A picture of somewhere you’ve been to..

Focus on the tower! You know this place, don’t you?

Morning peeps! Happy Saturday . Any plan for the weekend?

I’m kicking off the day with yet another challenge.

Day 04: A habit that you wish you didn’t have

My name is Angele and I’m a hair twirler. Yes I like playing with my hair!

I know some people twirl and play with their hair to deal with anxiety or stress but it’s not like that for me. The thing is I enjoy the feeling of fingers running through my hair! *hrmm* Does that make me weird? O_O

So far, me twirling my hair has never really been a major concern. I’m not addicted nor is it a sign of OCD! Seriously, I don’t mind my quirky habit. It’s just playing and twirling loose strands of hair around my fingers when I’m bored. No big deal, right? I mean, I’m definitely not like those hardcore hair twirlers who develop compulsive behaviors and even pull out their hair –>

I call my hair twirling a pacifying habit. Now, is it a habit I wish I didn’t have? Honestly? It has never interfered with my daily activities so who cares? If you had super sleek and shiny hair like me, you’d love to play with your hair too! Hahaha!

The challenge for day 03 is posting a picture of you and your friends. Just thought I’d upload this photo of me and lovely Manju!

We shared a virtual friendship until the day we finally met for lunch at Milky Lane. So now I can put Manju on my list of friends whom I’ve met for real! Mwahahaha!!! Anyways, we look super cute on this photo, right?

The meaning behind your blog name/virtual name..

The boyfriend came up with the name Lady Ångele a few years ago.

I might not always sit like a lady, speak like a lady, walk like a lady… but it doesn’t really matter to him. Like he says :

You’re the lady of my heart…

So, here’s the story behind my blog’s name. Super cheesy romantic or what?

I’m officially starting my 30-day challenge meme today. So here goes!

Day 01: A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

1. I enjoy cold weather the most because it makes hot chocolate so much more appealing and soothing.
2. That’s how clumsy I can get – a few years ago I sprained both my ankles, one after the other!
3. I’m a real nutter when it comes to Greek mythology.
4. I don’t believe in love at first sight.
5. When I was ten I had a fish bone stuck in my throat. The silly girl that I was back then thought I would choke to death. The bone become unlodged eventually but it traumatized me. Now I eat only boneless fish fillet!
6. I’m a huge procrastinator. Period.
7. My bestie and I share the same birthday – same day, same month and same year, born an hour apart in the same clinic!
8. I’m a caffeine junkie. If I could, I would live just drinking starbucks.
9. I don’t like eating gingerbread man but I still think they’re cute.
10. I accidentally set my hair on fire on my first cooking experience!
11. Ok I admit it. I’m a crybaby. I tear up at weddings and cry at sappy movies! There I said it!
12. I’d love to cosplay someday.
13. Home is my favorite place to be.
14. I’m so cool that some people copycat me! Seriously! Duh (=.=’)
15. Donuts FTW!

Day 01 done! 29 days to go! *faints*

Everybody that’s anybody in the blogosphere is doing this 30-Day challenge thingie. Shelan has started the meme a while ago and a few days back my fellow bloggers Meli and Kit decided to give it a go as well. And now my sister from another mother just told me she’s gonna join in too. Now I’m feeling pretty excited about this meme! So yes girls! I’m in for the 30-Day challenge!!!

So what’s all the fuss about the 30-Day challenge anyway? In a nutshell, the challenge involves posting one blog entry on a daily basis for 30 days;

Day 28: a picture of you last year and now, how have you changed?
Day 29: in the past month, what have you learned?

I’m definitely going to attempt this and I’m starting my 30-Day challenge on Friday today! And just to make this meme even more challenging I’m going to try and do this without being a smart ass! Who even knew that was possible, huh? So strap in for the ride begins! *yayyy*

Ready for a lot more of Sherrylynn Lee? The Mauritian singer-songwriter, Sherrylynn Lee, will celebrate the launch of her very first album, Change me as we go, with a live performance this Sunday 25th July at 2pm, Ming Tek Centre, Port-Louis. Tickets are already on sale for Rs 100. For latecomers, tickets will be available at the door for Rs 125.

