I like what Teddy Charles did to the model’s hair, at about 35 seconds into the short video.

Going to try that out with my Remington hair iron. Mine is, of course, the el-cheapo, Priceline version compared to the fancypants ones they have 😛

I “borrowed” this from Felicity, who “borrowed” it from Mia, who asked Zoe these questions in a video chat. Sharing is caring, no?

Was jealous:
My friends who are always jetsetting to Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, US, etc definitely got my green-eyed monster out for a bit. Sad, shameful but true.

Cried:
Watching the first few minutes of “Up”, when they showed the scene of the old man with the love of his life, growing up together, growing old together, holding hands when they read together, and in the end, his wife passed on and he was sitting in the church alone with balloons in his hand. I cannot remember the last time I watched such a beautiful and poignant scene. It just broke my heart. Yes, a cartoon broke my heart.

Was Drunk:
I’m proud to say that to this day, I’ve never been drunk. No, it’s not because I can hold my alcohol well; it’s just that I don’t drink much in one sitting. I’ve been high as a kite yes, walked crooked yes, but pissed-out-of-my-mind, puking-all-over-the-car drunk, no.

Overspent:
Erm, October surely. Bought a leather wallet, a Clarisonic Plus, clothes, an Amazon Kindle, books, etc. No more! (erm, for this month, at least)

Was inspired:
Believe it or not, blogs (well, most of the ones I read anyway) inspire me. People’s stories, beautifully snapped photographs, shared recipes, etc. It continues to amaze me how resilient people can be, when faced with adversities (and then they bravely blogged about it). Getting the opportunity to meet the people behind their blogs. Whoever said blogging is a dying media needs to get their heads seriously checked.

Watched the sunrise:
A few months ago, Tim and I were driving along the north coast of Tasmania. We got off the Spirit of Tasmania at 6.30am, and we managed to catch the sunrise as we were on the road. Beautiful!

Made a huge mistake or did something I regret:
I don’t think there were any really big mistakes, but sometimes I do find myself jumping the gun every so often without waiting to see if things pan out. My enthusiasm gets the better of me, and sometimes I wished I would have just kept my big mouth shut. On the other hand, sometimes I also regret NOT opening my mouth when I should have.

Listened to my gut:
Not going back to the corporate world was one of the biggest decisions I’ve ever made and to this day, I’ve never regretted it. Despite what my family thinks.

Fell in love:
I fall in love with almost every dog I see. Tsk tsk. No? Then the Amazon Kindle then. E-ink is the bomb! No? Okay okay, to risk sounding bloody corny, (almost) daily with my husband.

1) Everything from Clarins Barocco Collection. The packaging alone is enough for me to take out my credit card and say “CHARGE IT!” Don’t know when it’s coming to Australia, but you can bet I’m getting them when they do. Pronto.

2) The new lampwork beads I purchased from the Melbourne Bead Expo this morning. Those artisans make me wish I have a proper workshop of my own so that I can learn to make lampwork beads as well.

3) Avene Thermal Spring Water facial spray. A skin saver on such a warm day like today.

4) My Kindle. Having it with me everytime I’m on the train or bus means that I not only have something fun to do on those sometimes-long rides, I don’t have to make eye contact with weirdos.

I’m currently reading Percy Jackson and The Sea of Monsters. Don’t laugh!

5) Speaking of books, parcels from Book Depository. I think it’s a waste of paper to send out books from each order separately, but it’s nice to look forward to packages from the postie every day.

What are you loving today? I bet you’re just loving the fact that it’s Friday, right? 😉

Happy weekend, dolls!
