Best Friend
Awesome Creatures
Date Report: 29th November 2008
My job for this few days is Vending
That means selling popcorns, cotton candies, plush toys, ponchos in different shows like in the Shamu(Killer Whale) Show, Dolphin show, Pets show and the Sea Lion & Otter show.
So before the show starts, i will be start selling those stuff to the guests..
But what i wanna blog today is about the Amazing relationship between us and the awesome creatures.
(Photo by Emily)
I was so touched every single time when i watch the showsEven i repeat and repeat watching those shows, i still feel like crying..
But its tears of joy...
It is so touching to see the strong bonds between the trainer and the awesome creatures..
They work together to perform and collaborate so well in all the shows.
They build trust with each other using different language, they love each other....
(photo from Google)
LOVE the awesome creatures...We think we are cleverer....
We are also ANIMALS... We are MAMMALS...
Why should we think we are cleverer??
Juz because of super technology? exotic languages & culture? or something even cooler?
I think we should watch more programs in Animal Planet
Look at them!
They also know how to build their houses!
Different species build different houses and they are way cooler than our BORING bunglows, terrace houses, apartments etc.
They also have their own language!
Different species speaks their own language and communicate as well as us do! They cooperate, they dun BACKSTABBED each other! They are more cooperative!
They will hunt their food themselves!
Juz the same as us, we work we earn money, we get food. They hunt their food themselves and they need to try more harder because WE ARE EATING THEIR FOOD TOO!
They had invented lots of things for themselves! So do we!
They are juz the same like us! We are actually the same as them!
So why would we say we are THE MOST CLEVER CREATURE ON EARTH?
Look at how the trainers train them..
Trainers speak ENGLISH! But they obey, they listen!
Do we know whale language? or Dolphin Language?
Yes, actually we are all brilliant!
Because WE ARE THE SAME......
Stop Stop Stop!
Stop buying genuine leather or fur!
Stop supporting animal testing brands!
Stop being irresponsible if you own a pet!
Keep the oceans clean!
Save eletricity, Save water!
Recycle, Recycle, Recycle!
Today i saw a cute T Shirt
Its a tiger holding a sign saying:
"Be Comfortable With Your Own Skin and Dont Take Mine"
But its for women, if not I will buy!
Take it to heart, Keep it in mind
Connect with the colours of this life..
Playing our part, Making some noise
Joining together with one voice..
Its our world,
Its our chance,
Let's make this right...
--Sea World, Orlando
We share the world together..
We must Love the environment and Love every one of us too! : )

Alone
Date Report: 22 November 2008
Today is my last training day
The problem is, seems im the only one who get this specific job!
And this training is only for ppl that invovled in.
So, today is a lonely day for me then!
Hmm....this morning im quite nervous~
Oh my god!!!!
Im going to take the trolley alone~
Im going to walk alone~
Im going to attend the traning alone~
Everything i hav to do by myself!
Before i left, i took a deep breath and tell myself:
I can do it, Dun be nervous, Everything will be alright!
Slowly walk to the trolley station and reach the place...
I reach there early, so i sat down and wait wif my ipod on
Still, very very nervous
Im quite scared of meeting different people...
As...i mean...like strangers maybe....
Have to make frens and all.....
The powerful powerful english~~
That i scared later i accidentally add some '-lah' or '-loh' in my sentence..
Haiz....Ok! and Im shy~
Today i saw clouds!!! For almost 5 days, i haven seen clouds in the sky
But everything turns out well!!
Even better than i expected!
I made new frens, all of them are from different parts of US
New York, Venezuela, Florida etc..
There are a bunch of high school students too! They are very fun!
They are really impressed by the differences of our culture and they think its cool
Our ppl, names, religion, and language. I taught them mandarin today! heehee!
Even my Sony Ericsson K810i was being impressed by them and they think our cell phones are way cooler than theirs...
Our water taps are also one of the things they impressed of, as...its not automatic...=.=
Hmm...Ya, well, its juz like we also impressed by all of their stuff!
So nice training day, we had role plays and all
Interesting and funny!
I got my schedule today!
As i wished, i get to work 5 days and 8.5 hours...
Its the maximum i think! But i willing to work more...haha!
Then i took the trolley back, help Ems to buy torchlight in Publix and walk home.
Its quite cool being alone...
To test my courage, confidence and independence.
All Passed!
