Hey peeps, I haven’t written in a while! I’ve been busy lately, with work mainly, and I’ve been using my mum’s credit card (with her permission) to buy a Ralph Lauren Cool from Ebay. Yes, I know you’re thinking either “don’t you have to be over 18?” or “haven’t you heard the Ebay horror stories?”. My answer to both is “yes”, and that is why I haven’t had the time to update, can’t be bothered to expand on that point. I have 3 words for you- bidding is draining. I’ll keep you posted on whether I am successful.

This table is derived from the film "Memoirs of a Geisha", I wrote earlier on about me reading the book, I'm so excited it's coming out in a couple of days! See the official site HERE.

On another note, I bought a keyboard, as in a piano keyboard, and I’ve been learning how to play “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” by Elton John. Call me old-fashioned but I love this song, and I love all the Disney songs too. I have a soft spot for piano music and even though my fingers barely reach the octave, I refuse to stop trying to reach break-neck lengths.

Aside from that, I’ve also bought $45 worth of beads and beading tools, and yes, this is another soft spot of mine… I’ve been doing some research, and came up with a few earrings and a charm bracelet. They aren’t my first attempts by the way, because in the past, I’ve mucked around with beading and such, but I would consider selling them, if people were interested in buying that is. All the beads I use are made of glass and I’ve been meaning to purchase some Swarovski beads to add value, as well as some sterling silver earring hooks- my ears are really sensitive.

I went to the officeworks sale the other day. Yay! Cheap stationery! Let me loose and I’ll come back with a trolley-full, but this time, I was wise enough to make a list and vowed to stick to it. BEWARE! Some things are still rip-offs, such as gel ink pens, but a pack of Kilometrico pens were only $1.88! :)

Oh yeah, if you want Havaianas for $7.50, then there’s this opshop at 1355 Toorak Road that imports them exclusively from Brazil! Stupid surf shops, charging $17.50!!! There are a whole range of colours, but it really depends on when you go. I will now leave you with some of my memories of 2005. *sighs melancholy*

P.s. If you are ever bored and are a mush romantic like me, read Against All Odds. Click HERE. It’s not published as a proper novel but I liked it, it’s an easy read and leaves you with that warm fuzzy feeling!
