3ve’s blog…duh!

Hello! I’ve moved in into a new place! www.3vesanctuary.blogspot.com Hehehe…my new sanctuary. Once again, thank you to those who have been faithfully waiting for my update in my blogs. Sori to keep u all waiting so long…I understand…it’s kinda like me waiting for my favourite author to come out with her new book. Hahaha!! (cheh cheh! Author konon!) Actually I wanted to write something nicer, something ‘kinder’ U know…kinda like a good last impression here b4 i move out, But some things have occurred these days and I feel strongly bout this issue…

Ok, so wat is the important thing tat I cant wait to tell u guys? Erm…this might not be a ‘funny’ passage becoz it is something deep in my heart tat I wanna tell my frens out there…especially those who hav seen “Pooka”. Now u get a bit of wat I mean?

This blog is dedicated to ppl especially my frens who hav thought of or deciding to buy a sugar glider as a pet.Sugar Glider trade has been increasing and it’s becoming a trend…(Maybe becoz this is the year of the Rat??! But..gliders are not rodents! Hahaha) Anyways, I have been receiving phone calls of ppl asking me where to find breeder becoz they wanna buy a sugar glider. And It is not 1 or 2 but MANY has called me. I dun mind u guys calling me and asking me about tat…I welcome the calls. But my concern increased as I noticed that a lot of ppl do not have the slightest idea of wat they are buying. I’m truly worried about this. Those who had called me shud know…my advice is always “THINK CAREFULLY and CHECK OUT WAT IT IS FIRST”. Ok…I’m not saying u cant have one…of course u can! And I hope u can have the joy of owning a pet like I do.

But…PLS PLS PLS…u guys hav to think further and ask urself, why do i wan a pet and most importantly, Am I able to tale care of it? A Sugar Glider is NOT like keeping a hamster. It’s much much more difficult. (Believe me, I had 5 hamsters b4 and a sugar glider.) Though they look alike in many many ways.

The above table might provide some of the differences between a sugar glider and a hamster. Well, I myself, though I have experienced working with sugar gliders in the zoo, I also think twice b4 buying ‘Pooka’ becoz I was scared I cant keep her in good condition. U see, sugar gliders have very strict nutrition needs. Some things they cant eat….or can eat, but not more/less. Though special Glider Mix can be found in some pet stores (I heard rumors that some gliders die after eating the retail one…though not sure how true it is) and I know someone who does it for sale (this source I trust). Too many stories I heard about their gliders die becoz of malnutrition. And they cant be left alone….either u buy two or u bring it along wherever u go. Like me. And most importantly, u are to expect scratches and bites…not very nasty ones…but like the ones I hav sometimes on my hands. If they are not handled or tame earlier in their stages of life, it’s likely very difficult to handle them later. I deal with wild gliders b4 (they are born in captive, but jus not handled regularly), and they can bite through leather gloves we use to handle animals. They also make noises…especially during the nite (Nocturnal) so…expect jumping here and there in the middle of the nite. (I’m used to it…hahaha! Pooka sometimes bark in the middle of the nite….ish ish!) And did I mention u either hav to file or cut their nails? If NOT!!! Come and see my hands sometimes and u know why u must cut!!! Hahahaa….i cut pooka’s nails bout once a week.

Wow…seems like I’m trying to keep uguys away from having a glider rite? Sori…but this is my concern becoz I hav ppl claiming to buy but didn’t even know tat gliders are highly sociable….so sad! And I do not want these gliders to innocently suffer plus u to feel bad and sad when things doesn’t work out. But there is a bright side to it, when bonded to u, gliders make great companion and they stick to u. Hehehe…And they last very long….(long enuf) to be a long term pet….em, if I were to compare, I will compare a glider to a dog instead of a hamster. Only with not so big POO and WEE ahahhahaha! Great huh? Anyways, my intentions are not to discourage u…but at least jus think bout it and find out more in the internet or whatever references! Hehehe….this is to ensure that u will have a GOOD time and enjoy ur glider. : ) Do not hesitate to call me, email me or post a comment about this issue. I will be more than willing to help.

I hope no one is offended from reading this! I come from good intentions ya!! : )

P.S. My info is not complete….thus different ppl will give diff opinions on this. So I’m jus speaking from wat I experienced. I’m learning along the way too..and Pooka is still alive and well so far! Hahaha! Ya, if anyone know how can  I make my glider smell better, can post a comment to me ya!! (Gliders cant be bath I know….any ideas?)

