I started work as a part-time guest service officer at Underwater Wrld Singapore last month. I've never remained at any job longer than 4 months and no doubt for this one I forecasted myself to last for only half a month. Interestingly, the environment and colleagues changed that perception and I'm already heading to my second month. The job itself is growing on me. When I'm bored I get to touch/feed the animals. Anywhere else, you'd find me playing games, surfing the net or worse, grabbing for a snack. And when I'm itching for a conversation, the tourists keep me company and when they ask me questions about the animals and I have the answers, I feel like I'm beyond smart. haha. Best part is the animals do the quirkiest things when you least expect them to and on those days, I head home with a smile and I'd chuckle to myself in the train. Like the other day, I was sleepy as hell so I decided to stand by the Touch Pool and for no reason the archer fish spit water up almost 1.5m high and it rained on me. Everyone laughed. But hey I woke up!
This job is for keeps until I have the chance to grab my dreams. Even when I'm plagued with moodswings while heading to work, I go home happy because a friend or the animals gave me a story to share. If you guys head down to Sentosa and have the cash, visit Underwater World. Swear to god Gracie our dugong is a cutie pie. She sleeps and even close her tiny eyes like a baby. But when you knock gently on the acrylic wall she tosses and turns on the aquarium floor like a pudgy little girl irritated by an alarm clock. haha. If you're lucky enough you might even get to see the sharks and our dolphins mating right before your eyes. That is if you're into that sorta thing I guess. haha. Our fur seals are the smartest if you ask me. Sometimes I feel like breaking the rules at the risk of getting fired and just run up to them and give them a big hug but of course their fangs aren't really welcoming. Neither is their fish breath. But they're too cute, I promise you.
Here's hoping for more good memories. It always sucks when a job starts getting unbearable. I shall upload some shots of the animals here tomorrow. For now I'm off for a night run. Photos of Doutzen Kroes is just making me feel lousy about myself.
