Off Day

Was called by my boss last night, and was informed that all four of us OJTs were getting offs! But it does not mean that it is all play and no work, because we have to present all 12 scripts to her by Monday! Luckily I am in token 3, because the token 1 feeders actually have 18 scripts. So that makes me pretty fortunate to be in token 3.

Well, the past few days on the zoo has been rather fruitful. I got to meet more colourful personalities. And also watch how the presentors worked under pressure when there was no soundman and when they slipped wrong information of the animals.

I don't know about the rest, but the shows have been making my days more and more sian. I'm not saying the shows are sian, but watching them over and over again, makes everything so... expected. But I must applaud the presentors who made the shows possible. I mean I've been working for less than two weeks, and I'm pretty bored by the usual routine already. And yet, they who have been working for many many years, always show up and present with so much magnificence, and twinkles in their eyes, never failing to grab the attention of the audience.




Well, I am sure that it's pretty boring for me to rattle on and on about my work in the Zoo right? So, I'll end this post with a short quiz that I got tagged. I love quizzes not only because they help to take up time, but also because they let you think of things that you often never question yourself about. So here goes:

Day 5 and 6

Well, yesterday and today were actually a blast. I not only managed to keep the dens clean, but I also got praises because I managed to catch up with the faster ones.


There were a couple of hiccups in between, like when I got shoved in the chest by a guy during crowd control. He was apparently not satisfied and did not want to listen to me, thus forcing his way past me, into the already fully packed amphitheater where the show "The Rainforest Fights Back" was on. Not forgetting our Minister Of Defence, Mr Teo Chee Hean, being present yesterday.


But there were many events that covered up the unhappiness. I got alot of waves of goodbyes by the visitors. And for the first time in my Life, spoke Mandarin in the zoo. I even directed some of them to their whereabouts in Mandarin!

Kids blew kisses and adults thank me. I guess that was enough to make my day much happier.



But on a serious note, tomorrow's my evaluation day. And I am a tad bit nervous. It has not been my first speaking infront of people. But this is definitely a first in trying to memorise 4 scripts, regurgitating them in the best tone and fluency, in front of two "judges".



Let's just hope I make it through Doom's Day tomorrow. Hahah.






And for those who texted and tagged me and offered me encouragments, thank you very much. It may seem "aiyah, like that only ah...", but it's the little encouragements like this that actually do motivate a person into achieving his/her goals. Thank you for being my pillar of support!




If I do get the job, find me when you want to have lunch at KFC, got 35% off! hahaha.



Take care. Loves.
