last friday night, i left the zoo so late because we are all waiting for a new addition in our family... a week before when mr. gaw (owner) told me about the transfer of mork to ark avilon.. i was beaming with pride and excitement, because eversince before i've always adored this animal, the malayan tapir.. it has been a long time since i had this feeling of excitement.. whew, at last around 9:15pm, there comes this big truck.. i can't help but to peek inside.. saw him in his transfer cage, of course he is as cute as ever... when the zookeepers opened his door to lead him to walk to his new enclosure.. it took him a long time to have courage to explore his new home... then it dawned to me, i can totally relate to him... having been in a avilon zoo (montalban) for so long then all of a sudden, in just one snap... things happen...
i have been with prime orienteer for almost 6 years, of course it has ups and downs.. but i know how much i enjoyed and loved my job... it's a dream come true for me... gained a lot of friends, experiences, places to travel and of course boyfriends hehe... i soo love my job that i would never wanted to leave... well that's what i thought until recently... i had to make a big step and decision for my career... when mam stef (avilon) offered me about the job as ark coordinator, things get crazy over my head.. took me days to make a decision... but i have to do it cause that was the time when these crazy snakebite issue was on the spotlight... i know there will be a lot of work to do... and a big feet to fill in... imagine, Ark Coordinator! it means a one hell of a job... at first i got scared, but then again i realized that sometimes you have to move forward and look ahead... moving on does not mean you're going to leave everything behind, it means you're gonna add more to your life... i miss my prime family... they taught me a lot of things... and i will be forever thankful for that... and i am so proud of them cause they have always been supportive of me... though sometimes, i still ask myself... did i make the right decision? i guess it's part of the process.. now, i am building my new family and i'm excited for what's in store for us... and whatever will be the outcome... i know... everything will turn out fine!
by the way, i would like to welcome "mork" the malayan tapir and "chewy and chunkee" the canadian beavers to ark avilon zoo!
