5QF and Weekend Review

This week has been a really busy week for me. I’ve ramped up the speed here on Dominique’s Desk and on the home front with monitoring and coaching the kids in both academic and non-academic subjects. If you have noticed I’m trying out my hands at introducing more varied content here on this blog. I ‘ve put in sweepstakes and giveaways which I’ve joint promoting to give you, my readers, a chance as some fantastic prizes.

We have our 1st local giveaway – portable sterilizer for parents with small kids which is a really handy device if I intend to go travelling overseas with Tiger girl again later this year.

The kids are taking well to the new study routine and are doing well in the academic and non-academic subject. I just have to keep up the pace and assist them in keeping their standard consistent.

Next month will be more busy for me as I’ll be taking classes on the weekend. I’ll keep you in suspense to what I’ll be attending and slowly reveal during the month of April. 🙂

1. Are you looking forward to the time change this weekend?
We don’t have any time change here as we don’t experience the 4 seasons here in Singapore.

2. Are you getting the new iPad/would you want a iPad?
No iPad3 for us as we just bought a iPad2 last christmas.

3. If money was not a problem, what is the one thing you would splurge on?
A set of wheels for myself- Volkswagon Golf GTI.

4. How did you and the Mr. (or Mrs.) meet?
We met in university while studying in Australia.

5. Summer is right around the corner. Bikini or one-piece?
Bikini or more specifically Tankini.

5QF and Saturday Meme’s Feb Edition

Dominique Thoughts 5QF, Saturday Meme

Last week when we were out in Chinatown I saw this magnificent dragon display. It spanned across the whole street so it was hard to get a shot of the whole dragon. I decided to take a photo of the Dragon head instead. The dragon really looked very awesome and majestic as it was lit up.

1. What have you done recently that you are proud of?

I’ve managed to follow through on all the challenges which I am/have joined- P52 photo challenge, My personal weight lost challenge, Dustin’s 21 days weight lost challenge.

For Day 2 I’ve managed to clock in 35 min of workout and score a total of 56 points.( losing out points for having less then 6 hrs of sleep)
For breakfast I had my usual cereal with low fat milk, udon noodles with chicken and veg for lunch, peanut cookies for snacks and rice with vegetable and fish for dinner.

2. What is your favorite way to work out? Or if you don’t workout, what are you wanting to try?
It would have to be in front of the television. I can’t go to the gym with the baby in tow so the best way is via WII Active sports and Zumba.

3. If you knew you best friend was cheating on spouse would you tell?
Yes certainly!!

4. If you could afford a live-in maid or nanny, would you have one?
Certainly No. I have heard and seen first hand the problems that come with a live-in maid or nanny. It’s not worth the extra worries and problems that come with one.

5. Do you stress out about birthdays (specifically the age) or do you enjoy them?

I don’t really stress out about them.. however they are not as enjoyable as they were when I was a kid.