Hehehe…been thinking bout my blog these days.  Like i hav been for quite a while. Always thinking of stuff i wanna write here. Though how much i wanted it, i’m still lazy to do so. But everytime i get to update this blog, i feel a sense of accomplishment. And i have been doing a lot of thinking lately, many of them might be unless…but hey, who doesnt day dream?

THOUgHt Of The dAy

Hmm…ever had tat funny feeling when u are driving, cruising through the road as how ur fingers are wit the radio station? (But i still keep my eyes on the road) Trying to find a nice song on the limited station u hav on "speed dial". Finally, u found a note u like and you feel satisfied. Suddenly the road aint so bad anymore. The song changes…and a tune came on. Something u thought strike your liking…as it prolong, u realized tat it was a song u hav forgotten…a song tat u would love to hear during a cruise down the road some time ago. As u try to sing it, and fumble wit the lyrics, u surprised urself tat u can still remember how it goes. With it not only comes a companion on the road, but a flood of memory. Somehow u can connect it wit a scene in your life tat jus seem to hang at the tip of ur memory, yet no matter how hard u try, it doesnt seem to tumble out. Something familiar bout tat song…use to love it…but jus cant put my finger on it. But sometimes we remember clearly how closely this song related to our lives…a song u shared wit him…a song u cried wit when she left…Bitter? Sweet? Ever had tat feeling?

When asked, if u were to lose one of ur senses which one would u still survive without? For me, i cant live without my sight. Who can imagine not seeing? Not able to see the things tat lay ahead of us. Blind. Sightless. Cant drive, cant walk without stumbling, cant draw, cant read…the list goes on. Imagine those born without sight. Never knowing wat the colour blue meant.

But have u ever smell something fantastic? Haha…of course u hav. Roasted chicken, well-cooked meal, fresh cut lemon, the rain…wat if u couldnt? Still bearable to live? Ya…maybe. It might not be as terrible as losing ur sight rite? Ever smell something tat incredibly does things to ur heart? The shampoo she uses…the aftershave he puts on…the yellowed pillow…the short blanket… Do u realize everyone has his/her particular smell? Not the soap or the perfume. A smell tat cant be covered…everyone owns one. To some it might not smell very good…but to others it brings comfort. When u r near someone, do u remember how he/she smells like? And u hope u can smell more of it. Makes u miss someone u love. If not, why do u think bf’s give jackets to gf’s, and the gf’s keeps it for the days to come? And y gf’s give soft toys/pillows to bf’s, and the bf’s hug it everynite to sleep? Like a child tat refuses to let his mom wash his fav toy…we never wan to lose the smell of our love ones. Maybe God design us this way so we will always remember the ones we love. Ever walk pass something/someone and smelling a scent tat leaves u wondering? With it not only comes a strike of familiarity, but a flood of memory. Somehow u can connect it wit a scene in your life tat jus seem to hang at the tip of ur memory, yet no matter how hard u try, it doesnt seem to tumble out. Something familiar bout tat scent…use to love it…but jus cant put my finger on it. But sometimes we remember clearly how closely this scent related to our lives…the one u sang the song to…the one u cried for…Bitter? Sweet? Ever had tat feeling?

Maybe u hav, maybe u dun hav a clue wat i wrote. Dedicated to those who are as forgetful as i am….

Hello~! How is everyone? Hehehhe…a lil update on myself…for those tat has been askign me bout UPM…though i’ve unclearly stated in my MSN not to ask…but i believe all of u asked wit a concerned heart…so, UPM has not decided. They need MORE recommendation letters. More time to think. Bout wat? NO IDEA. So, i’m currently working part time jobs…sometimes freelancing wit roadshows (next one in Nov, Nokia N series roadshows in 1U and Mid Valley) sometimes back in the zoo…so, when i’m free, i’m really free, if i’m not, then i’m really not free.

THoUghT of D DaY

Has been long sinced i’ve written this column…not to say tat i’m not thinking these days…jus to ignorant to write it down which leads to regret. I’ve worked 3 days in the zoo and i’m tired. I slept in today…it was great. Till i was awaken to watch my latest "addiction" Grey’s Anatomy. I picked up the remote while eyes still droopy and watch the series. Then i realize tat it was a repeat which i’ve watched. Nvm…it seems interesting though i know wat’s going to happen. Then something the show said hit me. (Christina) was arguing wit (Izzy) because Izzy has fallen for a dying patient and tried to make him sicker so he can be moved up the transplant list to get the heart. And Christina refuses to help her. So, they were arguing tat Izzy shouldnt hav fallen for her own patient and Izzy retalliated tat Christina herself shudnt have fallen for her own attendent. They were having a big squabble…(U know…the kind tat usually need someone to shout "Shut up!" and everyone quiets down?) then Christina asked wat’s her (Izzy) point of bringing in her love life…(Here comes the "shut up" part) Then Meredith says loudly:" The point is…we cant chose who we fall for." (then there’s the quiet part)…

Ya, it hit me. Ok…for those who watch this series will know tat Meredith oso fell for her attendent which in turn actually has a wife she doesnt know of. So…the irony is tat…in tat room, she is the one wit the problem of falling for the "wrongest" guy…yet she is the one tat kept her cool and admitted it.

