You can be whatever you want to be=)

There is inside you
All of the potential
To be whatever you want to be;
All of the energy
To do whatever you want to do.
Imagine yourself as you would like to be,
Doing what you want to do,
And each day, take one step
Towards your dream.
And though at times it may seem too
difficult to continue,
Hold on to your dream.
One morning you will awake to find
That you are the person you dreamed of,
Doing what you wanted to do,
Simply because you had the courage
To believe in your potential
And to hold on to your dream.

Work


It is not the hours we put in on the job,it what we put into the hours that counts!

The BIG and the SMALL

+Jamilah,32yr old Asian Elephant+

On our previous Animal Management Course,we were brought out into the field,Elephant section at Night Safari.We were fortunate enough to have close contact with one of our beautiful elephant,Jamilah.

The keepers showed us a few of the behaviours done daily and we were given the chance to feed her one of her favourite food,sugarcane.Elephants are really amazing creatures and i realise that their eyes explain their personality =)



The relationship between the keepers and their elephants are worth to be awed at.We learnt alot.And so they say,seeing is believing..

The next part of the lesson was on Callitrichids,a term used to call all tamarins and marmosets.
They are very small primates of lowland tropical rainforest of Central and South America.
We were brought to Marmoset Complex and Critters Longhouse at the Zoo this time.It brought back fond memories during my early days at the zoo.Fortunately,i still keep all those pictures!

+Eros,our only Golden Lion Tamarin+

+Playful White-lip tamarin+

+Another playful one,Golden-handed tamarin+

+Humprey,one of my favourite Red-headed tamarin+

+Baby Black tufted marmoset+

+Meet the brothers,Phillip and Toby,Cotton-top tamarins+

+Black-tufted marmosets+

+They have this weird fetish towards brooms+

+Those white-lip tamarins again+

+Black-tufted marmosets+

+Really cute!+

+Those were the days at the zoo!+

Looking back i feel fortunate to have started my journey at the zoo.Its surprising that after 2years,all the things that i learnt are still fresh in my head =)
