Bento #239 - Reindeers

Wednesday, 29th December 2010
This bento I fixed on 14th December, but only share it out after Christmas(x_x). Still not too bad right as it's still Year 2010 (^_^). If you realize, this is the only bento I fixed in this loooong school holiday. If not because I have promised my nephew, I don't think I have the urge to make one.

As usual, if I fix bento during school holiday, then I have to fix three. In case you are new to my blog, one is for Isaac, two for his cousin brother & sister. Two more day then come the New Year, I don't think I gonna fix any bento. I therefore would like to wish everyone of you an early ~~ HAPPY NEW YEAR ~~.

~~ Isaac's Long Hair ~~

Monday, 20th December 2010


I am counting down... 9 more days from now, Isaac need to cut his hair short before going to standard 1. I agree that student should have student look (short hair), but I just feel it's pity to cut away his long hair. I always like Isaac with long hair, he looks cool with long hair (~.~)

But his long hair always bring him trouble. Each time he met with people for the first time, they will think he is "she". I asked him, "Do you like your long hair, if you don't like people say you look like a girl, I bring you to saloon". Surprisingly his answer was "Don't care about what people say, as long as I like my hair and I think it's cool will do". I said, "Well, tell me anytime when you think you no longer like your hair"....


How Isaac's look will be with short hair? I also don't know. I have picked a good date to cut his hair, which is 28th this month, before going for Primary 1 Orientation. Let's fold our arms.....

~ ~ Goodbye, Teachers and Friends ~ ~

Friday, 19th November 2010
People said, goodbye isn't painful unless you're never going to say hello again. But to me, it always causes sick of heart. Part from teachers and friends who you learn and play with is always a sad thing. Again people used to say, "We only part to meet again". However, when you meet again, will the relationship still as close as before? Will you still have topic to talk about other than HELLO?

Today is Isaac's last day in kindergarten and they have a party at school. Thought want to buy some bread or cakes from bakery shop, but seems like lack genuine. So I created my own recipe - "Mini Chicken Floss Tart".

I woke up at 5am this morning and it took me about 2 hours to get the food done. When reached school, I saw a parent brought McD for the kids (not Isaac's classmate, so the McD not for him). Wau!! I told hubby and Isaac, will my food looks lousy and I don't know whether the kids will like it or not. Thank God, Isaac said "Mummy, your one more special", then only I felt half relief.

Tools and ingredient for this recipe:

~ Bread ~
~ Chicken Floss ~
~ Cheese / Mayonnaise ~
~ Star / Round / Flower Shape Cutter ~
~ Mini Paper Cup (Optional) ~
~ Mini Muffin Tray ~
~ Rolling Pin ~

1 & 2. Cut the bread into shapes using cutter. You can use more than one shape, but my case, I only use star cutter.
3. Put a mini paper cup in the muffin tray, put the bread on it.



4. Use rolling pin, press in the center of the bread.
5. Then you get a nice hole in the middle.
6. Put in the oven and toast until it turns brown.



7. The bread after toast will serve as mini cup.
8. Fill the cup with chicken floss. You can use tuna or anything else.
9. All cups are filled with chicken floss.



10. Top with small slice of cheese or mayonnaise, then send it to oven again for approximately 2 minutes.
11. Leave it at room temperature.
12. Cute mini chicken floss tart is ready to be served.

~ ~ END ~ ~


Hope you have a wonderful weekend and for kids, Happy Holiday....

Bento #238 - Gingerbread Man

Thursday, 18th November 2010
It's abit too early to pack "Gingerbread Man Bento" (^.^) This gingerbread man cookies I bought it from Mark & Spencer yesterday. I was choosing some cookies to give it to Isaac's class teacher as a token of appreciation for thier hard work and guidance in this year. Isaac's vision fell on the nicely packed gingerbread man. Since we have never try gingerbread man, I bought a pack of it.

I don't know how gingerbread man cookies should taste like, to us (Isaac & myself), it has abit of ginger taste.... hmm....

Bento #237 - The Carefree Ladybugs

Monday, 15th November 2010
This week is the last week of school then comes the year end long holiday. Not sure if I will fix bento during school holiday, perhaps this week might be my last week of bento making... Isaac is going to primary 1 next year, he has to leave the house as early as 6:45am. If I were to prepare bento for him, that means I need to wake up probably at 5:30am? Can I sacrify my one hour sleep? Hmmm......

I have three choices:
1) Wake up as usual, prepare bento for Isaac, send him to school then only I dress up myself and have a great breakfast with hubby.
2) Wake up as usual, don't have to prepare bento, get myself ready (dress up + breakfast), send him to school then go direct to office, start work earlier and come back earlier in the evening.
3) Wake up one hour ealier, prepare bento, get myself ready, send him to school then go direct to office, start work earlier and come back earlier in the evening.

Let's see how things going first, how soon I can get use of the life chance (~.~).....

Bento #236 - Police on the Way . . .

Friday, 12th November 2010
"Peep Poo... Peep Poo..." Police is chasing thieves again (~_~). This is the second police bento I fixed, is the same set of cutter I use for this bento. Bento tools is really handy in bento making, it speedup the process and gives good result most of the time. Ever since I busy with work, I have not surf for new tools. It's time to cheer up myself..... (What an excuse!!)

Bento #235 - Happy Birthday, Captain Isaac

Wednesday, 10th November 2010
Happy Birthday, my little darling. Mummy and Papa wish you Healthy & Happy always. Ops, not to forget, Handsome always (~.^)

Since mummy hold a Pirate Birthday Party for you slightly earlier, I think it would be just nice to fix you a Pirate bento on your birthday. Hope when you eat this bento, it brings you all the sweet memories on your birthday party... Have fun !!

Bento #234 - What is the Time Now ?

Wednesday, 3rd November 2010
Finally I am back to bento making after 3 weeks off. ~~Phew~~ what a good rest for my brain. Hmmmm.... not really, Isaac birthday just overred, I am physically and mentally tired, that's why haven't got mood to blog about the birthday preparation work and the birthday party. Sorry if I keep you waiting......

Back to bento today, it's a sudden inspiration. Can you figure out which one is long hand and which one is short hand? What is the time shown? I will say it's 1:52pm, how about you? ....

Bento #233 - Marie the Cat

Friday, 15th October 2010
The way to make these sandwiches is just like the Stitch Bento I did last Monday. I think Stitch bento has better result as the imprint of Marie the Cat is not so prominent (^.^)
