a little something.

In the office right now... was checking my hotmail cuz it's super full and found this from a friend. haha. :)

Before the marriage:

He: Yes. At last, it was so hard to wait.
She: Do you want me to leave?
He: NO! Don't even think about it.
She: Do you love me?
He: Of course!
She: Have you ever cheated on me?
He: NO! Why you even asking?
She: Will you kiss me?
He: Yes!
She: Will you hit me?
He: No way! I'm not such kind of person!
She: Can I trust you?

Now after the marriage you can read it from bottom to the top !!!!

zoo - week 3,4,5,6

OOPS.... i wanted to have a weekly journal thing on my internship.. BUT heh. OOPS..

anyway, not like everyone's interested in the animals that i like to post.. haha.. and i realise that i dun bring my camera ard that much anymore. sigh..

btw, the camera that i've been using for the last one year (i think.. or more than that.), is the casio exlim which i just bought from lionel for $150... yay!!! cheap cheap.. plus it has so much sentimental value since i've been using it so much more than lionel.. heee.. he got a new (really fat and heavy) camera that takes really good pictures that mine cant.. esp at night.. so it's good i suppose..

so anyway, here are some animals shot that i took that are pretty nice..


this shot is of the proboscis monkey.. duno what's up with them that day.. all looking downwards.. hmm..

a jaguar. some animal leg was hung there during their token feeding session and this silly jaguar bit onto the leg and refused to let go even when it couldn't get a bite out of it.. so it was dangling there for pretty long.. like 10-15 mins!!


white tiger.. i love them.
this one should be omar. the only male white tiger we have at the zoo.
baby rhino! jelani is its name.. if i'm not wrong.


the other day i witnessed rhinos fighting.. the next day when i went back, i saw that one had a wound. guess it lost the fight.. but luckily it's not too bad..

cotton-top tamarin? i think. haha.. these animals look like aliens.. their faces at least. haha. since they're free ranging, they can come quite close sometimes. :)
douc langurs or costume apes. they like to back face everyone when they're eating. they're really really pretty.. if u look at its eyes, u will be lost forever.. they have really pretty eyes..
white-faced saki monkeys. only the males have the white face. the other one is a female.. so it doesn't have that.
komali. our matriarch elephant. pretty huh. but she likes to take her own sweet time doing stuff.. like walking, lying down, etc.

baby orang utan!!
these two orang utans look damn bored during photography session. haha. looks like 2 old man..
baby orang utan will always hang on to its mom.. so it will keep pulling the fur of its mom to prevent from falling.. but being curious and mischevious, it was trying to reach for the plants too..
this particular orang utan always looks bored and hardly participates in the photography session. it will always move to another branch when it's time to take photos.
tree kangaroo! i'm really happy i got this shot.. cuz usually u hardly spot this animal. and when u do, u cant get any nice pictures.. it's always blocked by leaves and all..

baby baboon.
nice picture of a spider web.. :)
i really like this photo too.. it's really clear too.. i feel like a pro when i look at this photo.. haha! somehow..
my ride at the zoo!! this is the buggy i usually drive ard when i bring media pple around.. pretty nice huh.

me n my brother.....

the penguins are new!! but they look like robots.. haha.. too squarish i think.
2 of my intern friends.. we went to the night safari on thurs night. and i realise that i am pretty short!! yikes!.
haha... lastly.. i wanna show off.. MTV VJs May and Choy visited the zoo for a photoshoot.. and i asked to take a photo with them!! they're really very nice, very funny and really friendly!! plus they're really really pretty!! and May said she has the same jeans as me!! which is from pull n bear btw.. haha. May is the one in orange, Choy is in blue..
a closer look. haha. they were standing so close to me, i can feel the heat from their faces! and their arms were around me.. waaaaahhh.. haha!!

ok.. so anyway, i know my job looks damn fun but actually week 6 was a pretty depressing week.. but i shall not say anything here. haha.. i still have 8 more weeks to go... i dun wanna die yet.. just in case anyone reads this.. haha..

anyway, my supervisor is on leave since thurs till wed.. so till then, i'm pretty much independent and kinda lonely and kinda scary.. handling all the visits and all by myself.. i feel like a grown up.. haha. i just hope i dun screw anything up too badly.. yikes. wish me luck! :p

Zoo internship - week 2

hmm.. second week's come and gone.. not too bad. the more interesting days i had last week was tues, thurs and sat. interesting becuz there was filming at the zoo and i can to bring them ard and watch them do their stuff.

