Because my adventurous soul was getting a little restless, I decided to spice things up a little bit. Speaking of spice, I continuously tried in vain to improve my tolerance and after months of profuse sweat and burning mouth, I remain intolerant of Asian spice. One day, after lunch I ate a big green chilli ("chilli paddy") whilst having no other food to compensate for it, and it hit me so hard that I really struggled to pay the bill and left in a daze, eyes watering, nose running and ears popping, incapable of speech. I stumbled into a bush and was on the brink of vomiting when Ezra fortunately happened to be driving back to the office and picked me up.
The zoo I worked at was the national zoo and is called Zoo Negara. It is a third world zoo, and as the staff repeatedly told me, very understaffed. It was a 2 and a half hour journey from the Zaids' to the zoo so I went and stayed with 6 very nice chaps in an apartment which was only a 25 minute walk away. I was sleeping on the floor without a pillow but it was very good fun.
