On Wednesday (8th June), I headed down to the zoo for my 10-12 volunteer duty as per normal.
Except that unlike the usual rainy weather, it was actually sunny... Sunny is probably an understatement though
Attired in my Conservation Ambassadors polo and a pair of jeans the heat was SWELTERING. Even the bunnies I handled were grouchy.
Well, at least I met some nice visitors that day. Actual conversation besides the usual random questions that get thrown at me. For once, no scared children that nearly threw the bunnies off their laps!
At 11.30 I put the bunny back,m because I couldn't find another one from the hutch that would be suitable to bring out (all of them are handled in 1/2 hour rotations) and continued my duty at the Kampong House, a tour guide of sorts. There I bumped into two of my fellow CAs trainees that failed their spoken test the first time around. I stood there to listen as they were presenting to the Education Dept staff, though I got shooed away after giggling at a small mistake they made.
I stopped by the stables to look at the horses. Belle, a brown mare, let me give her cheek a rub and a pat.
At 12 on the dot I packed up to head back to Corporate to sign out for the day.
After that however, I headed back into the Zoo to spend an afternoon snapping photos and walking around with some friends (bringing a change of clothes didn't cross my mind, and I totally paid the price for it. the heat was unbearable)
BUT... I GOT TO FEED THE GIRAFFES! They have such long lashes and delicate faces and purple tongues! I think I might have a new favourite animal. Sadly I don't have a nice photo of me feeding them
Here are my best shots! Take a look at my Photostream for all the rest =)
