1. I’m meant to be helping DH format his thesis at the moment (but I’m having a break :)
2. I like the new fruju sorbet iceblocks 3. I’m going to America on the 28th for a month 4. I don’t know how to use a lawn mower, so my sister’s boyfriend just mowed my lawn for me (DH is too busy with the thesis) 5. In exactly nine days, the thesis will go to the binders and I can forget about it 6. I feel like pizza for tea, but also have perfectly good leftovers which I should (and probably will) eat instead 7. DH has grown a beard. I like the look but don’t like kissing him as much now! 8. I’m sunburnt 9. I grew cherry tomatoes (lots of different kinds) from seed this year, and now we’ve got buckets of them. 10. I like my work 11. I have blonde, curly hair. It’s grown recently – when it’s straightened I can nearly sit on it 12. I keep a diary 13. My middle name is Rebecca 14. The place I was born in is now an old people’s home 15. I’m the oldest of eight children 16. I’m not a cat person, but we adopted one by accident, and I love him to bits 17. I want a poodle, but haven’t talked DH into it yet 18. I enjoy baking, and love decorating cakes (but am not really good enough to do anything other than the odd one for friends / family / people at church) 19. I’m a morning person - my brain switches off at about 8.30pm 20. I talk in my sleep. I have conversations with DH (apparently) 21. I went to school with DH and didn’t like him 22. I do now 23. I’ve got a degree in psychology 24. I like diet coke better than real coke 25. I‘m going to get back to helping with the thesis now… -------------

Here's mine copied from facebook.. sorry it's quite wordy..
1. I am an avid watcher of television and movies. So much so, that when things happen around me in real life, I will often associate these events or even just words with certain tv shows (often of the Simpsons) or movies I have seen. I don't generally share these thoughts with people as they occur, as they usually "haven't seen that episode" and an uncomfortable silence follows... My brother would be the exception to this as he does it too. 2. On the topic of tv, I got the idea for both of my daughters names this way. My first born was named from years of watching "Whose the boss?" and always liking Alyssa Milano's name. Kayla was decided while watching an episode of "Life of Ryan"..this was the name of his girlfriend. 3. My mother is Japanese and my father is Irish. I have always maintained that these are the reasons why I am a terrible driver and have a short temper. 4. Over the years I have won a good number of prizes from various competitions... I will pretty much enter anything that isn't too much hassel i.e. no essays involved. The biggest prizes were a trip for 2 to Fiji a few years ago, and last year a prize package containing a DVD player, 10 board games and 12 DVD's (this was also the last thing I won). 5. I used to speak fluent Japanese and no English as a child, however once I was at school and realised it was too different to speak Japanese, I refused to do so, even though my mum tried to keep it going. Of course I'm kicking myself now for being a stubborn little bitch as I can't remember it anymore. 6. As a child, my family once had 12 cats in the house..this was because 2 of our cats had kittens. Mum was happy to whittle it down to 6 by giving half of them away. 7. Unlike most little girls, I played with insects..making them little homes in ice cream containers with holes punched in glad wrap over the top. I also remember searching the backyard with my brother for cicadas to take inside and attach to the net curtains. By the time mum got home, there were probably about 50 of them sitting there chirping away in the lounge. 8. I don't usually participate in movie nights or movie outings with my girlfriends as they all love chick flicks and apparently I have a "mans taste in movies". My husband appreciates my taste in movies though. 9. I am allergic to aspirin and bee stings. Taking aspirin for me will result in anaphylactic shock, which I obviously experienced when I found out I was allergic. My eyes bulged out of my head like those funny goldfish. Thank goodness I'm not allergic to any food items...now that would suck. 10. When I was a teenager I won a beauty pageant at a caravan park. This was an embarassing situation as my friend whom I was holidaying with at the time, had spent some time preparing for the event. Her mother had made a lovely outfit, and she spent the morning doing hair and makeup while I waited to go and watch her. When the show was about to start, one of the judged pulled me up from my seat and told me to get on stage to join in (obviously a very casual thing, as it was a caravan park after all). I had no intention of entering so was the only girl on stage with shabby shorts and tshirt. My friend never invited me to holiday with them again after that. 11. I got married in 2005 in Las Vegas at the Little White Wedding Chapel.. No, not the drive thru or Elvis wedding packages. The backdrop for the photos taken there contain plastic flowers and a plastic horse. We forked out and got some professional photos taken at the hotel we stayed at though, so it's not all bad. 12. Whenever I used to spend hours on the computer playing the Sims, I used to wish I could also fast forward things when back in the real world. Also wished I could rail jump to get around thanks to Quake. 13. Would love to make lots of money from a brilliant web based business that no-one has thought of before. I have some ideas but not sure if I have the motivation to see it through. 14. I have a serious addiction to RJ's raspberry bullets. Luckily not many of my local shops sell them so I can't always indulge. 15. Throughout my life I have had dreams which have come true sometimes years after I have had them. I end up with a serious case of deja vu and then realise that I had already been in the same situation, but at the time the people weren't clear until that moment. No, I'm not a crackpot. I just remember my dreams most of the time. 16. Now that my family is complete (2 kids), I really must try and lose all the extra weight. I didn't feel it was worth trying after the first kid as I was only going to put on weight again. In hindsight, it still would have been worth it. 17. Being a dimple owner myself, I have a theory about people with dimples which isn't always correct, but just guessing for fun has been correct most of the time so far. Whenever I meet someone with deep dimples in their cheeks, they often have birthdays around the same months of June/July or November/December (yeah, ok so it's 1/3 of the year right there)...so I try and start with Gemini or Scorpio..you get the picture.. Me. I'm a Scorpio.. 18. I purchased my first house on my own when I was 25. I'm still thankful to this day that I had arranged a property agreement with my ex before it turned to sh*t. 19. I can't wait for the day when my husband and I can take the kids to Disneyland for a family holiday. Definitely won't do it until they are in double digit ages because I have seen too many miserable little ones at Disneyland, and wonder why the parents bothered. They probably won't remember it anyway. 20. My secret shame is that I watch Home and Away. I guess it's not a secret anymore. 21. The first scary movie I ever saw was "The Incredible Melting Man" and I was 8. I wasn't scared. 22. As a child I often had dreams that the world was full of Vampires and I was the only one not converted. They were never scary dreams though, cause I love horrors. 23. The first cassette tape I ever purchased was Johnny Hates Jazz. "Yeah you're givin' me, givin' me, nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams"... Damn..now that song is in my head. 24. My birthday is on the same day as Gordon Ramsay (except 10 years younger). I love to watch his shows and see people cry. 25. I'm pretty sure no-one can be bothered reading all 25 of my randoms.. but I did it anyway :) |

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. http://www.bigcatrescue.org/cats/wild/white_tigers.htm - 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. ------------- SJ Callum - Dec 2008 Daniel - Oct 2010 |

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? -------------