We cant choose who we fall in love wit. We cant get to choose the good looking one or the athlete one. We cant. Tat’s the pits. Why do some girls still fall for bad men? And why do they still close their eyes when they know they are not treating them right? Why dont we fall for the kind guy but we fall for the one wit the sense of humour? Why dun we fall for those tat loves us, but for those tat dun? Funny huh? WE cant choose who we fall in love wit.

I had a conversation wit a fren recently, and we talked bout the weaknesses tat we see in the person we love. I said i am not the kind tat would fall for this kinda character…and she said y do i still do? i tot for a while and i said becoz there are other qualities tat appeals to me…and it jus seems tat this "package" comes wit some other qualities tat i didnt choose. Ya…then she said a Chinese proverb tat i forgotten. But it means tat if a person were to but a house tat he really really likes and in that house has a bird, he would hav to love the bird oso. So ya, the "package" may come in some qualities u want and some u dun, u get to choose the "package" but u dun get to choose wat’s in it. No Ala Carte’s available. It is the matter of whether u are able to bear the unwanted qualities in the package or not.

U dun get to choose who u fall in love wit…heart breaking for some when u hav fallen for someone u shudnt or u couldnt hav. But tat’s life…sometimes…i think it might be a blessing in disguise…maybe, tat’s why it’s call "falling" in love..u cant help it when u fall…if u fall, u…fall. The pain comes when u hit the ground, the warm comes when someone lifts u up. Maybe all of us needs a lil bit of pain to feel the warmth.

Heyo…i’m here to talk bout something if not all ppl could relate to…driving. Ok o k…i know it’s weird…but i jus feel lik writing bout it. Can u calculate the time u spend in ur car? Every single day?

I dun know bout u guys…here some of the things i think relates to me while i am driving…now…drivers, dun u jus hate to drive sometimes? I mean…when u first got ur license…well, some cant wait to get on the road…some are still scared to get on the road…and some…well, have al’d been on the road..(for a few years al’d) but after some while, i think how we started off boils down to one conclusion…we hope we dun hav to drive more than we wished we do. It gets boring…come on! There’s tonnes of things to worry bout when u drive. B4 u get out of he house…u turn on the engine, hoping it will start smoothly, while waiting for it to warm up…u stare at the oil meter and sigh when u see it’s less than wat u hope for. Then, u start backing up and wonder whether u will be late or not becoz of the trafic tat u r definately sure will be there. When u wanna turn out, u fear that some guy from the other sid eof the road would jus speed and not look before he turn. U r a bit frustrated bout the auntie tat is driving in front of u…but u r too nice to horn…then u r caution of the motorcyclist who thinks tat his motorcycle is sturdier than ur car. And u do get stuck in the traffic jam…with the car next to u refusing to let u pass…or he is squeezing into ur space. U get a bit angered but u reminded urself not to curse becoz God is watching thus…it’s not right in the sight of God…so all u do is suck in all back in and turn on the radio…then the traffic starts moving and u think it’s over…moving down the smooth highway…u know u shud follow the speed limit…and u r at the max speed limit…though u r at the middle lane, the car behind u seem to have a fondness to ur back bumper…either u speed up, or u move to left. By speeding up, u fear that the surveilance camera is watching u…not to mention the hungry police during Raya. By moving to the left, u find urself behind the slow auntie again…choices choices. Finally, u turn in and reach ur destination. Now, where shud i park? Some where cheap wit parking and a nice shade. But places like these doesnt happen unless u r driving at 3am in the morning in the right place. So, which will u choose? Round bout 3 times…get urself a parking finally…pay ur parking ticket which depends how long u will be there..then walk 5 minutes to ur destination. Oh…did i mention under the blazing hot sun?

