farm week 1

well as u guys know, i went to work at the ALPACA farm for one week, so this is all about the experiences

first day:
woke up at 6.30, atrted driving at 7am, reach there at 8am..... bladdy long one hour drive.
so reach there meet up with the farmer, her name was deborah. she's a very powerful lady, at age 53, she is running the whole farm alone!!! well its not a really bigt farm only 20ha (or ac i forgot liao) so yeah she showed us how to made the alpaca's breakfast.
basically the breakfast includes 2 kinds of hay, 3 kinds of oats, 3 kinds of liquid suppliment, and 4 kinds of other supplements. so mixed it all up and feed all the alpacas.
well i was really amazed at how the lapaca "talk", its like a light curious "hm~" which is soooooooo cute lol.
and it is surprising that the 100 alpacas in her farm all has names!! fancy name... from mayako, to miss divine, isis, cassiopeia, aurora, atikai, sexon, enya, and even shakespear
so yeah first day was baaaaaaaaad, it rained. and we (me and my other classmate) have to work in the rain, fucking cold lor. we spent most of the time indoor, asking her questions for our reports. then about 4.30pm, time to feed them dinner, which is buckets of hay!! well they definately enjoyed it.
so drove home at 5pm, and man it was scary!!!! the country road was so foggy, it felt like i'm in silent hill or so (coz i just watched silent hill trailer the day b4). i can't even see 10m ahead of me, so have to drive slowly lor. got home safely at about 6pm..... another fucking hour drive.

2nd day:

same old thing wake up, drive there. the view in the farm this morning is amazing. it was a cold night b4, and some of the fences and paddicks are actually forzen (not like ice forzen, but maybe a bit on the surface). then as the sun shines, u can see fogs coming out from the fences and paddicks like they are melting!
did the same thing, feed them breakfast, and yeah the farmer let me fed one Squick, who is an alpaca orphan, he lost his mum, so we have to fed him milk ourself. so yeah basically we filled a bottle with de-lact milk, and then put a rubber teat ontop of it for squick to suckle

Squick!!!

then we clean up one of the paddick, then had lunch. after lunch we had 2 hours break, so i went for a walk in the farm. the weather was nice, not sunny, just cloudy and everything just looks so peaceful, the alpacas were busily grazing. and squick kept coming to me, i think he wants more milk lol. feed them dinner, then drove home at about 5pm++
shit was so feaking tired then, nearly fell asleep while driving!! coz the road is alll straight, it only takes two turning from my house to the farm =.= have to slap myself to make me awake

3rd day:
today is where all the actions are!! we mix a female and a male alpaca in a barn, and see them have sex (mate). well according to the farmer, they have to seperate the males and the females, coz the males are horny bastard, and they dun have any mating seasons, so they can go on a mating frenzy!! so they only mix them together when the farmer feel like mating them. so watched two pairs mating for an hour =.=
then afternoon we were cleaning another paddick, picking up poooo..... and i hurt my back while trying to lift a troley full of shit.... i didn't know it was TAT heavy

4th day:
today we plow one of the paddick, dig them up, planted seed, applied ferteliser and cover them up again..... according to the farmer, its to grow grass so that the alpaca can graze on them next season.
then afternoon we gave the younger alpaca boys some vacine and multivitamin injection

5th day
:
MORE MATING! mated 5 pairs i think, and u'll be surprised.... we used 5 females but only 3 males..... yeap they can have a quick fXXX, ejaculate and then immideatly go for another one with another female.... this part will be explained more in other post lol
oh yeah forgot to tell u guys, coz they onl shear the alpacas during august -october, so right now all the alpacas are thick and fluffy. the females's tails are also thick and fluffy, so its quit hard for the male to sometimes "get into" the female. so the farmer have to use her hands to guide the penis into the virgina............ YUCK!!!!
then had lunch, prepare some extra food for the alpacas, and the farmer let us go early!!! which is good coz i was dying from not enuf sleep then.....


so there you have it, my 5 days of farm prac 1. which i sept at 11 everynight and woke up at 6.30am every morning, and then drove two hours everyday there and back again..... so tired of driving!!!

fuffy head

dream a dream

have u ever had a dream that u thought it was real?


there i was in this highway, with desert at both sides
and there were cars driving by, while i stand confusely by the raod
everything was blur, i remember somebody wispering....
something like "hey hey u will understand"
but what was it i will understand?
i don't even know what was it that i dun understand

i was afraid, i remember.
not able to take any steps forward, i just stood there

i dun remember the faces of the passengers in the cars
they weren't driving fast, but i couldn't see who they were
but i particularly remembered there was a girl, in this car
she had her red ballon floating outside the window,
and as the car pass by me, she let go of the ballon,
it flew towards me, but i was reluctant to move and grabbed it
and so it flew up sky high...

and then, a car stopped by,
the driver was an old man, i can't remember his face
but i did remember his passenger - an old lady
the old lady walked out.
she looked fimiliar, dresssing like my grandma
she wispered something, i forgotten what it was,
but it was something like do u have my red ballon?
i said no, and she seem a bit sad, and told me this
"then i'm afraid i have to say goodbye"
she then moved into the car slowly, a bit angry but mostly sad
then the driver drove his car away
and i was left alone again.

as she leaves,
i started to choke, gasping for air.
it was a fimiliar feeling,
it was the feeling of crying...
but my eyes were dry, i just sat by the road,
trying harder to breath, while i suffer an extreme unexplainable sadness

which then i understood.... (and i didn't know how)
the old lady was, undeniable my grandmother....


i opened my eyes then, i was back to reality... but is this reality?
the dream felt so real, that the moment i opened my eyes,
i thought i was dreaming of myself in my room, sleeping on my bed......

小插曲 - interlude 6

7月5日,天晴,累了。


失去的,才是最唯美的。
请你不要害怕,因为一切都会很完美。
你所寻找的天体,
会划破天空观测你。



我们都是幸运的孩子,
从来不会哭。
也因此从没见过小丑。
不过海阔天空,有什么是不能的?
现在,已经是过去的,
因为我们不断向前奔跑,
从来没有所谓的现在,
也因此只有未来。
