Bento Fun

Darrius’s Term 1 will end tomorrow and till now, we have yet to decide if we should send him for any music lessons. Previously he told us he likes piano then changed his mind to violin and recently he told us he wants to learn trumpet!!!

I don’t think our neighbors will like to have noisy trumpet! I think playing the piano or even the guitar is a much better choice… at least it is less noisy compared to a trumpet!

Anyway, it is too soon to decide, I guessed since he can’t make up his mind. We’ll probably bring him to the music store to see what he will like. Who knows if he will change his mind to play the piano/organ after seeing all those Keyboard Accessories???

When we moved from Malaysia, we did not bring any extra batteries along with us thinking we can get them here but the price is not exactly cheap here! We used to buy those sold in Tesco especially for the kids’ toys which are batteries operated.

As it can be quite costly, we are thinking of getting alternative batteries which has a much longer shelves life such as the ls14250 so we don’t have to spend that much as the regular ones go flat pretty fast.

I have another 1.5 months to go officially!!! I am not really ready to be very honest!! I have been procrastinating mentally and has yet to pack my hospital bag and getting all the baby stuff ready. Laziness also contributed to that!

This is my 3rd pregnancy and will be my last so the thought of not getting to feast when the situation permits, it is such a waste! Also, the weather has been cooooold so obviously I get hungry faster! Therefore, I have been pigging like nobody business!

For that I better start to plan what I am going to do to shed off those extra kilos post pregnancy! One is, I can get the hubby to get me the zumba so I can do it at home since I don’t think I’ll have the luxury to go to the gym! Better plan ahead!!

Hello all!

Life has been really busy since hubby started work. I have to manage the 2 kids on my own as well as running most of the errands at home and not to mention cooking many meals a day! As I has just about 1.5 months to go, I really feel like I am running out of time…

Oh well, I just hope everything will turn out fine…

This was a bento I made yesterday. As requested by Darrius and it is easier for him to have sushi rolls too since it is less messy than packing rice with dishes.

I made him some tamagoyaki with pan fried pork loin sushi rolls with some tamagoyaki rolls as well. Added some mayo into the tamagoyaki so it tasted really yummy. There are some strawberries for Vit C as well as 1 Japanese steamed banana cupcake or mushipan (Japanese tea-cake) for dessert which I made the night before.

Have to rush off to his school right after that as he was nominated to receive an award during the morning assembly. He has been doing very well in school and adapting pretty well too. So glad we have chosen the right school for him.

Officially it is autumn now but the erratic weather here in Melbourne does not seems like it at all. We still get hot sun for the past few days… so hot that the laundry can dries up within an hour or so. It’s certainly don’t look or feel like autumn at all!

Each time I goes out to hand the laundry, I will be very worried of the hot sun. First, it gets me all giddy and secondly, I am afraid of the UV. I have a cowboy hat but it is not big enough to cover me. I have been meaning to get myself some Ladies Hats which has a bigger coverage so I won’t have to expose too much to the sun.

Guess I should start shopping soon!
