3ve’s blog…duh!

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!!