On tues and thurs, this filming crew from Dua M Pte Ltd came. They were doing a show which is airing on kids central every Saturday at 1pm. It’s called ‘no problem bureau’.

At first when I saw them it was a little weird cuz it’s my first time bringing a filming crew ard so being the nervous sort, I was going a little crazy.. and plus I dun watch kids central so I din expect them to be dressed the way they were. Heh.. see photos to know what I mean. Anyway, it was not too bad. The crew was really friendly.

OH!! I almost forgot.. I just passed my buggy driving test on Tuesday morning!! Was supposed to drive this filming crew ard but I really wasn’t too confident. Haha.. and plus my supervisor wasn’t too sure I can drive yet.. so haha.. but anyway, the driving thing really made my day.. :):)

On thurs, the same crew came back to finish their filming.. so it was pretty nice too.. just watching them and laughing along. Haha..

Oh.. and apparently they’re quite a hit with the kids. Like they’ll be kindergarten kids walking pass them and shouting “Yugo or Yuko (name of girl) and Mego (name of guy), Saturday, kids central, 1pm.. No Problem…” haha.. so it was quite nice. Like they’re really famous.. haha..


they were filming and i was keeping myself busy, taking photos of them and the animals. :)


they keep having to stop their filming cuz the kids were shouting and waving at them. haha..

there was this scene with one of our zookeepers. he was so funny! he was telling me that he did national geographic and animal planet before but never kids central. so the producer was asking them to relax and be more animated. it was hilarious. haha.. i took quite a number of videos. but i dun think i'll upload. heee..

here are some picures of some animals that i took.. this is a picture of merkats. there're really quite cute. one of the animals i love.. hee.. they always stand up to keep a lookout for predators and all.. doing sentry duty. :)

common iguana. this was allowed to roam at the fragile forest exhibit. i was pretty close to it.. and it was pretty big..

2-toed sloths enjoying fruits. this was also taken at the fragile forest.

these are like fruit bats. there's a name for them but i cant rem. haha.. they pretty harmless..
smiggle. haha! it's actually a little baboon.. i took so many pictures of this little guy.. he's cute.
banded mongoose. they're quite similar to merkats i think. but these are pretty smelly.. cuz they like to use urine to mark out what's theirs.. and they use it pretty often too..
check this orang utan out.. it was so bored of pple lining up to take pictures with them.. it was just looking at its nails, puffing its cheeks, lying ard.. haha.

ring-tailed lemur.. this animal was jumping all ard.. freaked me out a bit actually but i realise it doesn't really attack unless u provoke it.. which is like most other animals.
rrrraaarrrr... tiger!! heee. nice picture huh!!
it's actually just a paper bag.. can u tell? haha.. there are only white tigers at the singapore zoo.. which are so so so so pretty.. i absolutely love them.. the orange ones are found at the night safari i think.

ok..that's the summary of my week 2 of internship at the zooo zoo zooo.. :) i'm actually blogging in the office because my supervisor is not in today and she din leave work for me.. hmm.. i should msg her later or something. oh well.. btw, can check out the "no problem bureau" show on sat.. think the one on the zoo is airing this coming sat..

ZOooOOOoooO - week one.

The night before I started work, I was really really excited and worried. And my mind wondered a lot.. i purposely went to bed late so that hopefully I’ll just be too tired to think and just fall asleep but it din work at all. In the end, I only slept like 2 hrs before having to get up to get ready for work.

When I got there, I was kinda nervous just thinking of meeting pple and my supervisor. And when I got there, it seems like my supervisor decided not to meet me that day. She took that day off cuz tues was labor day so that she can have a long weekend. Great. And she left me a list of 3 things to do for that day with someone else.

1. walk around the park
2. watch the animal shows and feeding sessions
3. visit the night safari and zoo websites

so while the rest of the interns were introduced to the office pple and all, I was pretty much alone.. really lonely.. and I realized that corp comms.. (I’m in the corp cmms department btw, which is under marketing.) had only 2 pple. Me and my supervisor! Great. So anyway, I was kinda relieved that my first day was not too bad la. Just walking ard, take my time n all. And lionel came to accompany me in the afternoon to watch some animal shows and went for dinner with me. So first day was pretty great.

