Made my first placement and the fee will be 3-fold!
And when I weighed myself, I saw that I had lost another 0.5 kg's! So, in total, I have lost 3.2 kg's in 4 months!
Gym works!

Layered pudding
Hydrate 10g (one sachet) gelatine in a small bowl by pouring 100ml water over it and leaving it to stand.
Once the gelatine is swollen, heat it in the microwave until just melted (don't heat it too much or it won't set properly)
Puree 250g raspberries, add 250ml castor sugar and combine well.
Mix 200g mascarpone into 100ml milk
Divide the gelatine mixture in two
Add some of the raspberry mixture to half the gelatine, then stir in the rest of the berry puree.
Do the same with the mascarpone mixture.
Layer the berry and mascarpone mixture in glasses, allowing each layer to set before pouring the next. (If the mixture starts setting before you layer them, heat in the microwave for about 10 seconds before continuing)
Leave the dessert to set in the refrigerator for at least four hours before serving, topped with mixed berries

tea light
create soft lighting for an outdoor entertainment area with these tea-light torches that are easy to make yourself. Use dowels and sharpen one end to make them easier to drive into the grounf.
Drill 3mm pilot holes in the middle of the unsharpened ends, and in the plastic containers that you will use as candleholders.
Lightly dab paint onto the outside of the containers, using a sponge to ensure that they will still let the light through.
Remove the tea lights from their aluminium holders, plcae the holders, place the holders in the plastic containers and screw them in place, using the pilot holes as a guide.
Replace the candles and drive the torches into the ground before lighting them.
You can simply replace the tea-light candles when they burn down

Innuendo
- The picture frames of the painting are nice...
- She is a pretty girl, as long as something is covering her face...
Kata BOX
It makes me nervous...
When we stand outside, waiting for a class to begin, I get nervous.
Not only is KATA BOX intense training, it takes a lot of coordination, we have only done the classes twice now, and the class that we attend is an advanced class. I still can not perform the simple Jumping Jack, I am embarresed to admit.
The next morning, my muscles are not sore from the exercise. They feel bruised. It feels like my calves and arms have been kicked and boxed around. And they have, by me.
A week in San's life
The spider
I bounced into my flat at about 09:00 after a gruelling gym session.
I was looking forward to an avo saarmie.
As I walk to the fridge, I spot the 8-legged monster on the wall next to the fridge, RIGHT NEXT TO the fridge.
Ugh...is my first reaction, and then I jump into combat mode. I look for DOOM in the cupboard. But there is nothing poisonous in the cupboard. The only can that sprays out environmentally damaging fumes is the Mr Min, furniture polish.
That will have to do then.
I spray Mr Spidey, and see him lift a leg in a 'say-goodbye-to-little-Jimmy', kind of way.
Feeling satisfied, patting myself on the back for a job well done, I return to the business of finishing that sarmie.
When I turn back to the spot where Mr Spidey was last seen, there is now only a blank space left.
What the...
"Where is that sneaky Spidey?"
The forewarned apology:
I arrange a provita snack for myself, when I hear a knock on the door.
My Neighbour.
He says: "It is my Birthday.."
My first reaction: "Ok.."
He says: " And you know I am black.."
Me: "Ja..."
He continues: "Well, I am having a party and you know black people are loud, I just wanted to apologise in advance"
Me: "Oh, not to worry, it happens once a year, and Happy Birthday by the way!"
mmmm
The hollywood moment:
I stepped my gold heeled shoe on the bottom step, as I am about to greet a candidate.
At that moment, my fringe slips over my cheek and I flip it back in a "Baywatch kind of way...
Unfortunately, the candidate spots me in my mooovie moment..
How embarassing
who puts the DUH in Durban?
Definition of a suicide bomber:
"A suicide bomber is somebody who usually straps a bomb to himself and usually stands in a crowd of people and blows himself and other people up"
What else could a SUICIDE BOMBER do?
Had to share...
The Summer is here
Song from some Bump album...
I am busy listening to this track, bumping along, you know.
It always takes me back to 16-year-old-San.
Me and Liezl standing at the life guard house on Margate beach
The green lights tracing patterns on the sand
Out of habit, we check if the lagoon / river has cut a big path out the sand bank, to escape to the ocean.
Our eyes follow through to the breakers.
And in the background we hear "The Summer is here" playing ...the music is coming from the inside of some club, but being good girrrls, Liezl and me were not allowed to go to clubs yet
Aaah, what a great memory...songs help you capture moments from your past
my leetle friend
My friend Louis kicks it!
He has stopped along the side of the road, at night, to fetch me bricks, in Joburg.
TWICE...
He are for so sweetness
:=)
MOLEY MOLEY
So do you really want to know why my voice was sore on Sunday morning?
Really?
Ok.
It is because I shouted "MOLEY / MOLEY" at the top of my lungs at every opportunity that I could. And let's just say that I got a lot of opportunities to do so...
Mwa ha ha ha
too ro too too
...Too roo two two two..
It is the final count down!
I, the humble and yet surprisingly DIVA-like San, is going to Oz for the December break! 3 months to go! I can not wait! I are bouncing off the walls about this one too.
Lots to look forward to!
Random
When I was introduced to DSTV for the first time, I flicked onto "FUTURE CHANNEL"
I waited a while...
Nothing came up.
Because "FUTURE CHANNEL" is actually a blank channel reserved for future use...
Duh...
It is not a channel about the future.
They should be more specific
Bouncy
BOUNCE to the LEFT....BOUNCE to the RIGHT.....
BOUNCE to the LEFT.....
BOUNCE to the RIGHT.....
I am bouncing off the walls, coz the summer is here!!!
I LOOooooove Summer!

1 year
Hey all!
It are my one year anniversary!
It was a year ago that you all had to listen to my trauma trauma...thank you AGAIN!
And I am much better off.
I have forgiven him.
I am over it.
The one thing that still haunts me though, is that he said, well after figuring it all out, that I did figure out his lies. He said that I hit the nail on the head quite a few times, but he could not tell me the truth. He could not admit that I was right. He denied it. Time and time again.
To spare my feelings.
I ARE OUT THE OFFICE, OK?

FW: Is this your song?
This is SO our song...
: -)
Lyrics: Plain White T - Hey There Delilah lyrics
Album: Unknown
Watch Music Video hot!
Hey There Delilah lyrics by Plain White T.
Hey there Delilah
What's it like in
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Time Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true
Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good
Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
[ Hey There Delilah lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame
Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.

speaking the lingo
Spur Lingo (among the waitors)
Yellow burger - with cheese
Spinning - I are very busy, so STAY OUT MY WAY
With wings - TAKE AWAY
And me and my COCO POP (Lunga) made these one's up:
(these were daily sayings and phrases, aimed at trying to make work more fun)
If a client asked if they could alter something on the menu, we would say:
"Of course you can, this is Spur"
WE SAID IT LIKE, AT SPUR ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE...mwa ha ha
If somebody ordered desert, we would say, when we gave it to them:
"Here is your cheese cake, straight from the fridge'
HEE HEE, coz all the deserts are pre-prepared and kept in the massive industrial fridges
And as a general rule:
"No problem"
(This worked in almost any situation)
I miss my Coco Pop...
:-(
