Aloha 5QF~ Post Birthday Edition

Dominique Thoughts 5QF, aloha friday, two questions

Tiger girl has been zooming around lately since she started crawling around. She now goes for more fancy rides like this tricycle above when we go out to the park. Her she is trying out a friend’s daugther’s tricycle. Isn’t it cute..it has lovely stickers and it plays music. We have a similar one for her that was passed down from her brothers.

It has been a busy week parenting solo as R is away (again) on business trip. The good thing is that the kids are no longer sick and do not need any medication. Yeah!!

1)If you had a weekly newspaper column, what would you name it?

It would be Mookies Weekly Digest. I like the way “Mookies” sounds.

2. Who is your mentor/inspiration?
It would be my friend F as he is a guy would radiates very positive vibes and is one with himself and religion.

3. What is your wake up beverage of choice?
Fresh Milk.

4. Would you wear your mom’s clothes?
Yes. If the clothes suit me and the venue.

5. When you were a kid, did you put posters on your wall? If so, what were they of?

I don’t remember putting posters on the wall. However for my kids they have a big Cars2 poster on their door at the moment.

My questions this week

How do you approach sensitive topics like sex with your kids?
At what age did you start educating your child about these topics?

My answer ( I know some readers are interested to know)
I think that now at 1st year elementary is a good time to educate my eldest and give him a “clear” picture about these topics so that in time to come he will be able to make informed decisions and do have enough trust in us to let us know his thoughts/decisions.
I do have some books and at present there are such programs on TV which I may let him tune in and watch alongside us to let him be better informed.

Aloha~ End of Holidays

Dominique Thoughts 5QF, aloha friday, two questions

A Mud Wrestler

Information board on Mud Wrestler

Giant size origami Mud Wrestlers

The school holidays are finally over and it certainly feels like I have been tackling Mud wrestlers that we saw at Wetland Park while on vacation in Hong Kong. I’m glad that the boys will be returning back to school next week so that I can get back to having time to doing regular exercise and concentrating more on Tiger girl.

The kids have been home with the cough and cold and it has been really exhausting taking care of all three. I’m really praying that they can get well soon as for the next two weeks I’ll be parenting solo again as R departs on his next business trip.

1.What ringtone do you have on your cell phone?

I have a Spanish song which is one of the default ringtone on my Nokia. I don’t understand what the song is about but very few people use it so it makes it easier for me to know when the phone rings.

2. What is your favorite memory from this summer?
It’s summer all year round here. I guess the best would be getting the house all renovated and all the new gadgets installed.

3. Paper books or ebooks?

I like a combination of both. However I’m leaning more towards ebooks for myself.

4. If you could have one home upgrade what would it be and why?

We have just got our kitchen and living room renovated. All that we needed to get fixed has been fixed. All equipments at home are relatively new- washing machine, refrigerator, oven, television, sofa etc. I’m thinking a new car would be great 😛

5. When was your first serious boyfriend/girlfriend?

It was when I was 17 and in University.