Wed, my second day at work. It was also the day I really get to meet my supervisor. Was still nervous although she was the one who interviewed me. Because on the first day of work, I heard that the previous intern under her left me a message, wishing me good luck and all cuz my supervisor is a pretty hard woman to work under. Hmm.. so far, not too bad I guess.

Anyway, I guess I’m not used to it yet but everyone pretty much communicates over email. Even my supervisor when she wants me to do something, she would inform me via email.

Let’s take this for example:
The first email I got from her asking me to do stuff was that wed. she had this email from ochre pictures or something to come to the zoo to do some interview. She conveniently told them to contact me when they are at the entrance and forwarded me the mail. Wahhhh.. when I saw the mail. I was like “HUH?!?! Like that also can??” and my heart was racing like mad after that. Haha. But it turned out pretty fun. One of them was my friend from work n travel. Haha. Small world. And it was nice just listening to them interview the keepers. The keepers are all pretty friendly and really interesting. I cant help but wonder why I’m not doing their job but stuck in an office. I envy them. Sigh.. oh well.

Thursday and Friday was pretty ok too. Replied to the public’s feedbacks, brought more media pple ard, read magazines on the zoo. Yup.

Oh.. and anyway, meals are provided for staff.. but I haven been having a great appetite. So as usual, the interns I eat with, they’re like “no wonder u’re so skinny..” argh.. to everyone who said that or want to say that to me.. “NO it’s not cuz I dun eat much. I dun eat a lot during main meals cuz I eat way too much junk. I cant help that my dad is skinny that’s why I’m skinny. And NO, I’m not on a diet. I just get sick of food easily so I cant finish my food. I need variety. Arghhhh!!” haha.. chill ya chill. :p

hmm.. let's see..
mon: had sweet n sour fish, 2 kinds of veg and rice.
wed: mee rebus (that i totally dun eat.)
thurs: chicken chop, veg, butter rice
fri: nasi lemak.
not toooo bad for now i guess.. monday is chicken rice!!! whooopeee..


anyway, i know this is a long post. haha. haven been blogging laa. anyway, here are some photos. enjoy...


this was taken on the first day.. i usually sleep on the bus but i was way too excited to be sleeping. i managed to take this as the bus was turning in to the zoo. the sbs bus felt like a staff bus for the zoo cuz at that time, pretty much everyone going there were going to work. i was 40 mins early on the first day..


this is the corporate office. a look behind the wooden door which separates the public from the office. haha. it's pretty cool. everything is glass.. i think it's cuz of the open concept that they have. and outside of the office is like a pond thing with huge trees. nice huh..

this is my table, my computer, my phone . and if u look carefully, to the left, i have my junk food. haha! not alot la.. but sufficient for now. i keep bringing stuff in.

like i said, i was walking alone in the park on monday morning. so i can only take photos of myself. haha. i look cock-eyed man..

crocodile!!! eeks. it was really near man.. scary.. one of the animals that i'm scared of most is the crocodile. i cant stand them.. they freak me out.. and this one was really really near. i felt like i can drop in anytime man..

that's lionel with paul.. haha.. check out the nose man..

OTTERS!! managed to catch the otters feeding. cute!! they had this bucket full of fish and each took turns to take one out then swim away to enjoy.. and they'll swim back to get more..

baboooooons. check out this dude out. check out what he's doing. compare this picture with the one following it. heh. i took a video actually. but not gonna put it up.

on thurs, i brought someone to take photos of the polar bears. and i regretted not taking my camera with me. so on friday, someone else wanted to see the polar bears.. so i decided to take the camera with me. so while the professional was snapping away, i was too!! haha. of cuz the photographer was a little amused but i just smiled and carried on. haha! oooooops. oh well. interns can be forgiven. heh!

so anyway, inuka is the son of sheba, who is bigger than her. and he just went through moulting and his new fur is growing back so he is a little blackish..

inuka enjoying his fish!
so that's abt it for now i guess. :) one week down.. 13 more weeks to goooo~~~ yikes. haha! i wish it was a little shorter actually. but oh well.

PS: i dunno what's up with the underlining at the front of this post.. i cant seem to get rid of it.. argh.
