Happy birthday!!!

Friday I bought a couple of cakes to start the tradition of bringing cake to work when you have birthday.

Saturday I woke up at 5:30am, because my family had mistaken the time difference by an hour, so I had to refuse the call and text. I had totally forgot it was my birthday and then I got a video message and a text “Open it now it is important” so I had to go and get my earplugs to figure out that it was a birthday song J. I went back to sleep for another 20 minutes or so and then got up. I packed an extra shirt and a nice pair of shorts, since we didn’t know if we were going to go straight to rays or home before. We had a really good morning run, Cake time, everybody loved the idea of bringing cake for your birthday and mostly they were just happy getting cake, who doesn’t love cake.

I got to go for reptile show, I handled a bearded lizard and held it out for kinds and helped them hold it so their parents could take pictures off them, it was so great and a really rewarding feeling, just happy showing this beautiful lizard to everyone. Since it was my birthday, I got to hold the Burmese python and have a picture with it, uhh so excited, that fella was heavy, but what a beauty. After lunch me and Jarla went to see the bird show before going to do turtle and dingo feeding. It was a rally good bird show, Pio was so funny. We slowly started the turtle feeding and we got people lined up, Pio and I caught a turtle and then the audience had to give them names. The kids loved it.. ready, set GO!!! Turtle Race off they go, it was so close but just at the water’s edge the smaller turtle got up front and we had a winner. We fed the turtles with the remaining fishskins and headed over to the dingoes. Because it was my first time I had to watch and observe so that I next time can help, Jarla had tried it before I helped her hide the meat under rocks in trees and inside bushes, then Pio could tell about the Dingoes while the audience could observe how good they are at climbing trees and finding every piece of meat. We did the bin Run and as we finished it was 04:45pm so we stayed in the park and got ready for Ray’s Surprise party, we were ment to meet at around 05pm, since ray could be back any time around 05:30pm we got up there and almost everybody was there and Ray’s house was so amazing. He had a lot of different fish, lizards and birds, he also had a lot of different tree carvings and because he is homosexual and has a friend that is a great wood carver he had a half meter long Peni* standing on his dining table. I helped Kates husband Daniel with the grilling, we got really good barbecue and just had a really good time. At around 20:30 will and the girls got a bit tired and Will asked me “if I was getting tired” I heard it as “if I was having a good time” and I was like, Yea for sure, then he was like do you want to go home and I just replied by reflex “NOOOOO!” But okay, we had had a good time and it was getting late. So we were back at the hostel around 9pm, as we pulled in Kenzo was parked right behind us him and Carolina was having pizza on the front seat in the car, we planned to meet up at 10:30pm, because Carolina had something she had to be done with before we go. So Alisson, Carolina, Nele and Kenzo wanted to go out to celebrate my birthday. We were just thinking a single beer at the Curtyard or something, but the Curtyard closed at 11pm So we ended up going to a club, we played a couple games of pool. We ended up first going home at 02:30am, because Me, Nele and Kenzo had to work the next day or actually later, we got 3 hours of sleep and went to Work J if you can go out drinking all night you can go to work all day.