Of course after u have settled everything…u came back to check whether ur car hav been scratched, or summoned becoz u were a few minutes late for ur parking ticket…then u open ur car door and release all the afternoon heat out while u urself hav a lil sunbathing. Finally drop back into ur car and wonder u hav enuf petrol to reach home. Thinking whether u would be able to reach home safe and fast? or would u be stranded? Doing it all over again when tomoro comes…

While waiting on the traffic light…u realize…it’s a bit silent in the car…and u r getting bored. So, u turn on the radio…surf through available channels tat u hav on speed dial…when nth good comes on, u turn on the cd tat has been in there for the pass few days…and click to ur fav song. Then u sit back and relax a bit…thinking bout wat had happened during the day. Something bad has happened tat day and u know u shud do something botu it…but u jus cant put ur finger on it. Suddenly, u find urself caught in the music…watched and admire the shadows tat dance over ur seat and ur body. Singing to the song…whether loud or soft…it always sounds nicer when no one is listening. Not believing urself for wat u hav done during the day…u jus wanna find solitary. Some where safe…how amazing it is tat God found His way into ur heart when u jus take a break…even during the short time of waiting for the light to turn green. Then u drive on…watching the prussian blue sky…u realize, things arent tat bad. Though u know wat u hav done would never be erased…but u hav found comfort in Him who al’d knows the pain of the world. The One whose strength sustains us…whose love overwhelmed us…our Faithful Friend. Without realising it, u reached home. Relief and comforted. With a parking space only for u….

Hey…here i am again. i actually dun know wat i’m doing here. i jus feel like writing something..so if this gets really lame, feel free to bail. I’m us having funny feelings nowadays. U know? U get tat feeling u really wanted something, u work hard for it, U try ur best to achieve it and when u are finally stepping into ur dream, a day before. U sit there, on ur bed..and u wonder:" Ok, tomorrow’s the big day…" But somehow it doesnt excite u as how u think it would be. Further more, it actually turns into fear…and u wonder r u really cut out for this. Kinda kills the mood huh?

Well, guys, i think most of u know bout the dare to dream thingy by now. And to be honest, i dun think i’ll be able to achieve my dreams…not as how i potrayed it in TV anyways. I’ve been waiting and waiting for this dream to be a reality, really, believe me, i’ve done everythign i could. And i’m darn frustrated bout it. I could simply say tat it’s unfair to me. But i guess tat doesnt change anything huh? Now tat i’m standing at the crossroad again, the road tat i tot once held my future seems to hold disappointment now. I looked and looked, hoping and praying it will be open to me. But now i can dimly see it’s unwelcoming path. Then as u struggle to face tat path, doubts seems to creep into mind. I’m starting to think…i’m not cut out for this. Suddenly the lights got cut off and u r left in the dark. Of course, many are around…ppl, searching for the same thing and yet finding nothing tat offers hope. We keep our heads tall as long as we can. Stretching our necks as far as we can…some given up…some still stubbornly foraging. I admire those who still have a great fire burning in them, moving them forward…yet, the fire in me seem to burn more brightly in time pass. Some are here to stay, some are jus passing by. But everyone has to come to a crossroad. While still sitting on the bed…i guess we jus shake our heads, crawl underneath our blankets,shut our fresh eyes and try to fall asleep…as tomorrow holds our future uncertain…and we need every drop of energy to pull through it before we meet our beds again.

Ok…this is the special blog for those who hav been asking me wat i am doing on TV during 24th Aug 10.30pm @ 8TV. I have not really told u guys wat it is all about…becoz it’s LONG to explain. And i’m not kidding. So, since i’m a bit tired of typing it over and over again, i’m jus going to direct u ppl who asked this question to my blog and read it for urself! Ok? (HAh! Tell u to watch but didnt!)

(This is for those who didnt have a clue i was on tat nite)

Sory…maybe i didnt inform u. But here is wat happened. This programme is called "Dare to Dream" which mainly purposes to inspire young ppl to go after Dreams that are out of the norm. In my case, of being a vet doctor. So, there’s two main character in the programme. Someone who is al’d living the dream (Dr. Reza) And someone working towards that same dream (Me). Dr Reza is a fresh graduate and is working at Zoo Negara as a reptile curator. So…he mainly deals with reptile and stuff. As for me…they feature me at my work place…Sunway Interative Zoo…being a presenter there and hoping one day to become a vet like Dr Reza. They made a documentary out of both of us…interviewing our family and frens. Coming out wit all the embarassing things bout each of us. Then they featured us working together and he teaching me bout becoming a vet. It’s nice…inspiring and touching as i see it…but a bit embarassing….haha!

(For those who knew bout it but didnt watch it…like jus browse through only…) HAh! let u watch dun wan! Now u hav to jus read bout it! See! Hehehehe….

