Year End Function - Themed Idols

Our companies year end function was themed Idols this year. It was required that the employees audition to be the entertainers at the main event. Because of a dare, I went, and (un)suprisingly I went through to the top six. I honestly had no interest in it, but when the day came, I blew myself (and the crowd) away. It was so much fun as I did a cover of Lira's Feel Good. Many days are memorable for me this year, but that moment on stage stands out as my most prized memory. Ive always been a stage addict, until I moved to MyJozi and got intimidated. This was the first time on stage, here, since the last time I was on stage in 2009 (Eastern Cape). A spark was ignited, and the fire starts to burn...
Here is the story in pictures:

Anyway, moving away from my most prized moment on stage, my friends and colleagues got dressed up as their favourite artists, and it turned out to be a jolly good party!

Introducing the six finalists:

And finally my personal favourites, and best dressed:





Weekend with a masked theme...

So over the weekend we went to mine trully's friends houswarming and birthday party. I was not overly eager to attend, because of my difficulty in understanding mine trully's mother tongue, but we went...and it was a lovely do I have to admit. Unfortunately not many pictures were taken and all I have to show for it are these:

It was a themed party, attendees advised to wear black, white or pink. Mine trully went for black and white, and I ofcourse had to settle for the pink (in my own terms of course).

We had fun, I caught only half of what was being said (thanks to the much that mine trully has taught me thus far) and it was different. That is what I enjoyed about it. You dont get that many black people who organise themed parties.

It is a pity though that we only wore the masks for about five minutes, and had to then take them of because they were irritating our eyes.

Well here is item one on our memories box motho wame.

Happy Monday

Try something new!

So, why do we Live?
We are concieved, born, grow up, go to school, start working, make friends, grow old
then die, right?
Well, yes, but why does it have to be completely like that, order and all?

See, I think living is more than just living.
They say that you Live once, so Live everyday
like it is your last.
We say, what is Life if you cannot mess up everything, even the natural order of it.
Benjamin Button did it, he was born an old man, and lived his life in reverse, then died a baby!
Weird I know, but the concept fascinates me.

So in my road to a fulfiling Life, I sternly believe that trying out new things is very
important. Expand your horizons for Gawd's sake.
Live a little, take those things that make you shy and do them.
Experience life as it is supposed to be, eventful.

Guess what, all these years I have been despising manicures! My friends and

family know that I want nothing to do with them, period. I cannot grasp the concept.
And yes, as you might have guessed, I was not talking from experience.
I just judged it, no need for me to know.
Then this happened!
Voila!

Shocking, I know.

But I decided to Live a little, do something I have never tried before.

Just because I can.

I did it, I just told that lady to give me a manicure, and she did.

OOOOOOhhhhhhh my hands look much better, even if I have to say so myself!

I love water, I really do, especially sea water. I waddle around at the beach a lot.

I have a secret though, I cannot swim, and I avoid pools by all means possible.

Becasue obviously I will drown!

I heard my friends boyfriend say hes going swimming, and without thinking of it, grabbed my swimsuit! I will cross the bridge when I get there is what I told myself.

Cross that bridge I did, found myself inside a pool, trying to swim.

Almost drowned, but hey, I tried. I did something that scares me, plus it was new. I have never swam in a pool before.

So what I am trying to say is, Live a little!

It does not hurt to try something new, exciting, and scary.

It is amazing the amount of fulfiment and happiness you get from doing it.

Make that fantasy of yours come true, go bunjee jumping, do whatever, Live!

After all, you only have one Life, and honey you are not growing any younger.

Go on tiger, knock em' dead!
