Sunday off...

Finally, a Sunday off! YAY! Next Sunday i'm off too cos i'm going to Singfest! One Republic, Jason Mraz and Pussycat Dolls, here I come!

Was supposed to meet the 4/5 gang on Friday night, but was a bit sick. Then had to work on Saturday, so had to go home and rest. Urgh... Then on Saturday, I basically had to work the whole day with a sore throat. On some feedings, I had to shout, and my throat was so itchy! I even coughed during my polar bears! But, managed to make it through. Gotta say thanks to this new girl who helped me carry my bag when I was feeling weak.. thanks! Yup, there are new people again. I think only 1 of 2 will be able to survive. Well, at least I proved to myself that I can stay! Recently I took a new punch card too. Who knew I would be taking my 3rd one? Haha...

On Friday, I bumped into my cousin-in-law Wendy at White Tigers. I haven't seen her in so long and I had to take a second look to be sure! She was there as a parent volunteer with her son, my nephew, Glenn. No luck in finding him... So we had a nice chat and took some pictures! So finally ya'll can see me in my full uniform!

My sis and her boyfriend are taking this cooking class now. It's real expensive, $200 per class, but its a small class and the tools that they proide are real cool. So each week i'll get a sample of what they've learnt. This week, its some chocolate pastry along with jelly. YUM! :)

So I'm updating as I watch Monster House. Absolutely cute show. One of the main characters is called Chowder and the chinese subtitle for his name says ''ai chi gui'' as in ''love to eat ghost''! Funny...

Woke up at 8.20 today, ate, played Sims and now I have to go prepare for another day of work. Off days are just too short man...

Update on my day off

There's been a lack of pictures on my blog recently, so I've decided to finally put some work pictures up...

Here's Karmilah and I right before Jungle Breakfast. We were waiting to start so i decided to whp out my phone and take a picture...

And here's a picture of me taken by Nizam, who came in the same time as me, just 4 days later. I didn't expect him to take such a close-up picture, especially after walking around all day (look at the shine on my face!), but the point was to see my name on the pacer (like a walkie) cos I finally got my own! And on Sunday I got my own earpiece as well! :)

Things are going alright at work. Most of the keepers are quite fun and I like the interaction with tourists. Recently I encountered a german girl who was a fan of hte german football team too, and a real cute girl came up to me and asked me where the ''money shop'' was. She was asking for the ATM... :)

Yesterday was my day off too. I wanted to go to town to try to get some accessories which was uneventful, but mum and I bought a whole bunch of DVD's! She struck 4-D again, so we bought I Am Legend, Eastern Promises, Dan In Real Life and Step Up 2. Mum bought a CD for herself. Before we did that, we went to Hip Diner and I ate a LOT! I eat when i'm happy so I had a sausage-thingy, milkshake and an extra mashed potato. I was FULL! Then I met my old senior Chan Wai Keen! Real pleasant surprise... We also went to watch Wedding Daze starring Jason Biggs and Isla Fisher. It was rather entertaining but wasn't a well made film. The editing was kinda bad and the script, although funny and entertaining, didn't have a whole lot of depth. I recommend it if you just wanna have a laugh...

Hope ya'll are doing better!

Ho Hum...

Who'd ever thought I'd be part of the working crowd? Not me...

My life now = work+home+off day+dunno what to do with off day

Recently I had 3 off days in a row. On the 3rd day I didn't know what to do... Haha... So, I spend most of my off days with friends, watching movies with my mum and playing Sims. Exciting huh?

My internet system was down, therefore the lack of updates. It still is down, but we installed Hubstation and I can use that to surf the net, but at a rather low speed... Hubstation is cool! Just set the time and it'll record for you to enjoy when you come back! Total cost almost $200, but highly recommended...

So I watched The Dark Knight on Thursday and I loved it! Heath Ledger was AMAZING! Really, the performance of his career. Just sad it was probably his last... You rock man! The film was rather long, but it was enjoyable, kept me on the edge of my seat and the music was fantastic. Highly recommended... :)

Take care and have fun everybody!

Stupid...

I was gonna draw out money after work. There were 2 ladies already there. 2 angmohs were standing right behind them, but not close enough that I know they're friends (which the angmohs and the ladies turned out to be), just the normal distance you're supposed to stand when using an ATM machine. So after the ladies were done, I was waiting for the angmohs to go next. They still stood there. I was about to ask them whether they were in the queue when this idiot secondary school girl went to use the machine. Frustrated, I blurted out a little pissed: ''you're not using the ATM?!?''. Their stupid mouths moved and ''no, we're not'' came out. I wanted to blurt out something meaner, perhaps scold them in my lmited chinese or hokkien, but decided to control myself. I ended up just saying ''well, now that girl has cut my queue''. The stupid angomhs replied back with their stupid face ''erm... its not my problem''. C-B. Idiots man...

So last Saturday, I went out with Kalthoum. Went Borders to buy a book about animals. More sort of an encyclopedia. Then went over to HMV to buy a DVD and a CD by Katy Perry. In one day, I spent almost a quarter of my paycheck! Haha... Pace yourself Kelyn! Then later on met up with Johan and Razinah. Kal ''abandoned'' me again (hee...) and left about 5. I waited until 7.30 before they arrived. I haven't waited like that in a long time! Then, a funny thing happened. We were gonna watch deception. Since I was there, I bought the tickets first. I told them I was at Cathay Orchard. Both of them went to The Cathay near PS! Haha... Both of them! Guess I gotta be more specific next time!

Take care ya'll! :)

Getting There...

Yup, my work is getting better. Tourists seem to like my presentations! Yup, I got 3 compliments today! One from a little girl, then a man, then a young, pregnant couple. This couple was adorable. The girl had beautiful eyes, like a greenish-brown, and she was 6 months pregnant. They started asking stuff about the baboons, then we started talking about food! Then I said bye to her, got changed, then went to wait for the bus. At the bus stop, I bumped into them! We got on the same 927 bus and started talking about where they've been, where they should go, then they asked a lot of singaporean questions like language and housing, blah, blah. So nice! I had such a good time with them. I enjoy my job when i'm actually out doing it! The people still take some time to get used to...

I'm making more friends now, getting to know the photographers and people selling drinks. I aksed my older cousins the other day and they said they have to drag themselves to work too! I guess its a universal thing... Hee... Like one of the keepers said, during working time, he's sick, but after work, not sick! Haha...

Ah well, at least I had a good practice today and I met some real nice people!

Take care ya'll! :)
