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!

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 :)

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 :)

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 !

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 :)

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 :)
