Read 2 sad news today... simply disheartening.

1. US Supreme Court ruled that US Navy can continue to use long-range sonar in exercises off the California coast, even though such acts are harmful to whales.

"Even if the plaintiffs have shown irreparable injury from the navy's training exercises, any such injury is outweighed by the public interest and the navy's interest in effective, realistic training of its sailors," the court said in a opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts.

Is war really more important than life? Is destruction really more important than protection? Why do man always value the wrong things....

2.

An incident has occurred at our white tiger exhibit today at 12.15pm. A Malaysian contract worker jumped into the moat and was attacked by one of the three white tigers.

Why did he jumped? Such a violent death.. how scary it must be for the visitors... how unfortunate for the zoo... Just when Kidzworld is having an official opening tomorrow.. Sighz

SZ Tale 13: KidzWorld

Its Kidzworld Docent preview today... and my 2nd duty.. so.. let's talk about my duty first.

Duty at the station again because manpower not alot. Interesting events do happen still. most memorable will be this recount written by my partner and duty ic of the day:

One English lady working as a nurse recognised immediately the stick insect’s eggs on display and was pleasantly surprised to see the Giant Prickly Stick Insect here. She shared with us her experiences of keeping one female given by an Australian friend as pet back home. She said the stick insect would lay one or two eggs (which are the same size as the Malayan Grey Stick Insects’ eggs) everyday all over the house and then she would have little nymphs running around.

Oh then before and after the duty, did a biodome tour.. Simply love the biodome.. one can just get lost inside. Early in the morning I caught sight of the family of ring-tailed lemurs


I Like To Move It Move It
I Like To Move It Move It
I Like To Move It Move It
Ya Like To (MOVE IT!)

Didn't realised that there is a crab in the mangrove area...


Then after the duty, the butterfly lover told me about the butterfly eggs.. so many!!


Oh and we were seeing how a mother sloth (and her baby.. aww so cute) was fighting food with the bat... As you can see, she did succeed afterall.. YEAH


Then we hurried to Kidzworld to grab our KFC lunch...


before boarding the boat. Well actually the event started since morning, just that my partner and I had duty so we could only join the last event.. the boat ride (sob sob we missed the free ben and jerry).. there are a total of 4 boats: Omar, the white tiger; Pedro, the seal; Ah Meng, the deceased orangutan and Komali, the elephant.


Sadly maybe due to the timing we took the boat, nothing much life to see.. but the scenery is beautiful.. and heard the hill myna's bird call. Oh and the boat ride is 5 bucks a ride.. hmm.. wonder when is the next time I can take the ride...
