sorry if this makes anyone upset. it sure made me very upset.

they pretty much only exist through inbreeding. and for every normal looking white tiger you may see in a zoo there is about 100more being killed because they are so deformed.

heres a link to some info, read at your own risk though. white tiger lies

I have yet to get around to this on facebook .. maybe I'll just cut & paste

1. I met my DH at work drinks in 2001.
2. I hate bad spelling, grammar and punctuation but my own spelling. grammar and punctuation is getting worse the longer I live in Asia (or perhaps it's just relative to the length of time I have been out of 'school'?)
3. I have a brother and a sister.
4. I studied accounting and law at university but since I left have worked as a kindy teacher and nanny because teaching pays better.
5. I lived in Christchurch until I was 18.
6. Since 2001 I've lived in Wellington, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore.
7. I want to move 'home' eventually but have no idea where that is any more!
8. When random people ask how old Callum is (or make a guess), I just go along with whatever they guess because I can't be bothered with the confused looks when I say "2 months old" and then explaining that he was 2 months early.
9. My favourite chocolate is Green & Blacks Maya Gold.
10. DH just realised on the weekend that it costs $6/250gm block
11. I get really annoyed with people who rush into the lifts in shopping malls when there are people waiting with strollers OR IN WHEELCHAIRS!
12. I am even more annoyed that there is no lift at the Orchard Rd train station so I have to get a cab whenever I go to Orchard Rd.
13. I can't wait for my Mum to arrive this Saturday.
14. I also can't wait to get my hair cut, eyebrows shaped and bikini waxed once she gets here and I have a babysitter during the day!
15. I really miss my Dad and am sad that he can't afford to come to Singapore to meet his first grandchild.
16. I want four kids but DH only wants two. At the moment I think he actually thinks this one is MORE than enough.
17. I usually think of witty comebacks the following day and then spend the whole day imagining myself saying them.
18. I hate confrontation.
19. I hate using those hot air hand dryers in public toilets and carry my own packet of tissues in case there's no paper towels.
20. I my MIL even though she sometimes comes out with random comments that wind me up.
21. I wish our families weren't so spread out across NZ and Australia - might make it easier to choose where to move back to!
22. I am looking forward to our holiday in Bali in June.
23. I really need to arrange for the aircon to be serviced and for a new cleaner but I hate dealing with people over the phone so have been putting it off.
24. I ate Waitrose Stem Ginger biscuits for breakfast this morning.
25. I'd really like a new pair of glasses but can't find any I like more than the ones I already have.

Well Kate because i feel so priviledged to be mentioned in your 25 things i will have to indulge you a little.

It was about 5 years ago and i was walking to meet a guy at around midnight...we were going to meet halfway and then go back to his place (naughty naughty) we met just by this bridge and he was on his bike and said to me that he nearly ran over some guy lying on the footpath. We went back over the bridge and saw this guy and then heard a car door close right next to him so kept going figuring he was drunk and his mates had kicked him outta the car. Hmmmm not quite.... the next day i was watching the news and i saw that a man had been murdered and it was the guy we saw on the ground. It still to this day makes me feel horrible that i didnt stop and try to do something especially as the police didnt find him till 6 hours later... but i did what i could and went straight to the police and gave a statement, and the car i saw was a big lead in the case. But hey not much i can do about it now huh?

That's because you haven't seen mine!! Trust me, they're uglier.


Parki - you have beautiful eyes. They look quite bluish as well - I imagine IRL they'd be like the colour of the sea on a nice day?