(For those who wanted to watch it bout somehow cant! was in GAYA…in S’pore…no 8TV) Sori u guys didnt catch it…but hey, thanks for ur kind thoughts of supporting me.

(For those who really did watch it and SMSed me) *hugs* ur smses and ur support…u dun know wat tat means to me. The programme is supposedly to inspired other ppl…but as i told Sarah…i think i’m the most inspired one after reading ur smses…Goodness! I love u guys…Thank you so much! MuacKKSssssSS!! (Cant believe wat my mom said in the end either….neither can she! *smack*)

(To everyone who is reading this) Dare to dream ppl…becoz everything u see around u…started wit a dream. It might be scary…u might not fulfill it in the end at all…but i believe…as long as u give ur dream to God, though it might not turn out like how u imagined it to be…but it’ll definately be much beautiful!

(Finally, to God) Thank you for showing me Your grace. Even though I am at life’s pit, U have chose to let me shine. Thank you for all the frens You put beside me…they are priceless. Without You…i would not know wat it means to dream.

Hehe!! 2nd update this week!! Wat do u think bout tat wilson!? Muahaha!! I cleared my cobwebs al’d! Hah! But i dun think this wll last for long after i started studying again. Hahaha…anyways, i’m suppose to write my script tat is due tomolo…since i hav nth better to do at home now…alone. *sob sob* But my creativity seems to run away with my purpose here…so i guess i will not waste my time! Hehehe!! Anyways, i’ve remembered one the most unforgetable events tat befall upon our zoo…Good or bad? I dun know…but i knew it happened on my off day. (It’s when all the happening things happen. Or so i’m told.)

Ok…so, i’m not speaking from first hand experience here…if one of u guys who happen to be there tat fateful day, u may correct my story…for the rest of u…well, u can jus be amused! Muahaha! Warning…this may be a long one…so be prepared!

The things we do in a zoo…U’ll never imagine!                                So…it’s 2.45pm..dancers check, sound system check, usual 3pm crowd check, presenter check, everyone in position and props r all ready. We will be Rockin’ up the animal show again…but wait…A cage..in position towards the stage…door open, cage empty and it’s not her turn yet to appear on show…opps….! Alert 911, call ALL forces in standby and send in the troops! We have a code red! Renee the Racoon has been kidnapped. (Ok ok…she was not…she…erm…escaped? But we are not allowed to use the word  "escaped" here…coz it seems that we are torturing them…) 15 minutes b4 the show and Renee disappears…sigh! NooOOOoooO! So we did the sensible thing the show must go on! So, after the show without our recycling fren. So…yes, the full squad went all out for look for our furry fren. They search all the possible areas….her fav grass spot, behind the tall landscape plants that she likes, near the pond area where she like to drink from…anywhere u could imagine. But no sign of Renee…but Renee is kinda an old …so she’s slow and lazy…i dun think she’ll wander far off…but she has been able to out smart all of them. (not including me since i’m at home bumming) Muahaha…Everyone is panicked and filled with terrible tots…wat if she dropped into the mining pond, if she wandered into the woods? Then we’ll lose a star!! Can u imagine how stressful it is when u hav terrible tots going through ur mind and at the same time u hav to explain to customers why they cant put their fingers in front of a python’s mouth? I’m quite sure u can hear everyone going crazy on the walkie…tat’s a sign of desperation,Ladies and Gentlemen.

