
It also brought back so much memories of my early days at the zoo.
How time flies..but i feel blessed to have been exposed to the animals and people at the zoo and of course now with Night Safari =)
I picture everything like my stepping stones.
There were many road junctions and i had to choose the best crossing to take.
I took no short-cuts for i dared myself to take up whatever challenge i will be put into.
Now,i'm still learning each day,doing the best that i can!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Today is also Peiyun's last day at the zoo.
I've been down with this really horrible fever since tuesday.
It was so painful that i teared.
My head was spinning but i forced myself to complete my last 2 basketball match.
Plus nobody's at home.Booo..
Well,i'm better now!went for a run this morning and felt better =)
The last few weeks were crazy.
I suddenly find myself immersed in alot of thinking.
Not sure if this is called-growth though.
But i find myself happy,frustrated,agitated,excited and the list goes on..
haha..i dont understand whats going on.
Show me the light!hehe..
But i tell myself..lets just enjoy the simple joy of life and live it to the fullest=)
Anyways,i finally spotted the grandis tortoise in the aviary!
I was like so happy when i spotted it.wahahaha..cause its pretty hard to spot them.
Little spotting like this make me SMILE!hehe..
Witnessed some interesting observations of the fishing cats.
AGGRESSIVE behaviour!
I keep wondering when will be the day when i can carry and cuddle my fishing cats..
muahahahaha..
Okays!i have a confession to make!i talk to myself when doing food preparation.
I was releasing the water pool for the mugger crocodile when my attention turned towards the rhino!Haha..she was slowly approaching me while i slowly took a few snapshot of it.I ran 4km in the morning.
I ran 4km again just now..
muahahahahaha!i cant help it.
You know those days when you simply just cant sit still and you feel like doing something good/healthy/fulfilling/....
Perhaps,this is just a post-examination syndrome ;p
I like to run..preferably by myself.
Listening to my favourite music,breathing in the fresh air (i mean it aint that fresh all the time though)..the wind brushing through my face.Ah!Perfect!
Then,i'll feel refresh the next day!Ready for new challenges!wooohooooo!
Back at work,i cant hold my excitement any longer.
Lisa,our binturong is giving birth anytime from now!
I simply adore my animals and moments like these are what i'd usually say-simple joy.
+This happen to be on one of the walls in school..i find it rather cute though.Theres a saying, dont frown,you never know who's falling in love with your smile!+Its been raining crazily!
It gets so cold that i kept drinking hot milo at work!muahahahaha..
Anyways,my exams are over!
I dont have to rush from work to school..for now,at least.hehehe...
Yea!I'll be working in section4 for 2 days!
Its been ages since i worked there.
The Giraffes,Leopards,Sugar Gliders,Oryxs,Zebras,Golden cat,Clouded leopard (the list goes on)..and of course!the people!
Haha..my journey in leopards trail wasnt a complete one.Before i knew it,i was transfered to fishing cat trail.But!things happen for a reason.
It gives me the opportunity to expose myself to many animals =)
