Hello people!

I went to the Singapore Zoo today, so I'll be sharing about my experience.

Some classes who are doing their project on the Zoo would go on a field trip to there to understand more about the operations and we were also promised to be able to go behind the scenes to see the white tigers and other animals.

With high hopes and expectations, I brought my happy heart and headed off to the Zoo.

Though it is the school's guided field trip, we had to pay for our own entrance fee.

After entering, we were guided on a short walk to the Forest Lodge, where we were given about 50mins to walk around the Zoo to take a look at those animal enclosure.

But as the weather was melting my (project) group members and me out, so after awhile, we walked back to the the cafeteria near Forest Lodge to rest and discuss about project.

When the free&easy time was over, we headed back to the lodge and were seated in a ballroom for a talk that went on for more than 1 hour or so which turned into a lullaby for most of the people.

After the talk, everyone was brought out of the ballroom to take a tram ride to the KidzWorld where the Operation Manager shared with the class about their job, how they manage the KidzWorld and answered questions.

Thereafter, we were given a 10 minutes break to venture around that area. But the weather was burning, so everyone headed for shelter at KFC and decided to fill our tummy for a bit as most of us thought that we would be heading for the animal close up and such.

I was in the short queue for around 15mins to be served as the efficiency of the server was slow and her attitude was quite bad. We don't owe them, neither are we animals.

Sheesh man~

After everyone got their food, we headed back to the meeting point but was told by the guide that as most of the students have to rush back to school for lecture, we will be turning back to the Lodge for some light refreshments and thereafter, dismissed.

It was really very disappointing when we head back to see only sandwiches and some fried samosas, and what was promised to us (animal close ups), was not given to us.

The trip today totally made me feel as though I am fooled, if all we had to do is just to go there to listen to the people share about how their staffs promote from one position to another, and what welfare they give to their workers, I believe they are all on the website, maybe more than that, or we can simply just ask our friends or seniors who are working there for the necessary information.

To think during the last lecture, everyone missed their lunch time just to wait for this lady to come over from the Zoo to share with us what events they hold at the Zoo and Night Safari, and how she psycho all of us to look forward to the Zoo trip. We could have just asked her all those questions there and then, but everyone's attention span had died while waiting.

Who is at fault now?

1. Lecturer who didn't suggest a make up lecture or discuss with tutors to go through lecture during tutorials for those who are on a field trip and thus, caused everyone to feel rushy.

2. The lousy time management of the Zoo's guides?

You decide the answer.

I went to the Zoo with my mother and her friend last year, though we didn't really get to walk around that much cause we were lost along the way and kept going around the same area.

The experience was still quite alright.

But as for my overall experience for the Zoo trip today in one word : Disappointed.

I am glad that it is a cooling night today, so I shall put aside my actually-excited-but-now-utterly-disappointed heart away and rest well for a new tomorrow.

GOOD NIGHT TO YOU, my readers. :)

If I leave this world today:

-What memory would be left in you of me?

-Would you be sad for me?

-Would you miss me as you had lost a friend?

-Would you remember me when my birthday/death anniversary is here?

-Would you hope to have me with you at times when you remember I am not there anymore?

Nothing happened to me, so if you happen to notice this, please don't worry.

This question actually came to me as I felt as though no one bother about my existence at all.
