Happy Birthday Monkey Boy

Dominique Thoughts meet me on monday, Monday Music Moves Me

My eldest Monkey boy turns  8yr old today.  A lot has changed since he was born on 5th March 2004. With his arrival we were finally a family an not just a married couple. Being the first born we were inexperienced and learned a lot through trial and error about taking care of kids.  It has been a fun yet time as a parent and since his arrival have found it easier to take care of  Doggie boy and Tiger girl who came into our family after him.

This year he requested for an Aeroplane cake and to have lunch at his favourite Japanese restaurant.  Hence the cake cutting at the Japanese restaurant.

This week I feel it fitting to chose a Happy Birthday song to share with all of you.

1. What is on your bedside table?
You sure you would like to know? Okay here’s what’s on my beside table – diapers, wet wipes, breast pads, kids bibles and tissue paper.

2. Hardback, Paperback or E-Reader?
It is a toss between Paperback and E-Reader. However nowadays I read more on E-Reader as most books that I get for review are digital copies.

3. What is your ‘go to’ drink of choice?
Milk

4. How do you like to spend your birthday?
With my family

5. Finish this sentence – I would never be caught dead in .
 wearing 8 inch high shoes. Anything more then 4-5 inches besides platform shoes are a real no-no for me.

Dominique Thoughts meet me on monday, Monday Music Moves Me

I haven’t been taking that many pictures lately since we returned from our Taiwan trip.  Here is a shot of a bee resting on a flower which I managed to see while at the Sun Moon Lake. It was really good to stop and observe my surrounds that day or else I would have missed the opportunity to take such a shot.  Many times we get so caught up with the daily chores and tasks that we do not have time to sit down and admire the flowers. I’m glad that I had the chance to do so this month.

We can find that there are lots of wonders in our life if we spend time to really appreciate what we have and not take them for granted. I’m glad that I have headed the call to read more of the bible and am striving to read it everyday. Now that we are into the month of Lent there is even more reason to strengthen my bond with GOD.

What are you doing this lent?

This week’s theme is on commercials. Here is one on the instant noodles Koka which we currently see  on the television.

1. What was the first live concert you ever attended?
It would be Sammi Chung Live in Concert in the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

2. What colors look best on you?
I would think  blue or red.

3. What is one thing about you that most people wouldn’t know?

I enjoy learning new languages and only started speaking Cantonese after getting to know R.

4. Who would you call to be bailed out of jail?
Definitely R or my dad.

5. What do you think is the greatest invention of your lifetime and why?

It would be the IPAD. It really makes going online very easy when we are out and also has lots of great apps to occupy both the kids and us.
