HAHAHAHAHA

If you haven realised, or do not know, I have been working at the zoo for 2 days now and boy, was today like TOTALLY different from yesterday man!

YESTERDAY: I waited for about 2hours doing nothing just standing there staring...until about like.. 11 plus? This senior keeper came and asked me to cut like the fruits and stuff...he is like..soo not friendly. Actually, I think he is but just NOT to me.

THen, after lunch, I slacked all the way till.. 4pm. OH and did I mention how I got stuck cause I couldnt pull open the extremely heavy gate? DARN,.

TODAY: ahahha! I reached at 9am and started working. HEHEHE When I walked into the place, this other guy came out and said hi. I wasnt too sure about him at first but PHEW, It was a different guy so I called Hui Jun that I was staying...seeing how that WEIRD guy wasnt there. I GUESS I MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE. CAUSEEE...he first brought me to some wolves or fox and dog like creature's enclosure to set them out into the tourist enclosure thingy. BEfore that he asked me to go into the enclosure to like sweep up and stuff. ( which is like so much cooler than standing there slacking for 2 hours) Then,it was off to release the screaming/shouting/shrieking/pushing/crazy baboons. My gosh. They are freaking noisy! Like..enough to break your ear drums. And they are very very pushy..when they were released, they run and squish other baboons, like a stampede( WAIT, it was a stampede) Next, it was off to the smt..eye smt.. the mountain deers LOLI just realised that enclosure was upstairs HEEHHE! COOL RIGHT? so, yeah set them FREE...( oh btw, I bet you never knew that the males deers work only on mondays tuesdays and wednesdays while the femlaes works on the west of the weeks LOL!)

Preparing of food was still the same today, only that this time there was somethere to talk to me while working LOL! I cut..oranges,apples,bananas, papayas and pears. AND the DREADED...CARROTS. You konw why? I accidentally cut my finger while cutting the carrots...and the wound bleed for like 5 mins non stop. I mean like..iI ran it under water..and when iI stop it will start bleeding like ALOT. Gushing out.. LOL! And..this after when he said there was a girl who also cut her finger and she fainted because of the blood. LOL! HMPH ( must be because I laughed at the story and then also got cut. )

After that it was off to peeling hard-boiled eggs, cracking eggs, mixing it with the meat, squishing eggs,peeling chicken. LOL! And it was off to feeding the mongoose. GOSH, they look like oversized hamsters, picture a meekat with darker fur and more stripes. LOL! Yeaa... went to fed them. And did you know the zoo is like a huge maze, its like there is this bush then you hop over it then there will be animals like or cages there. LOL! they eat alot..like so viciously. heheheh. Then I stood there and stone for about 20 mins plus because my keeper went over to some other place to feed some other animals. LOL! Yeah, they are very cute creatures. After that when he came back, I had to clean their cages and stuff. It was like the only cages which I cleaned.

Next, it was off to planting grasses at the giant tortoise enclosure. THEY OMG, actually can move very fast kay! I turned around and saw them beside me, then i turned around they were gone. LOL! And the wheel burrow which I pushed to the place was to hard to push. I had to push it through like....trees and bushes and hills and bumps and slopes. LOL! Yeah..planted those, the keeper, I think his name is shah. ahahaha!

He suddenly asked 'Have you feed arapaimas before?'

I obviously went like ' HUH?' He then said' fish fish.. you feed fish before?"

Turns out these ARAPAIMAS are huge 2m long fish with a huge mouth that sucks its food. So yeah, I went over to feed them and went over for the usual baboons toekn feeding. Hahahaha! No one bought today, so I feed them instead LOL HEHEHEEH! Otherwise you have to pay $5 to do so. yea, I could make them flip backwards and forwards so cool right? LOL!

AFter that I did nothing, went to rest for an hour at the pymgy hippos there. Talked to some ppl about random stuff..like juggling a chain saw? LOL And once again, my keeper asked' eh you feed kangaroos before?' LIKE NO! SOOOO I WENT OVER TO FEED THE THEM FOR HALF AN HOUR. OMGGG, it was a great way to end the day..like really great. Their fur are very very soft. ok la, I didnt really get to feed them, like abit only. I was teaching and helping the children whom paid to feed. Very cute children, I think I like to work with them. LOL! But even cuter kangaroos, those big greyish ones. LOL! sooo utterly..pretty man. I kept stroking themm, I mean its like, not everyday you get to pat one right?! LOL! ahhhhh suchhh a great thing to do. too ad I dont have pictures of it.

And oh yeah james: to my utter clumsiness..I fell. like slipped and fell onto the rocks. LOL my keeper ask" eh were you embarassed?' I replied' no. I always fall.' LOL~( true what.)

19 mosquito bites,2 scraps and 1 cut.

And counting.
