Well, today I managed to slice my left thumb with a vege peeler while peeling a stupidly small potato. So now, my thumbs are sorta symmetrical in a sense that my right thumbnail was grated off while I was grating chocolate yesterday and today the skin on my left thumb is sliced while I was peeling potatoes.
Just goes to show my cooking prowess!
Don’t worry, I bake better than I cook. LOL
Speaking of food, we went to lunch today at Penang Hawker in Northbridge. Had yummy asam laksa and cendol. I miss food at home.
While walking to lunch today, I snapped these pictures. In between snapping both pictures, me and Elizabeth nearly got rolled over by 2 cars….Just prior to that, I was joking that since the 3 boys were in front and so engrossed in their conversation, they wouldn’t notice us screaming for help behind them. Usually its the girls that walk in front so the guys can keep a lookout for them.
But when they heard I think me screeching trying to avoid the car, they stopped and waited for us. Haha…so they do check for us girls once in a while.
That there was one of the cars that we had to avoid. We didn’t look to the left and nearly got hit. Twice LOL
I took the pictures cause they looked quite funny the 3 of them walking in a row with different dress styles and shoes LOL
Today at church we went around getting to know people better and it was quite amusing. Elder James Seow was reacquainting us with the church vision which is “A united people with passion and purpose: Loving God - Making Disciples”. So he was saying we should be united and get to know each others names and such. That’s when my brain went into Champion League mode and I thought, “Hey! We are men united!” Lame but yea.
That’s all for today. Got a ton of work to do 
Finally studies have shown that there is indeed a man drought in Perth.
“Perth women in their early 20s should find a good man as soon as they can because they will never have the same choice in potential partners again.
The latest research into the ratio of men to women by demographer Bernard Salt is another annoying reminder for single ladies that Australia is in the grip of a man drought and Perth is positively parched.”
I just happened to turn on the radio to Em and Wippa and heard that particular piece of news and it indeed intrigued me to the point that I actually googled the article. Who would have thought, Perth was parched in another sense?
And whoever said it is finding a partner needs to be kabooshed in the head.
Goodbye for now, I’ve gotta finish reading 12 pages of a book for bible study this morning.
OK, so I’ve finished my rehab paper. I think I aced part 1 which had the case study and part 3 which was the MCQ questions. Part 2 was a bit dodgy in my opinion, but I did OK I guess. The best part for this exam was that the questions are EXACTLY from the sample paper which was put online. Which lecturer in their right mid would do that?!?! And not to mention the MCQ questions were taken from the same question bank which our CAA lab tests were drawn from. And we could also access those question banks and repeatedly do the quizzes and memorise the answers and BAM, guaranteed 40% of the paper.
Part 1 was worth 30% of the paper and I think I got like 3/4 of the marks there so I’m not too bothered about it. It was definitely easier than I thought, which is VERY good I guess.
Next paper is professional issues on Thursday and then childhood and adolescence on Friday, which I’m not looking forward to. Case studies and outcome statements and target objectives aren’t my favourite words at the moment.
The timetable planner thing for next semester is out already and next sem’s timetable doesn’t look too bad actually. If I squish my classes a bit, I can get 2 days a week off, which is probably the most days I’ll get off uni ever in my life….Hahaha…Then again, if I do get those 2 days off, I’ll probably be working anyway so not much free time. I’m definitely aiming for Monday off, so I can get 3 day weekends…Hahaha…..Or rather more like 1 day weekend since I work all weekend anyway.
Been talking to Zaneta and the babes for the past few days and somehow this question popped up in my head: “At what age will your parents start to get worried if you don’t have a boyfriend?” I get random questions in my head at times of high stress, but I guess this one is probably not so random 
I guess I’d be worried if I didn’t have a boyfriend and settle by the time I’m in my late 20s. Then again, I see myself as being very independent and not leaning on people for anything. If anything, I think I prefer to be by myself and relying on myself for things that need to be done. I don’t like relying on people cause I know I’d most likely end up being used by them for their own good. I hate being used and then forgotten after that, that is not what friendship is like. Friendship is a give and take thing and it takes me a long time to trust people with things close to my heart, I’ve been burned too many times to take things like that for granted anymore.
Anyway, I’ve strayed away from the topic. I think I’d be worried for myself if I didn’t have a stable relationship by the time I’m 30. So dad, what do you think? Hehehe
Just came back from dinner with Zaneta at Arirang in Subiaco. I had the usual kimchi chigae there, usual meaning I’ve never tried anything else there apart from that. I’ve concluded from that, I’m a girl who craves familiarity and routine. Take for instance, driving is such a cognitive task for me cause I have to memorise the route I’m going, remember when to merge lanes and remember which lane to keep to or else I would freeze in panic.
Anything out of the ordinary of my daily routine drives me absolutely insane and sometimes I panic. I know I’m not having a full blown panic attack but I get this fear that I ‘m going to crash into something or someone. It is as if I have to plan everything in life, or else I do not know what might happen.
Zaneta and I were having this conversation about how we plan our lives and by what age we were supposed to accomplish certain things. Then the topic turned to men, and how we tend to plan on meeting a guy, falling in love, date for a while, get engaged, get married, have kids and juggle a career at the same time. All this by the time I’m 30.
So the time line went something like this:
23: Meet a guy, find him compatible, fall in love
25: Get engaged to above mentioned guy
26/27: Get married
28: Have a kid
In accordance to the above mentioned timeline, I would have to meet the guy in 2 years time. That is 2 very short years.
But then we realised that you can’t plan everything in life. Things usually happen when you least expect it. Which is usually true for me, I don’t expect things and they just happen. Like Zaneta says, I should put myself first. Think of what is good for Kristine first and not anybody else. Which pretty much is summed up by Peter Petrelli’s mother, from Heroes: “If you put everyone first, you’ll end up last”.
So, it’s definitely time to put Kristine first in some areas of life. Like taking control of my destiny for one.