Jus when u tot things could not be worse, thru all the shouting through a walkie, one ’shouting’ stood out. "Come in Wildlife, Seekor Cockatiel sudah terbang." Yup..one of our photo cockatiel jus flew away…(for those of u who dun know wat’s a cockatiel, it’s a small colourful bird comnly found in pet stores…the ones wit a crest..meaning a very ‘yau yeng’ hair style.) Ok…so…it flew, but it’s not all bad since the cockatiels on display has some feathers clipped, so it cant fly far or high up. Or so we tot until the cockatiel jus fell into the pond tat we feared Renee might hav dropped in. Mind u, that is a mining pond, if u hav been to Sunway Lagoon, u know…the one when u walk on the longest bridge and u look down…the pond tat will scare u to death? Ya! Tat pond. So….it’s bout 15 meters deep and we hav a small bird flapping it’s wings where it doesnt matter in almost in the middle of the waters. Any ideas? The lifeguards r too busy watching the nice little swimming pools…so, one of my colleagues, like a ‘Hero’ went and….(No, he did not take off his shirt and jump into the water) he actually went and found a float…those tat u rent in the waterpark…threw it into the pond and ride on it himself towards the poor fella. U know….how the customers would ride in the tube. Head on one side of the tube, two feet up on the other side while the body in the middle of the donut hole of the tube. Then he paddled wit two hands towards the drowning birds. But at the same time, the bird was actually making good progress by flapping it’s wings towards the water bank. The rest of them was crowding near the shoreline..calling it back, shouting in excitement and encouraging it. When the bird do actually reach groud, it was instantly picked up and cuddled in a towel…everyone was relieved. Jus as they stood up and cheering…they turned around…and Renee poke her head out from who-knows where to see wat’s all the commotion about. Can u imagine both parties actually looked at each other and froze bout a second? Until someone snapped out of it and pointed at Renee:" RENEE!!!!!" Then everyone actually ran after her. Then it’s Renee’s turn to snapped out of it..(guess she was sleeping before the shouting woke her up) She suddenly realize that r a mob of keepers running towards her direction…now imagine the big sweat drop on the fore head! Hahaha!! She did the sensible thing…she turned and ran the oppposite direction..but of course she was caught. Hahaha!! Shud see her keeper’s face when he hugged her and gave her a gentle scolding. Like a father tat got back his wandered daughter. Well, of course, everyone was cheering and laughing at all the ordeal…it’s when the cheering and talking subsided tat they realized someone was still shouting and screaming. They race back to the shoreline and they forgot tat they left our ‘hero’ stranded in the middle of the pond. Hahaha!! He was asking for help, trying to peddle himself back with his hands…as everyone else burst into laughter. Hahahaaa!! Things we do for our animals…

*adapted from a true story and names have not been changed to irritate anyone. (We really do have a racoon named Renee…And i didnt name the racoon!) For the detailed story…ask my colleagues!!

Hey people…can u believe it? This is my second entry of the YEAR!! I cant believe i’ve let myself lose till now…sory for not updating. Hehehe…i even caught some of u all frustrated but me not continuing my stories….sorry!!! So now here are some of the darnest things tat could happen to u in a zoo…well, only if u work there long enuf…

Snakes!!! (Cutteeee!!)                                                                    Yup, i know!! No matter how crazy u think i am, I still think they are cute!! Hehehe…ok, so this one is one of my fav thing to tell. So, we hav this gigantic python…She’s bout 6meters long and weights bout 80kg…ya, and her name is suzy! Hehehe…adorable huh? ( U can see her pic in my frenster photo) So, since she;s huge, we need at least 3 ppl to carry her…1st becoz of her weight, 2nd, she’s long and 3rd JuUUuuuUussSSssssss in case she decided to strangle u to death, u hav frens around to push urselves against each other so she doesnt get to constrict u. Yup! Animal instinct, it’s in them. But dun worry, my story aint tat dramatic! (dun hope to be anytime soon!) Ok, so i was carryign her on my shoulders with two other frens. I was the furthest behind. Then while walking towards the exhibition area, we were suppose to go through the door…which has a pile of wined up hose sitting in front of the threshold. The gal in front of me were struggling with Suzy’s weight and did not see the hose…yup, she tripped on it but luckily she didnt fall, it’s jus tat the left over water in the hose was flipped up and it splashed all over my pants. Knee down was drenched btw. I was shocked by the cold but i couldnt do anything becoz…erm…well, i hav a 80kg snake on my shoulders. But my fren was innocently apologizing to me though she was not very sure wat happened. After lifting tat heavy python off me and into her cage, i quickly turned to my wet pants. (But well…u dun think Eve will jus tell u a simple story like tat wouldn’t u? HAha!!) Surprise surprise! I saw bits of white on my pants and was a bit curious till i smelled the stench. Yup…u thinking of wat I’m thinking? i trace back to the door where the ‘accident’ happen and yes! Indeed…on the floor laid some ‘water’ plus with a couple of white substances in the size of a rolling pin. Ya, it was NOt left over water in the hose. My dear O Suzy urinated when the bum happened. Not only she urinated, she let it go on me. If u dun know, snakes do not pass faecal very often. Bout once a week. Quick Quiz: wat happens when u dont go toilet for a week and suddenly it comes out? Like a pipe bursting with concentrated faeces? Exactly! The rest, i’ll leave it up to ur imagination!

There’s jus tonnes of stories i can tell u from the zoo…but i’m a bit blank here right now. Hahaha!! At least i updated one! I’ll try and remember more k! Anyways, while u r at it, u can go to my pics and check out the crew from wildlife…we get wilder than the animals sometimes! ANd oso! Check out 8tv on 24th Aug 07 10.30pm. I’ll be in a programme called Dare to Dream. It’s bout ppl chasing after dream careers that are out of the norm. Not a bad programme! Mark it down on ur calender! Seriously…u hav to mark it down! Till next time my frens…I’ll see u again! (Hope it’s not another half a year! NoooOOOoOooo!!)

