Goodbye taitai

@caramelldrops your blog is too pretty and you've made me too ashamed to post in mine. It's all your fault that I'm not blogging regularly! Ok, totally am kidding.

I'm glad to announce that after one horrible interview (oh you won't believe the things i said in that interview), I've landed myself a job. Not my dream job, just... a job. Can't make a career out of it, it's just a J.O.B. I'm all about the pay-cheque.

So before I finally decided it was time for me to get out there to earn some bucks, deciding factor being the close to zero amount in the bank, the days were spent with solo marathon of these shows. I don't mean to brag, but I can finish 3 seasons in 2 days. I'm so proud of me!

Bones: Season 1-5
Criminal Minds: Season 1-5
Mentalist: Season 1-2
Big Bang Theory: Season 1-3
House: Season 1-6
Chuck: Season 1-3
How I Met Your Mother: Season 1-4
Flash Forward: Season 1
Ugly Betty: Season 4
Gossip Girls: Season 3
Lost: Season 6
Melrose Place: Season 1
Cougar Town: Season 1
Heroes: Season 4

and oh, you won't want to go on to the movies.

Roar!

First of all I would like to say that I've not totally given up on my blog. I would really like to share all the boring nitty gritty details with you folks but these days, I can really only manage the first sentence and that's about it. I mean, come on, sorting the pictures itself drove me half nuts!
To clarify: I HAVE NO COMMITMENTS ISSUES.
I just do not possess that huge amount of god-like quality known to us humans as Patience. It is a virtue and I need tons of it.
Ok, now back to me.

The first trip to the night safari since "rolled-down socks and $2 pocket money". It was too long ago, I can't recall. We almost didn't make it and all that blah which I am skipping - it's so dull even my brain won't retain it.
So here we are - to see cute little animals in their cages and to smell their poop. Hippy.
It cost a freaking $32 per individual but totally worth it.
At times, we were literally running on the trail, to get away from FREAKING NOISY Filipinos and other less loud tourists. Then at one point, because it was too dark, Blaise mistook a tourist for JW and it was hilarious. Oh boy, I feel like a kid again.

The night safari show at the Amphi-theatre.
Ok so here's the story: they were supposed to act all scared and pretend a snake was on the loose so they went around in search for it.
I totally bought that story. Please don't judge, this was my first time there since primary school, why don't you get it!!?
So I was totally engrossed watching these other zookeepers frantically looking for that big python when one of more gay-ish of them pointed to my bench and screamed in my face.
I, of course, got the shocked of my life.
and next, he screamed:" AHHHH!!! ....NICE SHOES!!!" -_-"'
So yes, I was pretty embarrassed. I do not like to be at the center of attention but I guess you could say I got a pretty good deal out of my ticket, at least I participated in something~
I mumbled a "hur hur thankew" and was rewarded a freaking grape, just like that 7 year old boy who was so brave to go up on stage. I got a freaking grape! How cool was that huh? We decided to feed it to some animal along the way and oh, good for you lucky otter.
Btw, that giant python was all along kept under someone else' butt. Ugh, I shudder at the thought of it.


The tram was the highlight of my night. To have deers standing beside you and seeing tigers, lions, rhinos, oxes at close range. Totally awesome. Too bad the giraffes were hiding.

I wish I had taken more pictures but it's night safari, it's dark, the animals might go blind so no camera flash is allowed. At least not when the zookeepers are around but this one particular zookeeper keeps popping up everywhere! That is why we had to run.

Next up, to the zoo! Can't wait to catch the penguins and polar bears :)
