met another optom today who apparently is in the same year as the optom who usually comes on saturday, and he said he graduated about 10 years ago. the other girl optom was married last year, and this guy is single and he's so weirdly lay back. he just jokes around all day, like literally say jokes, and my brain was so slow today, i just couldn't keep up. there was a guy called David Howse, and he was like "Howse David?", and he was just staring at me, then about half a minute later i got it...from joking with his patients, to crude jokes, talking about awkward stuff and spilling life stories. i feel like at work, you get to know a person's life in just a matter of minutes. he was saying how he cbb to cook, so had wine for dinner, then at the end of work, i saw him take home 4 bottles of wine =/ he also had 5 shots of coffee during the day. yeah, definitely not your typical optom...

i really don't understand how technology these days can lose track of a plane...personally i think it's terrorist, but like everyone says-what's the motive? side note, one day i will go on a qantas A380. it's only on selected flights to HK, and i don't think i have enough money to go dubai/london or LA after a massive splurge in america at the end of this year, so i will match my flight to HK on one of those "selected flights". one day...

wow, looking at videos of my uncles trip (he's still there), they're driving through heavy rain and snow, and apparently you can only see 5ft ahead of you =/ there's also other cars out there as well, but i think the only "comfort" is that the road is mostly straight. my aunt had a lamb's head like a "viking" and they're now staying at a viking themed hotel-i want exotic food from iceland! they also went to this island specialised with ice cold swimming pools and snow slides. there's only one pool that was heated, but i think it's a local thing to swim in ice cold water and slide down slides in your swimmers. so much for my uncle saying NYC was cold in winter-i'm pretty sure wearing swimmers in minus degrees weather is a lot colder!
