The First Time Of Everything

Had my zoo guide training again on Sunday. This time, they've prepared a guiding practice for us to do. Each of us did 15 minutes of guiding in a group of 5. So that's not too scary compared to presentation plus the 5 people were just my classmates. Haha.

In my very first guiding practice, I talked about these pelicans. Haha. I chose to go first in that practice and started at the Wildsea Precinct. The beginning of the Wildsea Precinct is the part where I'm most familiar with so far compared to the Asian Rainforest Precinct (I still can't remember the Sumatran tigers' names). That's why I volunteered to go first. Keke.

The pelicans weren't too hard to talk about. Look at its mouth from above. So big. Haha.

My first guiding practice wasn't too bad with no preparations at all. Lol. Everything was just based on my memory because I really didn't have the time to go through and read all the information seriously yet. I even got the most famous Australian fur seal's gender wrong. Aikss... Soooo sorry Silva, I thought you're a handsome boy. I should dig a hole and hide my head. @@" But all of them said that I explained the sponges very well. :D

I've still got a 3 minutes talk on the animal of my choice. So my choice is this hooded plover. I've already prepared the talk and did a lot of practice. Just worrying about myself getting nervous once I walk to the front with over 40 pairs of eyes locked on me. Feel like there's an internal earthquake with the magnitude of 9 in my body. Pengsan.

By the way, I went to the zoo again today for my mentoring session and the black clouds accompanied me to the zoo too. It was quite a heavy rain, and was also hailing!! Woohoo... My first time seeing hail! I was excited to feel the hail hitting on my hands for the first time. Haha.

However after that, my hands were freeeezing...... :(
