Hey all, today first day of zoo attachment.. Was so excited abt it this morning.. Haha.. I guess my mood was not deterred by the recent killing of a man by a white tiger in the zoo.. Haha.. Woke up at 6.30 this morning.. So early right?? No choice cos got to reach there by 9am.. Then met Qun Jie, Chong Wei, Jia Jun and Samuel at AMK stn.. Was second earliest.. Samuel Cheong is crazy man, reached there at 7.30.. Haha.. Others reached there at 8am.. Then took 138 to zoo.. =D

Reached there at 9.15.. Wth!!! =X Late for 15 mins.. But nv mind, others were late too.. Haha.. Then went to the corporate office to have a briefing.. Then waited there for quite some time cos two schools nv send in their application forms.. Then waited for another 15mins.. Then when everything was settled, two schools were left cos the other two schools cant start their attachments without submitting their application forms.. Then we five were separated man..=X

Samuel and I did our attachment in the zoo while Qun Jie, Jia Jun and Chong Wei did theirs at the Night Safari.. Haha.. Then Samuel and I got separated again cos we got to go to our respective venues..I went to the White Rhino while he went to the Fragile Forests.. Actually I wanted Reptiles de man.. But someone took it liao.. Haha.. =X

Then was dispatched to my venue.. Then when I reached my venue.. I thought the place was wth yucks!!! So dirty and dark man.. Haha.. But I got used to it after some time.. My day there started with the washing of fruits to feed the animals..

Next I did some labour work where I had to bring some stuffs aroud the zoo.. Wah first time using a wheel barrow man.. Quite tough to use initially but got used to it after a while.. Then brought leaves back to the rhino enclosure..

Next is breakfast for rhinos.. Haha.. My instructor Azmi then fed the rhinos with hays.. He was so violent man.. He threw a stack of hays onto the rhinos.. Haha.. But the rhinos were kind.. Didnt attack the instructor..=X Haha.. Not like the white tiger when it was agitated by the man and went to killed it man.. X.X

After that, it was feeding time for the giraffe.. Haha.. I thought I was only suppose to take care of the rhinos only.. I didn't thought I would be given a chance to go and take care of other animals man.. Haha.. Then took cut some carrots and sweet potatoes with me to the giraffe exhibit.. In fact, I wasn't really there to feed the giraffe.. It's tt Im there to prepare food for people to do giraffe feeding.. The cost of giraffe feeding is ex man.. 5 bucks man.. And only 7 pieces of cut carrot and 3 pieces of cut sweet potatoes.. I noe it cos I packed it onto a tray for the visitors to feed the giraffes.. Muahaha..

But tt doesn't meant I do not have the chance to feed the giraffes.. Muahaha.. At the end of the visitors feeding period, I had the chance to feed them.. Haha.. The giraffe's tongue is the most flexible and longest of a living animal in the world man.. It really long man.. Their tongue I think can be as long as 20cm to 30 cm man.. Very very very long...=X

And yes, I took a picture with the giraffe while feeding it.. Haha.. Oh my god btw, the giraffe dirtied my hand with its saliva.. Yucks!!!>< When I was feeding it with carrots, it's tongue go lick my finger.. Eeeeeee...=X

Initially I thought it wanted to bite me so I quickly retaliated.. But it wasn't... Phew!!! TT
But my hand was dirtied with its saliva.. And the giraffe saliva is like glue man.. So sticky.. =X

Next was lunch time.. Haha.. Lunch was provided.. Yays yays.. ^^ The lunch was simple but enough to fill up my stomach.. Haha.. =)

Then it started to rain heavily.. This is the time where Im bored to the core.. Waited for 1 and a 1/2 hrs for th erain to stop before we are back to work..

And we started work at 2.30pm.. I guess this is going to be the most adventurous part of today's attachment.. We went to clean the Rhino exhibit.. Haha.. Before we can start cleaning it, we had to usher the rhino back to its enclosure..

And after that, guess wad job Im assigned to???? I got to clean up the rhinos' poo!!!! wth!!!! First day there jiu so pathetic already.. But their poo is not smelly actually as rhinos mainly consume hays and wad they normally apss out is hey only that it is like big and large balls made up of hays.. Haha.. But then their poo is of a very large quantity!!!=X

It's a hard time clearing their poo man.. Cos there's alot of them as rhinos really eat alot.. Haha.. Then after that went to clear up the hays in the exhibit before placing new food there.. Haha.. =X

As the day is approaching to its end, I still had quite some thing to do.. First, I went back to help clear up the leaf litter lying along the pathway of the Rhino enclosure.. Haha.. Then at 3.45pm it's the giraffes' feeding time again.. So went to the giraffe exhibit to feed it.. Haha.. Yays!! This time it never stain my fingers with its saliva.. Haha..

And at around 4.30pm, my day ended.. Haha.. Then went back to corporate offcie and sign out.. And btw I had " lifesavings" today man.. When I board bus 138, it's already 5.45pm.. My class was suppose to start at 6pm.. Wth!!!! Initially I wanted to take the bus back to AMK then take mrt to YCK for lifesavings.. But I noticed tt time was running out for me so decided to alight at AMK library instead.. And ran to YCK swimming complex.. Wah so tired man.. And guess wad happen next!!! This really pissed me out man!!!><

My swimming instructor didn't come, he go paktor wioth his girlfriend!!! WTH!!! He said he sent the wrong msg to us.. Ytd, he sent us one msg which read " Tmr 6pm".. Then when I called him today he said he wanted on Tuesday and realised tt he had sent wrong!!! Walao.. Angry man.. He said he wanted to sent us the msg "Tue 6pm" but instead sent "Tmr 6pm".. WTH!! They are so different man.. Haizs.. Wasted trip to the swimming pool.. Wste my energy and money and time to go there.. Tmr muz go back swimming pool again.. =X

Nonetheless, Im excited abt tmr's zoo attachment.. Zzzzzz.. So tired now.. I think i got to have a rest now.. I shall blog tmr abt my zoo attachment again.. Seeyou..=)
