Halo.. Haha.. It's the second day of the zoo attachment.. Hmm, I should I say the day started well but it ended abruptly for me.. And yes, it's early in the morining and I reached AMK station at 8am exactly.. And went to meet up wtih Jia Jun, Qun Jie and Chong Wei as they had arrived early.. Haha.. However, Samuel Cheong was no where to be seen.. He was early by half an hour today.. Will he be late by half an hour today? We hope not.. Haha.. He was late by a few mins.. And we decided to play a prank on him.. Wah, we are so bad.. We hide at somewhere and Samuel Cheong called us when he reached our usual meeting place.. Then we told him on the phone " Hello Samuel ah, wah u are so damn late leh.. We are already at zoo already leh.. Why u so late?? U noe thsi morning got one animal escape from the zoo then the zoo SOS everyone including the volunteers to go back zoo ealy and we woke up at 5am man!! U so late ah.. Too bad, take ur bus urself.." Hahahahahha... Tt was so funny and cool.. Haha.. Then he sound shell-shocked and blamed us for leaving him out.. Haha.. He didn't noe we were playing a prank on him.. Hahaha..=X
Then we tailed him till the bus interchange.. But he saw us tailing him.. Wth!!! Mission failed!!!>< Haha.. And we reached there on time at 9am but had to wait for the girls from VJC to arrive before we went to sign in our passes..
And we started work only at 9.30am.. Yeah and I got to noe three new zookeepers' name.. They are Hamzah, Andrew and Thomas.. Haha.. I arrived at my venue but they had already done all the food preparation so I dun have much things to do.. Wah, next time dun wan be late already.. But there still things for me to do man.. And I had a new job to today.. A female antelope by the species name of Nyala had given birth to a baby Nyala.. And my job in the morning is to watch over it to see if the baby Nyala is being accepted by the mother Nyala.. I watch over it for 3 long hours before going for my lunch man..=X And one and a half hours was seeing the mother Nyala licking its baby Nyala.. It had to lick it as the baby Nyala body is filled with dirty materials after coming out of the mother Nyala.. So the mother Nyala had to lick it clean.. Cos in the wild, if the mother Nyala don't clean the baby Nyala clean, it will arouse the attention of its predators.. So not only do the mother Nyala had to clean the Baby Nyala, it had to teach it to stand and walk within a few hours..
In the wild, if the baby antelope is not cleaned properly and learnt how to walk within 2 hours, it will be easily be preyed on by predators.. And their chances of survival is slim though.. X.X
Haha.. Then spent the whole morning watching over the baby Nyala and mother Nyala.. I have to observe whether the baby Nyala suckle the mother Nyala milk.. If it do suckle, tt means the mother had accepted the baby.. Haha.. =D
And one interesting fact about Nyala antelopes.. A male Nyala have horns while a female Nyala do not have horns.. And a male Nyala can mate with more than one female Nyala.. Tt is cool.. Haha.. I think if humans were allowed to do this, all men will go wild man.. Muahaha..=X
And yes, it's lunch time and we ha dlunch at Ulu Ulu restaurant.. Had fried rice today and I asked for more cos ltr in the day got lifesavings.. So muz eat more.. Hahahaha.. =X
Next something very eventful happen.. Hmm should I say tt it's eventful? I guess so.. Cos Im the so called main actor.. Muahahaha =X
The stupid Thomas lar.. Ask me wad walk along a slippery and thin path of walkway to get into the antelope exhibit.. Crap.. I thought volunteers can't go in man.. Then he say never mind juz walk over.. Then the path was so high and slippery lor.. And my boots was rather big and wet at that time.. So when I climb up the path and tried to walk to the antelopes exhibit, I lost my balance and fell into the pool of murky water!!!!!Wth!!! It's like shit man!! So unlucky..X.X
Then my jeans were stained with mud from the murky water.. My shirt and underwear oso havce man!!! Wah, fall down tt time so paiseh lor.. Lucky not much ppl saw it.. Anyway, it's cool to an "actor".. Muahaha.. ^^
I was a total mess man.. I looked like a fool man.. Even my jeans were stained with algae.. Lucky I brought ewxtra T-shirt and a shorts with me.. I was riding my lucky as I didn't suffered injuries to my face and legs.. I was wearing jeans at tt time.. So phew!! A lucky escape..=)
But my hands aren't so lucky man.. A very long cut on my right hand and some injuries on the left hand.. Wah, blood was ozzing out man.. Damn pain lar.. Haha.. Then quickly went back to office to clean myself up and change into new clothes.. I wore a new T-short and zookeeper Thomas borrowed me his jeans.. Haha.. So cool.. And then dumped my dirty clothe sinto the washy machine in the office to wash before drying it in the dryer.. Haha.. I thought tt was fun cos I thought I got to get my filty clothes washed by my mum and if she noes tt, I will surely be killed man.. Hahaha.. THANKS Instructor Thomas.. Haha.. And all the info abt the antelopes..^^
Then next we had area cleaning in the Rhino enclosure.. Haha.. Clean it so thoroughly until my hands got blisters man.. Haha.. After cleaning it, we had our tea break..=)
Next, is the giraffe feeding!!! Yays.. So fun and so cool.. Haha.. And after my feeding, my day at the zoo ended.. Haha.. And we went to KFC to eat somethings before going back home..^^
Its home sweet home for my friends but not for me.. I had lifesavings at 6pm but only started to leave the zoo at 5.40pm.. Haha.. Even though I hurt my hand, but I still got to go man.. Haha..
