i'm excited! overly excited because i'm joining this volunteering activity at zoo negara somewhere in ampang, i think! to be specific near in gombak but i'm not so sure, haha! we have to be at budiman early in the morning, at 7am! so early! but we were like 10 minutes late, haha! typical!
the bus started to move at around 730am and we arrived at arround 830. with this and that, walking to the gate we manage to gather at the office yard around 845 and the officer from the education department of the zoo said we already late for half an hour! the zoo is suppose to be opened to public at 9am and 'the zoo cleaner' (that's us!) are late to work! perfect, a lecture!
so, we were divided into groups and sent to our sections. eventhough i really want to 'clean up' the lion and tiger's cage but as a volunteer we can not choose, huhu! they just ask us to follow the assigned zoo keeper at each sections and do the work. me and my 4 other friends went to the reptile's house and parts of the amphibian's. urgh! snakes!! that is the place that i really want to avoid but alas, no chance!
two of us was to clean the tortoise or turtle (i cant differentiate it) house, not all. we swept the area, washed the ponds and talking! hehe! My friend Sarah and I got the easiest job (i think!) because our supervisor is cool and sporting and just telling stories to us. a pity to my other 3 friends, they have to prepare foods, fed the alligators, goats, rats, iguanas, lizards and even phytons! it is fun too but a lot of works and their supervisor is like a grumpy old man! while Sarah and I are having fun cleaning the phyton skins and just listening to stories! haha!
Sarah was cool, she hold a very active phyton and enjoying it while i was like a meter away from her, avoiding the snake's head! i was afraid at first to touch the snakes, phytons most of it but then i was able to hold the phytons! yay! i hold the albino burmese phyton and took pictures with it. later ok!
when it times for our tea break, we all meet together with my other friends from the other sections and visits the other animals. we really love the tiger, malaya tiger and bengal tiger! and also the lion, simba the lion king! and i saw the puma too! they are so cute! haha!the lion wont stop roaring when we were there, haha! and we all took pictures of giraffes eating at the giraffe's cage, so tall and beautiful.
the works are fun and also tiring, i think i hurt my back to! (whining aina!) an experience that i dont want to forget! if there is another chance of doing it again, i'll definitely go. maybe i even go visit the phytons! hehe! oh yeah, i'll visit the one pah gave name to, she called the albino phyton 'baby' and its a boy! very funny pah!
later then, i'm super tired!
ai-na : go do your homeworkssss!
