Walau... was so freaking busy till i don't really have the time to blog... so many things to tell as there is so many things that i went through....
Within one week time i think i edi flung 2 paper, SHIT....and am going 2 be in deep shit for this...
then is the part where i went to zoo for the volunteery work last sunday is the part that is the fun and memorable part. It was awesome and much better than paying for your tickets to get to view the zoo. As a volunteer, we have 2 do some work for some time, but after that everything worth it. As we get to see so many behind the scenes things and get so close with the animals. At first i was hoping i can be assigned to the mammals but i was assigned to the creepy reptile world. And as we walked in, we saw so many snakes in the staff room. All in their own cage ler definitely.Big to small long to short, you name it u get it. Then, after that we were split into 3 groups and i were in the group to clean the place of a fella named water monitor.It was not easy getting in as there is no door into the cage, we need to use a ladder to climb down into their 'residential area'. The main task was to clean the place, where means we have to gather the dried leaves and clean the dirt at the drain there. Sriram, my senior and i was the who fella who did the hard core job where we practically were scooping pile of dirt with the smell of their 'discharge', while su ying was the main cleaner on land. The dirt was not friendly and i was glad with my decision of changing into the boots provided to us as my white who would have been gone . Sriram was feeling the same too..
While we were working, i was wondering where is this water monitor fella as i don't see them anywhere when i got into their home. The zoo keeper told us that there are 2 of them in the cage and told us that these fella are very cowardly fellas therefore not to worry that they will attack us and juz ask us to be steady and not to scare ourselves when it try to run away from us as they are more scare of us compared to how we are scared of them. I only found 1 of them lying at the lower part of the trees sleeping or observing us from there when we were cleaning. Didn't even moved a muscle and laid there all the time. Was a bit shocked when i found him as i saw him accidentally when i was cleaning. Then, as what normal human would do, we remain a distance from the fella. Yet, we were wondering where is the other one as we found one edi. around 60% work done, Sriram found the second one where it is sleeping soundly in the pond.
After the, great hardwork 1, we get a 15 min break and moving to our second task. I was astonished to see the resident of the 2nd cage as it was the giant tortoise and they are huge, very huge; very old too.They are the 2nd largest species of the tortoise in the world. We were so excited to see them at 1st as its different form the 1st job where we dun dare to get near the water monitor; tortoise was hugged n rubbed by us as we reached there. We bathed them and polished their shell with cooking oil, yes cooking oil, to make their shell look sparkling clean. During the bath, one of the macho male tortoise was making poo fresh in front of sriram and the expression of sriram was priceless looking at those eyes popping out when he saw.
I missed the scene as i was working at the front of the tortoise back then. We then swept the dry leaves n collected the poos and it was many of them lying here n there. gladly, no one accidentally stepped on them, the poos. Also, we can conclude that the male tortoise is a food picker as they eat only the sweet food like banana, papaya, and carrot. When i bring the cabbage to their mouth, they shut it tight ,not opening it. They open the mouth again when u bring the sweet food again to them.However the female was very obedient and ate everything we gave her including veggie slowly. The other 3 males were eating aggressively n rushing on their food as they like take 2 big bites and everything finished. The female takes small bites. Thanks to the aggresive males, he bit one of my fingers and i was lucky to get it out quick, couldn't imagine what happened if i let it chew. He might break my finger as they do eat crabs , written in the intro poster. We did some cam whoring there but i haven't get my hands on the pic from my frens. Will try to get it ASAP.
Thats it. All the work done. and we get to a back door tour in the zoo, as we get to see so many animals and fed them.We were so close to a giraffe, zebra,antelope so many more... we get to play with the snake - the python, she is a tame snake so it was practically harmless like the snake we normally see used as the decorative in photo shooting. dunno what to say... i will let the pic do the rest of talking and will get it ASAP.
on the road back, the buss met with a slight collision with a Wira where the Wira tried to overtake the bus from the left as the bus was moving towards its own lane, the left lane. The bus driver juz go on after the minor collision without thinking of stopping as we can't stop in a small road like that. Then, the wira which were caught up to the front of the bus and stopped in the middle of the road, coming down with a pedal lock on his hand looking very mad and whacked the bus door. The uncle who was the driver was very casual, cool and calm. He was pouring a cup of tea to drink while the fella was seeking trouble. He insisted not to open the door and ask the fella to take down the relevant info that he wants on the bus and ask the fella to report. As the uncle noe that the one violating the law is that fella. We were supporting the uncle and says that if the fella really wants to cari pasal, we have 20 sth guys to back him up, so no worries.He reply no need as if there were nth at all... was very impressed...by the uncle's way of handing things...
Then got a bit of achievement in ping-pong as i learnt a lot of new things and getting better then last time... i was a horrible player last time.... very horrible...
Then, the salsa class finally finished the whole set of steps of salsa and we were now requested to now dance on music with a faster beat and we practically screwed up at the 1st trial and getting the hang of it edi... for my case, i was a freaking bad dance partner as i always forget the dance steps and not really good at leading the partner as she was newbie where she came to class after we learnt 1/2 of all the steps. So can't blame her, while I on the other hand leading her 2 some fantasy world.T.T(a lot more to learn for me....)
That should b all... i think...oh ya.. its passed 12am edi so, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Kar Yie...sleepy edi... its 230am and i hvn't sleep... die.... tomorrow computing lecture somemore... 100% K.O. lor.... kk ciaoz...
