It's Friday and I...
... am relieved that the house-hunting is over! Now for the big move and housewarming.
... don't even have one piece of furniture for the new place! Can anyone say 'stress'!
... knew from the start that Mariah Carey is pregnant. Why do celebs always deny it?
... had a hangover from hell yesterday and had to come to work! I never ate so much in one day.
... was home-alone last night, but had time to give myself a decent manicure and pedicure.
... am so heartbroken about my camera that got stolen last week. I took the coolest photos at the Moulin Rouge party and now I can't even share the pictures with you.
... don't really celebrate Halloween, but perhaps I should dress up anyway!
... decided that I would accept every friend request on Facebook from now on. So feel free to add me.
... am changing my hair style in a few days! Going dark with bangs!
... want to be a poster girl, but need 1000 followers on Twitter. Help a girl out please!
... am eating a large bag of cheese-and-onion flavoured popcorn! This might just be my new favourite snack.
... really need to get my ass to gym! I haven't been there in weeks. Seriously.
... can't wait for Wednesday! Meeting great people that will help my sister and I with our Twice the Taste website and ventures.
... really am happy that it's Friday and that the holidays are around the corner. Finally!
Happy Friday world. Let's get this weekend started!

Walking With Dinosaurs After 65 Million Years !!
The prehistoric beasts are back as Walking With Dinosaurs - The Arena Spectacular gets ready to return home in 2011.
The crowds part to reveal the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex, six tonne killer queen of the Cretaceous period.
Created in Australia in conjunction with the BBC documentary series, Walking With Dinosaurs - The Arena Spectacular has toured internationally since 2007.
The giant Tyrannosaurus Rex indulges in a little pre-dinner conversation with Sydney school children.
After playing to packed venues across the US for the past three years, the dinosaurs are set to return to home soil in 2011 to thrill Australian audiences once more.
The baby Tyrannosaurus Rex gives some the kids a sniff before bounding off to see monster mum.
The Australian tour is set to start in April 2011and takes in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Newcastle.
At 12m long, the Tyrannosaurus Rex was one of the largest terrestrial carnivores of all time, tipping the scales at about six tonnes.
The animatronic creatures used in the show were created by team at the Creature Production Company and are some of the largest free-moving models in the world.
Children from Randwick Public School in Sydney get up close and personal with the mother and baby Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The show features 20 life-sized dinosaurs ranging from human height to a Brachiosaurus, standing more than 10m tall.
The dinosaurs are the brainchild of designer Sonny Tilders.
Based out of Melbourne's docklands, he and his 50-strong team, worked tirelessly for 12 months to create the beasts that appear in the show.
The stage show cost $20 million to produce.
The giant Tyrannosaurus Rex lunges towards the unsuspecting photographer.
The creatures minor movements get their own "voodoo puppeteer" who operates the mouth and eyes and deals with the sounds effects.
The kids play nice as mother watches from above.
In the three years the show has been in the US it has put on 1097 performances, playing to 4.1 million people in 144 cities.
While Sonny Tilders does an interview we take a sneak peak inside the T-Rex's driver cockpit.
The model dinosaur is powered by 18 truck batteries, weighs in at two-and-a-half tonnes and is manoeuvred around the arena by a driver located below the creature's belly.
This is the effects keyboard used during the show to create the sounds for both the mother and baby Tyrannosaurus Rex.
A total of three operators are required to work the Tyrannosaurus Rex during the show. One drives, one controls the head and tail and the other handles mouth, eyes and sound effects.
The mother and baby Tyrannosaurus Rex let out a blood-curdling roar.
The show includes ten species of dinosaurs, spanning the 200 million-year reign of these "terrible lizards".
Creature design engineer Trevor Tighe inspects the jaws of the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The T-Rex gets its realistic look by having air-bags that inflate under the skin. Body movement is controlled by 20 hydraulic and 10 electric motors.
School children look up as the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex moves towards them.
It takes 33 semi-trailers to move the show from town to town and it employs 65 staff when on the road.
Note : Book your tickets which is available online at DinosaurLive . So, get there with heart full of imagination with your family and walk with Dinosaurs after 65 Million Years !!!
It's Friday and I...

... had a look at models/ finalists from the Wonderbra Model Search and saw a few girls with potential, but also saw loads of fake tits.
... did a lot of house hunting this week. Fun and depressing at the same time!
... fell in love with a house in Loevenstein, but the ridiculous deposit kinda screw me over.

... am featuring on YDE's Facebook Fanpage, modelling their new range, Siren Design.
... laugh every time I visit the Woelag website, but you have to be Afrikaans to appreciate this. Damn funny!
... had an interview with iDale yesterday about 'Where Bloggers Break Bread'. Keep an eye on his website to read about where cool bloggers love to wine and dine. The post should be up soooon!
... might be in a movie next year if everything works out. Hold thumbs for me.
... am also starting a new blog, but it will be a joint venture with my sister. Trust me, it's gonna rock!
... am keeping this list short as I am not feeling creative today.
Happy Friday everyone! Let's get this weekend started.
