My reaction after pulling a muscle..

Then came a day when we were working as usual and I had been given the task of collecting browse (leaves) for the use of enrichment for the bear cubs. I approached a small macaranga tree only to find that the leaves and branches were far out of my reach. I then decided I should pull myself up and cut down a few lower branches. and that I did manage to do but not before pulling a muscles in my arm which was not the most enjoyable experience in the world. my arm was HURTIN.. This was my introduction to the newest volunteers Hiu and Estee. I went to the center office clutching my arm in hopes of dampening the pain and having a quick rest. There, I came up two Chinese/Malaysian women, whom i had no idea were starting their first day of volunteering, cleaning out every drawer and arranging objects and items about the office. Estee, who I found out was a Nurse working and living in England, quick convinced me to ice down my arm, gave me panadol painkiller and wrapped my arm in a sling (my first time ever!). Hiu, (from kuala lumpur) who is one of the friendliest people I have ever met, (besides Roshan) then offered me white chocolate almond treats peppered with dark chocolate powder to easy my suffering! who could ask for more? I have the biggest respect for these two women and hold them in high esteem. thanks girls!
