6. What is your greatest extravagance? A built in coffee machine in my new house.

7. What is your current state of mind? Excitement mixed with a bit of fear.

8. What do you consider the most overrated virtue? Having to be good at everything. It’s ok to ask for help sometimes; I am finally learning that.

9. On what occasion do you lie? I try not to lie but sometimes I choose not to tell someone everything if I think it’s better for them not knowing.

15.  What or who is the greatest love of your life? Pim-Pim – my fiancé and father of our child.

16. When and where were you happiest? I’m an overall happy person; it doesn’t take big things to make me happy.

17. Which talent would you most like to have? A better memory! I learn things very easily but tend to forget if I don’t use it. Damn I’d be smart if my memory was great!

18. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? If I wanted to change something I would try to do it as soon as I realised I wanted to change it. Well, ok my hair then, as I said it can bug me sometimes, but don’t all girls say that?

19. What do you consider your greatest achievement? Giving birth to our child! I have always walked my own way and always kept believing I can achieve what I set out to achieve.

29. What is your greatest regret? Don’t have many; you learn a lot from the mistakes you make.

30. How would you like to die? I don’t want to die but if I have to I would say all of a sudden in my sleep when I’m a hundred+ years old.

31. What is your motto? You create your own happiness.