And just for you my lovely readers, a glimpse of Sherrylynn’s music with this preview of Change me as we go.

I already got my CD from Sherrylynn yesterday and yes, I love it! Each recording has its own magical touch – melody, harmony, instrumentation, rhythm, vocals, lyrics … and more. Music often wields a strong connection with our feelings, and the songs on Change me as we go speak for themselves. From the touching lyrics of No perfect goodbye to the cheerful melody of You make my day, you get to explore this vast trove of music to your heart’s content.

My favorite songs on the CD? No perfect goodbye because this song really touches my soul. And The same things because I like duet songs and this one is awesome!

So for you people who are in Mauritius, come and see Sherrylynn perform live on stage this Sunday and give your support to an amazing artist! The first part of her showcase concert will feature Mauritian band, PAID OFF. I would also like to say that PAID OFF and Sherrylynn Lee want the needy to benefit from their talents. For every ticket bought, Rs 50 go to charity. Do a good deed and enjoy the music of local artists!

If you’re interested to know more about Sherrylynn and embark with her on her musical journey, you can follow her myspace page.

Way to go young lady! I’m very proud of you lil cuz!

Sorry I’ve been MIA for a while. Is it ok if I say I was very very.. very busy and I didn’t have the time, let alone the motivation to post anything for the past week? Whatever! Let’s go with that lame excuse for today’s post, shall we? (n_n)
I’ve been meaning to upload more vacation pics since last weekend but for some obvious reason I didn’t post the photos. *slap myself* I’m such a lazy bum! Shame on me!!! But better late than never, right? So let’s get started!

Old houses that have been converted into bars and pubs

Huge strawberries

Bought these at Takashimaya. Hmm.. they were juicy and sweet! I’ve never seen such big strawberries in Mauritius. The ones we have here are so tiny they almost make you feel guilty you’re eating them! (O_o)

Some shots from the show Songs of the sea at Sentosa Island

As you can see, the show is all about a spectacular performance of water jets, lasers, fireworks and special computer effects.

And I’ve saved the best for last…

F.O.O.D! Random snapshots of food here and there.

Auntie Anne’s pretzel

Hainanese chicken rice, a very popular dish around Singapore and Malaysia

Sar ho fun, dumpling soup and garlic n chilli squid – can’t remember from where!

Lunch at Kenny Rogers

Geez, I’m feeling so hungry all of a sudden! I bet you are too, eh?

I’m off to have dinner now. Cheers! xoxo

Omfg! Paul was right!!! SPAIN SPAIN SPAIN!

I only had 4 hours of sleep, my head hurts and I have bloodshot eyes! (x_x) Even worse… it’s Monday! *sigh* Please dear god, get me through this day.

*off to work now*

xoxo

Hello everyone! It’s the weekend and I so love weekends! Who doesn’t, eh? I’ve got so many plans this weekend : movies tonight with the boyfriend and some other friends, wedding dinner on Sunday and then probably heading out to watch the world cup final.

Netherlands vs Spain. Who will win the world cup?? If we go by Paul the Octopus‘s prediction, Spain will defeat Netherlands.

*cough*

Octopus oracle Paul has spoken! Well… sort of! A psychic octopus?? Wdf! Seriously? (=.=”)

Anyway, who will you be supporting on Sunday night? I say Go España! (Not because the psychic octopus Paul has had his say!) Ok, to be honest I don’t really care who wins ’cause I’m not that big of a soccer fan. But I still have to cheer for a team, right? So, my psychic powers told me to root for Spain. Hrmmm!

I’m off to do some household chores now. Enjoy your weekend and be good!

P.S : I know I promised to post some more photos about my trip.. and I’ll be uploading the pictures this weekend
