Saturday:

Last day of work attachment in zoo today.. Feel alittle sad this morning man, cos surely will miss the zoo and the animals there.. I will also never forget the zookeepers who helped me alot lor.. Im grateful for them.. Haha..

Met Qun Jie, Jia Jun, Chong Wei and Samuel at AMK at 8am.. Haha.. Was alittle late as the MRT arrival timing during the weekend was alittle different from that of a weekday.. Haha.. But was on time to meet friends at 8am.. Haha.. Then at Khatib saw two Tanjong Katong Girls' Schools girls, also working as volunteers in the zoo, board MRT.. I thought:" Wth!!! Their sch is in the East then why suddenly they board the train at Khatib!!!???" Haha.. Erm was shy so did not say hi to them.. Haha..=X

Then alighted at AMK and went to zoo together.. Haha.. But we didnt talk to each other cos we also dunno them.. So as usual we men talk in bus.. Haha.. I think our laughter filled the whole bus man.. Haha.. =)

Today our spirit was really high as it's our last day and we want to leave the zoo on a high note.. Haha.. I was hoping that I will enjoy myself tt day and do my work well.. Haha.. We reached the zoo at abt 8.30am and we started work at around 9am.. Haha..

Said good morning to all zookeepers.. I hope I made their morning great.. Haha.. Thomas was the first zookeeper I met.. Haha.. Then he asked me to go to the giraffe enclosure to help zookeeper Andrew do the cleaning.. On the way there, I saw zookeeper Hamzah and Azmi cleaning the zebra exhibit.. Haha.. They didn't notice me man..X.X

Haha.. Then went to the giraffe enclosure.. Haha.. And saw a new guy or shd I say volunteer helping to clean the enclosure.. Haha.. His name was Ran (sounds like my fellow zookeeper Ram). Haha.. Oh yeah, he was on probation and had to do volunteer work.. Haha.. He says he will be there every Sat to complete his probation.. Haha.. He is quite a nice chap and Im able to get along with him well.. Haha.. Made a new friend... Hee hee..^^

Wei Jie didn't come today.. Cos he say he got NCC camp.. Haha.. =X

Yeah, after cleaning the giraffe enclosure, it was tea break.. Haha.. Today was quite slack lar.. Haha.. I think the zookeepers dun wan to make the day difficult to me as it was my last day.. Haha.. Then while resting during tea break, Samuel called me and said he was waitign for me outside my station.. Haha.. Oh my god!! I forgotten I promised him to bring him to the place where we can get free drinks during our break.. Haha.. Then quickly ran out and met him.. Brought him to the place but then no cup for us to have our drink!!!! Wth!! Wasted trip there man.. Haha.. Then we made our way back to our stations.. Haha..

I stayed in the office with the other zookeepers until the token feeding for the giraffe.. Haha.. That was pretty cool.. Haha.. I guess we do not have to clean the antelopes' enclosure today.. Haha.. Then went to prepare for token feeding.. Hahaha.. Wah, today weekend the business for the token feeding not bad lor.. Initially, we thought that the food we prepared was enough.. Haha.. But the business was so good that we need to stop the token feeding once the food runs out.. Haha.. And the food ran out pretty fast, in abt half an hour.. Haha..=D

Then went back to the my station after the feeding to do some sweeping there.. Haha.. Then after that had a rest in the office until lunch time.. Haha.. Today's work is quite relax lar.. Haha.. Didnt perspire tt much until in the afternoon.. Haha..

Had lunch at Ulu Ulu Restaurant.. =)

After lunch was the Rhino feeding.. Haha.. It was fun man.. Haha.. I lovefeeding the rhinos as they look so cute when they are munching the fruits which we gave them.. Their lips are really big and thick.. Hmm Hmm, I guess because of this, rhinos can't get to kiss like humans, let alone french kiss.. Muahahahahah..=X

After that, we had the area cleaning for the rhinos' exhibit.. Haha.. Today, I make sure that I clean the exhibit throughly as this will be the last time I will be cleaning it before I end thsi work attachment.. I wan to make this place a nice place for the rhinos to live in.. The rhinos really look so innocent and cute.. Haha..=)

Then after teh area cleaning, it was the enclosure cleaning of the rhinos.. Haha.. The enclosure was quite dirty as it was dirtied with hays around it and leaves.. Haha.. Spent abt two hours cleaning it man.. Haha.. The enclosure is so big man.. Haha.. Use to house seven rhinos.. So used all my might to clean and scrub and make sure the enclosure is kept clean.. Was satisfied at the end of the cleaning... Haha..X.X

After that we went back to office to had a rest while waiting for the token feding of the giraffe in the evening.. Haha.. it will be the last time I will be able to feed the giraffes as a volunteer there.. Haha.. Alittle she bu de man.. Haha..=X

AT 3.30pm sharp, I and fellow zookeepers went to the giraffe exhibit to prepare for the token feeding.. Haha.. This time round, Thomas prepared extra sweet potatoes to feed the giraffes.. Haha.. If not it will surely be insufficient to last throughout the whole feeding.. Haha..

But as we were setting off, dark clouds was starting to overcast the whole sky.. Fears tt it will rain anytime soon were there.. Haha.. As a result, teh token feeding didn't had really good business.. Oh yes, my last job of the day ended juz like tt.. Haha.. But I was able to feed the giraffes one last time before I pack up and leave.. Wah, it's so saddening lor.. I can't bear to leave the whole place..=(

Went back to office and packed up.. Thomas asked me to go home early as it's going to start raining anytime soon.. Haha.. He got me a Singapore Zoo Tee anyway.. Thansk so much.. I will keep it for memo.. I also got something for them.. Haha.. I brought a phto frame for them with a photo of me taken with fellow zookeepers.. I also got them a box of Merci chocolates.. Haha.. I hope they like them.. I will never forget the zookeepers: Azmi, Hamzah, Thomas, Ram and Andrew.. They have all been great keepers for me.. Im so grateful for all the experience and learning opportuinities they had given me.. I hav indeed grown up alot.. I will always remeber this learning experience and I will definitely be back to do volunteer work with them in the near future.. Haha.. I miss them all!!!!!!! =')
