Tommy Lai who has one of the best jobs in the world- or at least he thinks so! He' s a panda trainer at Ocean Park. Find out more about Tommy and his fascinating job in the interview below.
How did you become a dolphin trainer?
I saw an advertisement in the magazine. I thought it sounded like an unusual job so i applied. That was nearly four years ago.
What qualifications do you need to became a panda trainer?
Most of the trainers have a degree- i have a Bachelor of Science in Biology. In the past, most of the trainers studied overground. However, these days there are more graduates from local universities than from overground universities but i was studied at the Chinese University.
What does a panda trainer actually do?
Well, one obvious answer is train pandas. However, we spend less time doing this than people think. Our main responsibility is look after the pandas- to make sure that they are happy and healthy. For example, the first thing i do every morning is to check their temperature. I also spend a lot of time feeding the pandas, playing with them and cleaning them.
Would you recommend this job to other people?
Definitely no because i think no one will have enough patient and too much time to do this job.

Fuk Lam Reflection=]
We walked on the Temple Street, and went to a dirty building which Fuk Lam Church in. In the building, we need to walked on the stairs. It' s tired. Then we went in the Fuk Lam Church. Wow! That' s beautiful! You can see the church is bright and clean! And the brothers and sisters in the church are really kind. After we watch a video, we talk with the brothers and sisters and we had been friends together. That' s was a wonderful day i think.
