hie..you've heard about da white tigers mauling a worker at da zoo right? my condolences to da man..but i wonder what's gonna happen to da tigers..knowing singapore..there's a possibility that they might put da tigers to sleep..even if they are endangered.
apparently they are still investigating why da man jumped into da white tigers moat..all animals follow their instincts..i sincerely believe that they would only attack if they feel threatened..provoked..hungry..or protecting their young/territory..umm..i guess that gives them plenty of reasons to attack already...but im still surprised..
if you've seen da white tigers...and i've seen them so many times...you'd realise that they are pretty docile..sleeping all day...i even saw one of them sleeping with it's legs all up in da air before...haha...this usually happens to animals in conservation...because they are always fed..dont have to hunt for their own food..they tend to become domesticated..not just da tigers of course...most other animals in conservation too..in night safari..they would give da animals enrichment..to mimic life in da wild..but i wonder if it is enough..many of da animals walk a route in da shape of a figure 8..and that's a sign of boredom....haha you'll see many many 8s around da safari and zoo..
i've officially quit my job at night safari...hahaha hooray for me..i spent 3 years of my youth there..made many friends..had loads of fun...but it's really time to go. i always feel so tired and irritated everytime i work there..not because of my friends of course..its da way they managed da staff...it used to be so much better...with better staff welfare people would want to work better wouldnt they? da only reason why i stayed on for so damn long was because i really love animals..i get to see them for free..anytime...i get to practise my japanese...i get to meet people from all over da world...it's a really flexible job...requires you to only commit 12 days a mth..cannot work just give your duty to someone else..hahaha sounds like a good job doesnt it..pay is peanuts though..haha...
it's supposed to be a conservation effort..but it seems like a money making attraction to me...they'd always collect donations increase da ticket price..but we'd still hear about animals being killed off because of lack of funds...is it really true? who knows..a lot of times i feel that da media in singapore is either really naive or FULL OF SHIT..it's like a drug dealer..they hide da truth...and cannot sell da truth...you get what im trying to say? hahaha..probably cos da tourism industry brings in lots of cash for sg..
uncle eng kiat..my godfather...he's da king of japanese station..im queen by da way...LOL..worked at night safari for 14 freaking years...he works well..really well..just that his way of speaking was really gruff..and one day a guest complained that he was rude...so he was suspended..for 2 weeks..one complaint in 14 years mind you...and after 2 weeks he loyally came back to work...and they sent him home...he was fired....no re-embursement..no nothing...even though NS is a part time job...it is still a full time part time job...it's not a temp job where you freaking work for few months and quit...but still nothing..nothing for 14 years...what is this? biasedness? doesnt singapore encourage da old to work because of our aging population? he's only 56..still strong..can work..utterly ridiculous and heartless...
there was a time..really really long ago..i wasnt there yet..heard from another staff...that a black out occured in NS...and one of da tigers managed to escape...haha...it walked past da tram station and da guests all thought that it was all part of da safari experience...haha...funny right..no..haha...it didnt attack anyone..just simply walking past..but it got shot...couldnt they have tranquilized it instead?
if they're really gonna put da white tigers to sleep..anyone wants to petition with me? hahaha..seriously would a petition even work in singapore? or our democracy only means we give you a choice a) follow government b) follow..oh look government again! oops please dont sue me..seriously..i have no money. LOL

Can't believe I'm commenting cause of the tigers, anyway a petition won't work unless it gets the attention of the media. And the guy was clearly suicidal, so the tigers were kind to help him.
And if you read the reports, 2 zookeepers were armed with rifles to shoot but didn't do so, prolly coz the white tigers are too rare. So don't worry they won't be put to sleep.
yeah i just read it..you shouldnt believe everything da media says..it might be a cover up. da rhino incident at ns..when it crushed da girl's leg? was blamed on guests' using flash photography..ridiculous. anyway if you think about da repercussions of killing da white tigers i think they would rather let da guy die. no offence meant nordin. they'd be sued by animal associations from all over da world and not forgetting to actually bring in an animal as rare as da white tiger it would be around a million bucks? i know pandas are a million. white tigers should be around da same? and they have 3. so wouldnt be easier if they'd just compensate da guy's family? or worst blame him for being suicidal and not give da family a dime? haha macdonalds (money grubbing suckers) monopolize da hierachy in da wildlife reserves singapore association..seriously i wouldnt be surprised. sorry loading an emo dump here. haha
