~ I'm Back ~

Wednesday, 27th July 2011
Hi fellow friends, long time no "see"... I am back again after 7 months break. I have nothing to share about bento but some parenting story with you, hope these life minutiae between me and my boy won't make you feel bore.

Although I don't fix bento, but my desire to own bento tools still go on, especially those cute picks. Few months back, I bought myself my very 1st bento book, by Hippomum and I believe many of you might already have a copy of it. Why I need bento book since I no longer prepare bento? Well, I just wish one day or maybe some special occasion, I will fix a bento for someone special? kekekek....

My subsequent posts will be written in Mandarin, apologize if you can't read it because I can only express my feeling well in Mandarin. I do consider to translate it to English, but... it's too tedious for me and probably after translated, it doesn't bring out the "FEEL".....

Slow Down in Bento Making

Friday, 8th October 2010
When you see me not active in blogging for a period of time, you probably can guess I am busy with my work again. My boss requested me to give a presentation in this coming company event. To be honest, it has been ages I did not give presentation, I stay up late almost every night to prepare the materials and speech.

Basically I don't have time to think what to prepare for Isaac at night and my brain is blank every morning. I just do whatever idea comes to my mind, ad hoc basis. kekekkeke....

Besides, Isaac is turning to six next month, hubby and I are planning a birthday party for him. Thinking to give Isaac a memorable and joyful birthday celebration, therefore we decided to hold a Theme party, with all his class-mates invited. We asked Isaac to choose among Disney, Animal and Pirate theme and he has chosen Pirate Theme. I am now busy finding pirate stuffs like balloons, novelty and accessories for the birthday boy (Captain Isaac) and his gang of pirate mates.

Stay tune with me, I will share some tips how I plan and prepare the party from A-Z....

HAPPY Weekend !!

New Clothes for Isaac's Castle

TENG... TENG... TENG... TENG... This is the new clothe I made for Isaac's Castle. This piece of cloth I got it from Ipietoon but I did some altering to fit Isaac's request. We have Papa, Isaac and myself staying in the castle, a homey castle, therefore I also give the castle a new name 'Isaac's Gemütlich Castle'.

I was extremely busy last few weeks, worked overtime most of the day, even weekend. That's why the castle was left deserted for some times. Now, peak time overred, it's best time for me to think what to fix next, something kawaii maybe. It's school holiday now, I don't think Isaac need any bento this week. Should I take a good rest, recharge my body and sprint again after school holiday? Hmm......

~~ Crazy For Fruits ~~

I am crazy for fruits recently, this is my first time having so many types of fruits in my refrigerator. Among all, I love orange most. As long as the fruit stall uncle tell me the orange is very sweet, imported from XXX, then I will buy without considering the price. But sometimes the uncle is "dishonest" (maybe he didn't try the fruit before he said it is sweet), just like the little orange, it is sour actually (>.<)!!! I bought it a week ago, but I still have it in my fridge, just imagine.......

Why I have been quiet ...

Yes, I have been quiet for about a week because my little prince was having high fever, for 5 days and the highest record in the 5 days was 39.9 celsius. I didn't go to work for 2 days to take care of him day and night. That kind of worries, I believe all moms can feel it......

It started on Saturday evening at home town. Our home town(hubby and I are from same home town) is not far from KL but not near either, need to travel about 2.5 hours. Normally with that hours, using highway can reach Melacca (another state), but mine still within Selangor. We went back just to have dinner with my father-in-law, that day was his birthday. He can't really walk now, so we only have dinner at home.

We came back KL the next morning (normally we will come back in the afternoon or evening). I prefer to stay at own house, especially when my kid is sick, more confortable and convenient. Due to Labour Day, child specialist Isaac used to visit was close for two days. I consulted doctor on Monday morning. Doctor said was caused by his swelling throat, but seems like getting better, so didn't give any antibiotic as Isaac just taken a bottle of it last week (if you still remember, he almost missed his soccer field trip).

After a noon nap, Isaac's fever just shot up like rocket, went up to 39.9 celsius. I called the clicnic and asked for antibiotic and immediately insert medicine into his anus. Fever continued for another 2 days and thank god his body temperature was back to normal on Wednesday night, if not, I would have admitted him to hospital. I didn't send him to school on Thursday to monitor and make sure he is fully recovered.

I got a message from Deby, another bento mama, via Facebook. She realized that I MIA (missing in action) for so long, therefore sending me a message to see is everything going right with me. How caring she is.... Thanks Deby (*0*)

How to stop blogging? Especially it can brings you lovely and caring friends..... (^_^)

What was I doing?

I have finally sent out Test Summary Report on the project I engaged with to PM last Thursday. It's time for me to at least take a short break. I just posted Monster Bento few hours ago and I started to think back what I have done in past few weeks, because the Monster Bento I fixed was actually quite some time ago. What was I doing after that? Why no bento for Isaac?

Now I remember, I went to Singapore for Software Testing Conference on 24th March and came back late night on 25th. With a tired mind, I couldn't affort to prepare bento on Friday.

Saturday evening, again I stepped into LCCT, but this time I was more excited, I have been long waited for this day -- Family Trip to Langkawi. The trip not only three of us, but also my siblings, nieces & nephew and my sis's parent-in-law. Fourteen of us in total... big group hoh!! We went there for four days and again, came back late night. I allowed Isaac to skip one more day of school so that he could recharge his "battery". Isaac kindy off last Friday to celebrate Good Friday. So basically last week he only attended one day of class.

So for the passed few weeks, I was not just busy with work, but also searching singapore hotels, langkawi hotels, flight booking and Langkawi itinerary. But of course main thing still woooorrrkkkk !!! Now you know why my blog stay quiet for quite some time yeah (Q.Q) !!
