Hi folks.
Ok so Ive skipped a few days as can't remember what I did most of the time and it's hard enough trying to write the same thing over and over again as it really is(zoo,work,lunch,more zoo work,into town,ber,home,bed!!). Anyway today been a good day! Got up again at 6am no problem...well ish although I was going to take my pillow with me to sleep on!! got a drink and I shower and I was all bright and ready to go!
Today everyone got split into 2 teams. 3 of us would stay and work and feed the chimpanzees,marmasets etc and the other 3 would go and work with the chimps. Today I stayed and work with the orangutans which was really fun actually and I think we managed to do it in a record time. It was harder though just being the 3 of us(well 4 if you include Ili) instead of the 6 of us there was more work to do but we got there in the end. Had breakfast a bit later than usual but I was glad to sit down and get a drink! Finished breakfast and then started making jelly cubes for Wusabi and Sally and Simon(the gibbons!). We let it set while we went on another tram ride around the zoo to get some more photos.
Once we came back, we gave the jelly to Sally and Simon who..were unsure at first but did take it in the end. Wusabi however was not in a good mood and hasn't been atall today. She has bene put into a different cage smaller from the one that she is usally in and I think its really starting to take her toll on it. she biting on the cage and ripping the cage and destorying all the rope that was tied up to let her swing from it. Ili is going to talk to the zoo keeps and the head excectutive to see if they can move her. It was sooo sad as she was screaming and crying and you did just soooo sorry for her!.
Got bitten today....about 7 times actually by misquito's! bloody wee buggers so much for strong scottish blood eh?? Have been rubbing tiger balm on them all day but not sure if its making it worse or better. Think its actually attracting them more to the tiger balm than it was to my normal skin!!. I also got leeched today! :( I was walking into town after work and I didn't even realised it was actually one of the girls that had said "Oh my god look at the blood on ur trousers,I think you have been leeched!!". I turned around and the back of my trousers is covered in blood. Anyone know any good recipes to get blood out?? Im fine though I didn't feel a thing and aparently the leave an antiseptic in ur body so that will be quite good I suppose??
Got something to eat at a malay food court market which was actually quite nice! I got a buffet style with rice,orange chicken and cooked fresh vegetables for 5 ringit(which is like 1-2 pound so it was very cheap!). Just finished and now...well Im here!! lol Meeting the head director of the zoo soon so we all ned to be on our best behavipur for him and for Ili's sake as he is her boss!! Was actually supposed to come to the zoo but ended up leaving later and he's in Kulala Lumpa so it does take atleats 4-5 hours on a bus!! So he's going to join all of us in town for a beer and a chat so that will be a good laugh I suppose!
Anyway plz everyone leave comments!! I havent gotten any yet! :(

Hi Hun
Looks like I'm the only one reading your blog. Maybe it's because you didn't actually tell anyone about it. Alan and Edith only found it through mine so if you email people, let them know about it. I feel sorry for your poor chimps and orangutans. It must be hellish in those cages. Is there no space to build bigger ones? That could be part of your project plan, start cutting back some of the jungle out there lol.
Anyway, leeches aside, I got one too but caught it before it attached, you must remember to check yourself over every few hours. Heard from gran that you would be having a break back in Singapore this weekend. Phone me at Marilyns when you get there.
Keep blogging