Hey hey!!! i cant believe how long i wanted to write here…but…the heart is willing but the flesh is weak. Hehehe….so, wat’s up people!! NIce to meet u here in the new year!! Woo Hoo! New year, new beginning….but for those of u still doing the same course and still doing the same job….it doesnt feel much like a new year la.l…hahah! SO SO SO MANY MANY MANY MANY things i wanna tell u guys, a lot of things had happened these few days!

Okok…let me start off. Remember tat i told u i got a job in Pets Lovers Centre in Pyramid? The new pet shop? The one which i was hoping for…went for two interview and was praying so tat i’m accepted? Remember? Ah!!! Good good…u know wat? U can forget bout tat al’d! Hehehehe….coz i’m not working there anymore…coz ever since i didnt recieve any phone calls, i went there and ask. "T" says tat she called me a lot of times including using her own handphone…in which i didnt pick up. So i started checking my record…and she quickly added tat she called me very long time ago…i asked her wat number she called, she said she didnt call me herself but some other ppl…em…called me long time ago wit her handphone, but she didnt make the call…since she didnt call me…then how she knows when ‘they’ called me? And why is she avoiding my gaze and oso my bunch of frens which happened to follow me there? Em…weird…well, i’ll give her a benefit of a doubt though she wasted my saturday to go for the interview all the way to Ikano, and oso my petrol money plus the trouble of photostating my ic + certificates for a part time sales assistant position RM4.50 per hour. But oh well…not destined!

But…i’m ver y very sure tat it was not God’s will for me there….He has found a better place for me! Guess wat? i’m working at Sunway Lagoon’s new wildlife interactive zoo! Ok…when u see a girl running around wit snakes, parrots and talking real loud through a microphone…tat would be a high chance of being me. Hehehe…well…basically, i’m a presenter at the zoo…at least tat’s wat i applied for. But the thing is…since we are short of staff…i’m doing some zoo keeping job too. I present the animals while they perform and oso bring ppl around the zoo…struggling to answer tough questions (believe me, children do ask the darnest questions…) and trying to sound like steve irvin when we meet squirrels…haha! Well, though very tiring…but it’s really interesting working there…it’s like…a normal day would be abnormal. Hehehe….there’s always things happening around…and animals tat really will make u laugh! Not to mention the higher pay tat comes wit it all! Okok, i’ll try and remember few of the unforgetable ones here…hav a good laugh at it!

1. Children can be cute and annoying~~! Annoyingly cute!           ~The zoo is not really opened yet, but we did opened for a special preview from 28 dec till 2 jan. And during then i brought a chinese speaking family up the jungle trail to meet the animals…there were two lil kid, a boy and girl i think bout 5-6 yrs old. They were so happy tat i spoke chinese instead of english and told them about the animals…so cute! Then while we were walking, lboth of them actually held my hands and kept on chattering wit me…haha! Cute!! Even at the end of the trail, tey didnt wanna let go of my hand. In the children’s zoo, they saw the wallabies and asked me whether they were kangaroos…i explained to them. But i think they tot it was baby kangaroos…and they asked me:" Jie jie, where are the mommy and daddy?" I jus laughed….sweat! And for every animal, the boy will tug my hand and ask:" Do they bite?" Hahaha…even the father was so embaressed tat he asked him to stop asking the questions. HAhaha….Kids!

2. My Fav Animal…SAYANG!!                                                        ~I work under a stage ( the stage where i present) which has two doors, one at each end. While the crew and i was getting getting ready for the show, one of the trainers asked me to close the front gate as they are feeding the primates, and dun wan any of them running all over the place. I closed it…but while we were half way preparing for it, i heard a loud shout:" Tutup pintu!" ias i was the nearest to the front door, i turned and looked, to my horror, the door was opened, probably the other trainer has exited from there but didnt close it…and i can see a monkey…or rather a gibbon running towards us. I turned to the girl nearest to the back door and shouted for her to close it…if not…a gibbon running loose in lagoon is VERY HARD to track down. Luckily, we all break froze fast enuf to slam the back door shut. The Gibbon named Pinkey, saw there was no open jumped on one of the empty snake cages…two trainers started to compund the gibbon. i was honestly a bit afraid coz we hav been warned tat the primates will give u nasty bites and we are not allowed to stay too close to them even in cages. One of the trainers was still playing around, running after her imitating the noise and runnign style, i think Pinkey got a bit panicked and took a u turn adn ran. She was running towards me and remember how i was warned, tried to avoid her and make way for her to run. But instead of running straight tat she shud, she followed my leg positioning. And ‘bam’ there she goes…( no she didnt bite me) She did the unthinkable, she actually hugged my leg! HAhaha…all of us started laughing…she’s so sweet…and i found out tat pinkey was the most tame amongst all…from tat day on, i visit her everyday in her cage and give her some nice corn which she’ll gladly accept. Cute huh? my new sayang!

