Bento Fun

It has been a busy Easter week for us. Not that we are celebrating Good Friday and Easter but our baby turned 2 on the eve of Good Friday. We celebrated her birthday on Good Friday as her daddy was away on biz trip till late on the actual day.

Here is the cake I baked specially for the occasion…

Little girl and her siblings had a great time at the little party I organised for her. It was a blessing that her grandparents are here to celebrate this wonderful day with her.

The past weeks has been hectic! There were so much going on so I got sucked up totally with work. I don’t have time to sleep too! Yes, it was that bad… as baby was not sleeping well at night and I was forced to wake up many times a night attending to her cries.

Also, the first school term is coming to an end and it is kind of a relief as I can sleep in a little more from next week onward to catch up on sleep.

Hopefully I am able to post more in a week since I still have a bit of backlog!

I was supposed to go check out some guitars today but my baby was making so much noise that I decided to postpone the trip to another day when I can go out on my own. Can’t really see much with all the distractions.

Since it can be taxing checking from store to store (and I don’t really know where else selling except that 2 stores near my place) so I thought I would try looking online. I am going to see the very basic guitar since we know nuts about it. Definitely not looking at those exciting dean vendetta xm electric guitar from guitar center for the time being.

Somehow, gotta think of the budget too. Hopefully I can find something decent soon.

I have quite a few bento posts lined up but really have no time to post them. I am trying my very best to get all the photos processed but it has been tough to get time to sit in front of the PC. Baby just won’t let me sit down in peace. When she naps, I will have to quickly finish up the never ending list of house work.

Here is a bento I made for Darrius 2 weeks back. He has Footy practice every Wednesday this term…

Both pear onigiri mixed with some furikake have meat floss and mayo filling.  There is a tamagoyaki, a chicken nugget, broccoli, strawberry and cherry tomato. A chocolate Moo box and a LCM complete the meal. He had a heavy breakfast so I did not pack that much for him.

Last week I asked Darrius about his keyboard lessons in school and he told me he has a little difficulties with playing with two hands. He said his hands can’t coordinate. I could sensed his frustration and felt that he wanted to give up. His enthusiasm seems to have waver.

I probed further and he kinda expressed his intention to stop his lessons. I am not that surprised since he don’t get to practice at home as we have yet to get him a keyboard. It is a big investment so we wanted to wait for a while to see if he is really interested in learning.

For that, I suggested to him to learn playing the guitar instead. At least it is not that costly to get a basic guitar. At least for starters, they are not required to invest anything expensive like the excellent aer amp and such. And it is easy to bring to anywhere and do not really required electricity unless it is a acoustic guitars.
