Bento #58 @ 13 March 2009

13 March 2009

Today is another "sandwich" day since Misha will be having discussion with her other team mates. The discussion will be taken place at the 1st 1/2 hour during their school lunch. It will keep going till the real competition takes place :) .. which is about 10 days' away!

Ok .. today, I have prepared the sandwich with Spicy SPAM and eggs. Not really sandwich lar, but more like a birthday cake where the SPAM and eggs were arranged upwards :) Anyway, something new and HOPE that she will finish them!

That's all for the day, folks! Bye and take care!

YES!

Just received an email from Misha's School, letting us know that school fees for 2009/2010 remain unchanged ... YES! Indeed a piece of good news :)

I can't wait to prepare more bentos using these new "toys" .. till then .. happy bento-ing!

Sigh ...

Mypart time maid just informed me that today will be her last day working for me.

Well .. I did not ask her why she intended to stop when she passed me the house key but later, husband told me that another employer of hers mentioned to him that she has found a full time job with better salary!

So .. what will happened now? Anyway, told hubby I can take over her duties since previously, she only came in twice a week (3 hours each session) BUT husband said NOOOOOOOOO. He said that better look for a replacement. Soooo .. hopefully I will find a replacement soon!

Bento #55 @ 26 February 2009

26 February 2009

Today I have prepared some rice for Misha's lunch in school. I also prepared some rolled eggs. The rolled eggs were secured by cute duckling picks that I bought long time ago :). Besides the eggs, she will also have some sambal and fried minced beef as dishes :)

The rice is decorated with very small flowers that can in three colors :) ie made from cucumber, cucumber skin and carrots .. they are really lovely. I personally think that the smaller the flower, the cuter they are :)



Ok .. that's for her lunch today. .. hope she likes it :)

I am getting OLD ....

Nothing else to jot down - will be having dinner with family tonigh .. parents are here with me in HK at the moment :)

Ok .. that's all for now .. ta ta!

Bento #54 @ 25 February 2009

25 February 2009

Today's bento is a simple one. The day before I have decided what to prepare for her. I decided to buy small bun for her - to stuff with sambal ikan bilis, an egg tart, but it is not enough with this two small thing - then I decided to add one small slice of bread for her :)

Hope she will like it :)

top to bottom : Small bun stuffed with sambal ikan bilis - decorated with cheese/seaweed; an egg tart and small slice of cheese sandwich :)

Oh yeah, I did prepare a small container of fruits for her - but forgotten to take photo - anyway, it is a simple and no- deco fruits :)

That's all for the day !

Peace and Quiet

Following photos were taken on one saturday morning at about 930am while Misha and myself were waiting for bus ..... (the longest trip bus we ever taken .. arghhh!)

So quiet, hor? Hehehe .. so this is one of the advantage staying far away from the Island .. hahahaha :) Peace and quiet ... can sleep peacefully but but .. unable to do so that morning - need to bring Misha downtown to watch "Disney on Ice" .. hahaha .. what a waste !

Bento #53 @ 24 February 2009

24 February 2009

YES ! Another day .. another bento ! Well .. let's have a look what I have prepared :)

rice in shaped of cute looking ladies :) together with small portion of fish, sambal ikan bilis and of course Misha's fav deep fried prawn wrapped in popiah skin :)
flower shaped apples and a slices of jambu air :)

Well .... the rice do not come out that successful .. hmm .. it supposed to look cuter and nicer .. but .. but .. they do not turn out as what i wanted them to be ... anyway, will try again next time :)

Hmmmm ......

Every morning, the worst thing to do is tying Misha's long hair. She wanted different styles each day .. arghhh :)

Well .. today I have decided to try something different ... see what I have done to her hair .... :)

Nice? Asked her after school, anyone said that her hair is nice? She told me with a sad face, she said "No one even noticed my beautiful hair" Hahahaha .. guess my good work is not good enough :)

Must work harder to surf how to tie hair .. muahahaha :)

Bento #52 @ 23 February 2009

23 February 2009

Today's bento is a very simple one. Actually, it was a last minute prepared meal for Misha :)

Ok . let's see what I have prepared . ... yeah .. sandwich again. But this time, it was in the shaped of FISH .. :)

Cute? Misha found them very cute :) She likes the "scales" especially .. she said that it is unique .. .. hahaha :)

That's for the day, friend! Something simple that will put a smile on her face :)

Bento #51 @19 February 2009

19 February 2009

Bento on this particular day supposed to be something that Misha can eat fast since she has to attend the Chinese Reading Club during her 2nd period of lunch time. I have already decided to make sandwiches for her but she requested for rice.She wanted to eat rice with those Japanese toppings .. which I do not really fancy :(

Anyway, prepared rice in cubes for her. Each rice cube is tied by my stripes of eggs then decorated with tinnie winnie follows :) Must say that using seaweed as the ribbons are easier as eggs do not really stick to the rice - quite difficult :)

Prepared salmon for her too! The salmon was marinated overnight with lemon juice/oil/salt and pepper and then grilled in the morning. I also fried some minced meat for her - intended to make it into Hello Kitty shapes but .. sigh ... UNSUCCESSFUL .. failed! Anyway, it is ok .. can try again in future :)

her lunch

fruits :)

That's all for the day :)