3. "Hello"                                                                                    ~I was doing my 1st show wit real public audience…was really nervous, went through my script bout 3-4 times. Determine not to screw things up. The time came and we started…everything was going ok….one of our macaws did his opening act a bit slow, but it was quite ok. Then came the time when another macaw, named King Kong was to do his act. King Kong al’d has a reputation of being a bully…to human beings. So, the thing is, King Kong is suppose to play dead when a volunteer holds up their fingers like a gun and shoot him. I asked for the volunteer…he came up, i gave him the seeds to feed King Kong, then he tries to shoot King Kong, instea of rolling over, he did the begging thing….bobbing his head up and down. I was so nervous tat i asked the volunteer to feed him some more seeds and try it again. He gave somemore seeds to King Kong…one by one, by the first one, King Kong ate the seed and did the unbelievable, some hidden talent i didnt know he could do, but of course, he chose the worse time of all to show it. He turned to the volunteer and myself and said:"Hello". if i were in a japanese comic, u’ll see a  real big sweat above my forehead. The guy gave another seed, and King Kong said hello again…The bird decided he didnt want to die, but instead he rather say hello…sigh! Tat’s wat u get when the bird is ur boss…following up the racoon came up, but instead of performing, she rather walk to the grassy side of the stage and start eating grass and mud…hmm…delicious (jus tat afterwards she vomitted the mud in her cage) i send her back without doing anything. And tat’s not all, during the bird races…Ronnie(one of the macaws) decided he didnt wan to race tat day and jus took the hoop off the table, climb up the perch and drop it on the ground. Taa Daa! While the other one won the competition without any competitor…!! ARRGGHHH!! All at the same day on my first public show…THANK u guys…!

(To be continued…wanna sleep…tired! Promise more stupid and unbelieveable stories!)

Hey hey…ya ya, i knwo wat u r thinking…no reason for me to not update my blog al’d rite now ya! Heheee…but honestly, i dun know why i didnt do so! Hahaha…okok, so, now A levels are all out now…happy? Thrilled? Surprisingly dull! Hahaha…well, it’s kinda like…u hav this target for so long al’d, and when it all ends…u jus cant adapt to ‘normal’ living anymore. Hahhaa…but i’m adapting to it…

Well, these days has been the first few days after one and a half years that i havent lie around and do absolutely nth! Hahaha…wake up, no more text books lying open on my bedroom floor…no more notes towering my sofa bed (cum study table)…no more pens and other stationaries running wild everywhere…no more alarm clocks!! Hahaha!! Can imagine wat my room looks like during study times ya! Hahaha…for the sake of ur sanity, i will not show u how my face looks like during exam times…U’ll thank God…believe me! But…u know? I knida miss those times…i cant believe i jus said tat out loud!! OH NOO!! Wat hav i come about?? NooOooOo!! I’m a NERD! Well, sad to say, but without being a nerd, u’ll hardly pull through A-levels! Mostly eat sleep eat sleep…nah! U know wat i mean! The duties of home employed geologist! Hehehe…

tHOuGhT Of ThE dAy…well, u know? Today a long lost fren asked me a few things and why i was doing certain things tat i am. Well, i tried and explain as thoroughly and convincingly to her…but i was appalled…Honestly, I didnt even convinced myself…let alone a blurred girl who has not much understanding of my actions. I sympathise her blur soul…it was an issue i’ve been struggling these few days…and there are certain measures i’ll hav to take for the better good. Though the ‘action’ i took was rasional to my thinking…but somehow contradicting too…so, sometimes, i need to remind myself hard why i’m doing wat i’m doing. But this conversation wit this fren…somehow made me think. And though i still hold on to the hope of the ‘better good’…but something knock me on my heart…and i feel once again…losta nd sad…..funny huh? Hahaha….but i’m sure…if i’m to make jus a lil sacrifice for a long term benefit…i’ll jus hav to deny my desires…
