Bento#9: Rabbits For The Year of Rabbit

Oh no! At first, they are blocking blogspot, multiply and facebook etc and now, my VPN starts to fail me and I can't even do comments and not even in my own blog! Urrrggghhhh ...... that's great!!! I can only view others blog but can't leave any comments at all and I wonder how long I can deal with blogspot in China if thing like this continues. Time to move on to some other country I guess??? Hehehehehe :P :P

Anyway, since my VPN seems to do horribly now, I'll just quickly post up one of the bento which I did for Angel during the Chinese New Year since I have uploaded the photos. Phew!

According to the Chinese calender, this year will be the year of "Rabbit" so here are those rabbits coming by wishing all of us Gong Xi Fa Cai ^_^

^ ^ Rabbits!! A lot of Rabbits squeezed into 1 bento box :P :P

The big rabbits were made of dumplings (小笼包) and biscuits as ears, while those small ones were quail eggs and carrot as ears. 2 cherries were buries somewhere down under and as Angel requested for some 'heart-shape' in her bento because she says she wants to love me wor ..... how could I resist? So I fixed her 2 heart shape strawberries to make her day :)

Didn't actually complete the bento as what I initially planned coz while half way done, I heard a bang from the living room and guess what, Angel has climbing up to the coffee table pulling down our CNY deco from the lighting! So I have to finish it off as it is and keep an eye on her.



^ ^ Poor CNY deco now with a clear tape on it! Luckily she didn't drag the entire decoration off with the lighting along.

I am glad that she loves her meal and obediently climbed up to her high chair without being asked waiting for her meal to be served :)


^ ^ She is happy to see a lot of rabbits in her bento. She would dig out and eat all the seaweed from the 'faces' first before she have the heart to eat them.

Need Some Supplements

Hello guys! We just came back from our holidays and hope that you guys are having a great time too.

Angel is acting extra cranky on our first day arriving Hong Kong and I was totally worn out and moody. It might be something to do with my PMS too making the entire day so unbearable especially after traveling for such long hours. How I wish that there was some kind of PMS aid that I have brought along or I shouldn't have been so forgetful to bring along her toys and books just to keep her occupied during the trip! However, I am glad that she is behaving ok from the 2nd days onwards.

Although it was tiring but it was a great trip! We were doing so much shopping until both hubby and myself are having knee and joint pain due to excessive walking and carrying the shopping bag while pushing little Angel in the stroller or carrying her when she refused to sit down. I must admit that age is catching up and looks like it's time for myself and hubby to start doing some decent daily exercise training plus getting ourselves some good supplements such as the krill oil supplements. Krill oil is proven to help lessen PMS mood swing, increase brain function, promote joint health and many more other great benefits which I absolutely needed at this moment.

I prefer krill oil over fish oil as it is 54 times more potent in DHA and EPA found in the fish oil. The most wonderful thing was, it has all the goodness in fish oil minus the many flaws and smells from the fish oil which hubby absolutely hates! It also helps reduces damages from free radicals thus slower sign of aging. Isn't that too good to be true?

Greetings for CNY 2011

Busy busy busy! Few days of our Chinese New Year will be the busiest for I will do ALL my CNY preparations, cleaning and shopping last minute :P So excited ^_^

I have got most of our shopping ready and thanks to hubby who 'share' the workload :) Besides those cheong sum (here), here are a part of the addition clothing which I bought last month for her coming CNY and no time to take picture for the rest so I'll just leave it! :P

And this year's cny will be extra special and magical for our little Angel coz ....... we'll be celebrating our CNY in the magical land of DISNEYLAND!!!!!!! Hip Hip Hurray!!! ^_^


^ ^ Disneyland Hong Kong, Here I come! ^_^

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my lovely family and friends

A very Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year in advance.

恭喜发财 及 万事如意！！

Enjoy your new year and eat as much as you can ya!

See you guys again after CNY ^_^

Thank You,Grandma!

Grandma loves both Angel and Baby Annabelle very much. Not only that she helps taking care of my little girl but she also brought Baby Annabelle to a place where all sweet smiles were freeze into beautiful memories ......

r>

I still remember the first day when I suggested to bring Baby Annabelle for some photo sessions, grandma suggested that maybe the money can be put into a better use …… and looks like, this is indeed a better use after all :P



Looks how angelic and innocent a baby’s smile can be ...... From a teeny tiny peanut in mommy’s tummy turned into this bundle of joy whom mommy brought home 7 months ago. And look at her now, a gem that shines and capturing our hearts so effortlessly.




This little missy surely melts our hearts in many ways. Oh, I still can’t believe that this sweet little girl is indeed mine ^_^ I am counting my blessings each and everyday.



Annabelle would like to say a big 'THANK YOU' to her beloved Ah Mah plus giving her a full-of-saliva-Kiss for such a nice and priceless baby portrait of her ^_^

Bento#8: Start Bento-ing Again

My bento tools have been putting away for way too long, until lately when I am doing my Spring cleaning ……

So they were finally out from their hibernation seeing sunlight again :) Time to continue with my practice to fix my girl some decent bento :)

I fixed her a simple ‘bento-in-a-bowl’ as a start coz I can't find where all my bento boxes were (@_@) I really have to polish up my bento skills more because this very simple looking ‘bento’ has took me over 20 minutes to prepare! *gosh*


^ ^ ABC pasta with broccoli and carrots. 2 happy face fish balls, carrots flower and broccoli trees as decorations

Nevertheless, Angel is more then delights to see her first ‘bento’ being put in front of her after such a long time. She must be missing her ‘decorated’ meals so much :P She even thinking to call hubby telling him all about her ‘happy face meal’ and force drag our ‘Ayi’ who does not speak English over to her lunch and say, “See! Ayi, you see~~!!! It’s my happy face! 我的！我的 (it’s mine)!”


^ ^ She was all over the moon to see her special decorated lunch ^_^

She finished her meal with a lightning speed until I have to stop her from eating too fast and swallowing too quickly without munching! *first time*

Boy …… she must have been either extremely hungry or extremely in love with her meal!


^ ^ Her extra large portion of pasta was being gallop down within less then 10 minutes time! She eats finely chopped broccoli but still, no luck with broccoli in stalk.

She gave me a big hug and a sweet thank you after she is done ^_^ Oh, it always put a smile on my face to see this little girl’s smile brighten up while wallop up her meal with just a simple touch ^_^

A wonderful day to me and I hope so does yours ^_^
