1. What do you put on your hot dog?

Tomato sauce and mustard.
I seldom order hotdog though as they are easy enough to make at home.

I sometimes pack them in.Ryan’s lunchbox

2. Do you play Sudoku?

No I don’t play Sudoku. I never really fancy number games.

3. What is your favorite vegetable?

I don’t have an absolute favourite vegetable. I do like carrots, tomatos and broccoli.

In fact I prefer vegetables and fruits to meats.

4. Do you color your hair?

Yes I do. However I haven’t been colouring my hair since I was preggy with #3.

I intend to do some highlights this week so that I will have a new look for Chinese New Year.

5. What is your favorite brand of clothing?

Paul Frank.

I do not have many pieces from this collection. In fact I only have the matching mother & son pyjamas which we love wearing together. I hope to be able to purchase a few more pyjamas so that the girl will be able wear one too to bed.
