Bento #168

Jaimie's has a scarily huge appetite now. Look, she has a crossiant, a slice of swiss roll, 2 quail eggs and fruits for breakfast. She doesn't finish them all at one go, though. She polishes them off during her breakfast and morning tea break time.

Wow.

She eats more than me.

Bento #167


Jaimie's bento. Char siew bao, fruits and hello panda biscuits.
My favourite question to ask Jaimie nowadays: "Do you like your bento today?"
The answer is a real morale booster! *BEAMING PROUDLY*

Bento #166


Jaimie's bento for today. Mr Baoz. But Jaimie said she didn't like "the eyes and the moustache".

Haiz. Should have saved my effort.

Bento #164 & #165

Nowdays mornings are very challenging and always very rush. That's because I am making 2 different bentos for both my love.

After the first bento Jaimie brought to school, there is no turning back. She said she preferred my bento to the breakfast provided by the school. When I asked her what did she like in her bento, she replied "EVERYTHING!!!! My friends said my mommy is super!!" WAHHHHHH~~~ how not to make bento for her like that? *bursting with pride*

Jaimie's bento -- strawberry jam and peanut butter bread.


Clement's bento -- egg mayo sandwich.

Making 2 different bentos require more time and planning... and I am not complaining. :)

幸福时刻

我们这个年纪的人或许会记得Dumex奶粉的一首广告歌,大概是这样唱: 你是我的小宝贝,你是我的心安慰,我要力求为你尽善尽美~~

我只大略记得到这里,后半部的部分只记得旋律,不记得歌词,所以自己乱乱掰。媛媛睡觉前,有时会要求我们唱歌给她听。我们就这样唱:

你是我的小宝贝,你是我的心安慰,我要为你力求尽善尽美!愿你天天快乐,愿你快快长大,你是我的心肝小宝贝~~

今晚陪媛媛上床时,媛媛又问:“妈妈,可以唱歌给我听吗?”我把她搂在怀里,五音不全地唱给她听。

她满脸幸福地听着,突然说:“妈妈,我也要唱给你听!”于是,她用同样的旋律,同样乱改歌词:

你是我的好妈妈,你是我的宝宝贝,我要为你力求尽善尽美!愿你天天强壮,愿你天天开心,你是我的好妈妈,妈,妈,妈!

然后,她用力地抱了我一下。

从来没有感受到如此的幸福~~~~~

Bento#163

After practicing for more than 2 years, FINALLY, this is the FIRST bento I made for Jaimie for her to bring to school!

Hurhurhur.

Nothing much, actually. I bought her the sausage bun to pack to school but she requested for quail eggs too. And since I have some strawberries in the fridge, I put them together and this is it. But I am now motivated to make her happy bentos in the morning!

I am sure Jaimie will be happy to eat her breakfast. I can't wait for her to come home this evening to tell me about it~~ heeheehee~~~

Bento#162


Before I find out why my hotdog bun becomes all torn up when I put in the sausage, I will be spreading just peanut butter and kaya inside the bun.

Pineapple tarts and some CNY goodies in the bento too. Pineapple tarts home made by our neighhour Pauline. Nice tarts. And very nice neighbours!

调虎离山


Jae: Papa, come! I have something to show you!

Me (on the iPad): Mmm.

Jae: Papa! Come! I have something to show you!

Me (still on the iPad): What is it?

Jae (tugs on my fingers, prying them from the iPad): Come! I'd show you!

Me (lays iPad down on dining table): Hmmph. Ok, ok....What do you want to show Papa?

Jae (hands me her bolster and stuff toy): Hold these.

Me (obliges): Alright....

Jae (grabs iPad from table and runs into bedroom): Hee hee hee hee!

Me (Whaaa?!)

Jaimie Tries To Spell



Jaimie tried to spell "insect" and "caterpillar". Well, perhaps that's how the short forms are invented!
