While I was busied wrapping up the new books that I bought recently, my little one so sweet to serve me this.♥  He knew I was busy and pretended to cut and feed me.  His action melt my heart...♥  Wonder will he do the same when I'm old?

My first attempt in making this. Kiddos wanted sausage buns so made some for them too.  Note to myself:  must roll more filling into it.   Review from my family:  They love it!

In the boxes:  Rice, nuggets, cold soba. edamame & grapes (soba sauce not in pic) My attempt in making rilakumma sushi.  Look like it?   My girl was elated, her favourite character for now.  My boy... "Mommy, the bears very cute!" Ok, I will take it that he doesn't know who Rilakumma is.   Yup!  He doesn't know, he was happy as long as he had sushi. Hehe...

In the box: Rice, minced pork (under the rice), grapes, sausages and beans with egg. When my boy first saw the bento, he first thought was why mommy didn't put any meat in there!  My boy can't live without meat.  Every meal, he has to eat meat, lots of it.   I intentionally hid it under the rice.

 A great family bonding time we had. ♥  We had an early dinner and went down for some fun with sparklers & their lanterns.  A night filled with love, laughter, chinese tea and not forgetting mooncakes! ♥

Till now, I have to pinch myself to know this was real!   Z represented the school for his FIRST chess competition - 52nd National Inter-School Team Chess Championship 2011! He was nervous & excited and so am I! At least he managed to sleep early but not for me.  I was worried what if he didn't get any point for the team at all?  Or worst, he didn't win any game at all?  How would he feel?  Many

My little ones before watching the movie - Smurfs.   They couldn't resist taking pics with 'Mr Bean'.  Beanie loves watching his silly acts and the cartoon series too. I love Smurfs since young and when I found out about the movie, I knew we have to watch it!  So glad my little ones enjoyed it.

 Minutes before he started doing, he was jumping around.  The moment he started colouring, he was focus.  Love that! ♥ Beanie's work.  Z and I helped him cover up the area so that the outlines are more obvious. Z's work.  Love the way did the shading... ♥

A very simple craft for Beanie as I just started it with him.   He was so happy when I told him we will be doing painting. You need: ✽ paper plate ✽ paint ✽ glue ✽ eyes for fishes ( you can use marker to draw) ✽ glue ✽ staple (to staple the fish tail) ✽ decorative material for the body  Beanie's fish.  He painted it all by himself! LZ helped him to cut & stapled it. He chose what he wanted to be

Chocolate Crinkles This year Teacher's Day gifts done by me as LZ have been busied with school works & mini tests, but they made cards for all their teachers.  This is also the first year Beanie gave goodies to his teachers! (2/9) - It was nice to see L's teacher's status in FB saying that she enjoyed the crinkles.

In the boxes:  Rice wrapped with nori, minced pork & fish paste patties, prawn tempura, broccoli, grapes & orange. Today's bento didn't take up too much time except when I was trying to get the right size for the elmo's features.  For the elmo, I used carbsticks, carrot, fishcake & seaweed. Few days ago, my older babies were talking about having another baby!  Can't believe they are still

He's wearing his favourite character singlet, Fireman Sam.   Don't they just love sitting on the floor at this age?  And also insist on doing things the way he wants it? Yeah, terrible 2 or 3 stage... He is as stubborn as an ox, his horoscope says it all.   Regardless, he is so adorable that he often gets away with it.  With his siblings & daddy of coz!  Hehe...

In the boxes:  Foccasia bread pizza, corn, chicken sticks, grapes, raisin & chocolate bar. 3 bentos for all my kiddos today!  Think I will stick to 2 bentos the next time, it's not easy for Beanie to hold on to it when I'm driving. Few days ago, my kids were discussing about having another baby!  It wasn't the first time though...  The older ones asked Beanie if he wants a younger sibling!  It

In the boxes:  Cherry tomato, watermelon, tamago, ham rolled with beans & carrot and pork with onion. Since I prepared a girl bento for my gal, decided to do a boy bento for my 老二. We received some good news last month about Z! Firstly, his teacher told us (22/7) to register Z for the coming piano exam! We didn't expect this coz his teacher told us earlier that he was not ready yet.

We wanted to have ramen which was located at East Coast but realized it was took over by Claypot Fun.  Since it was new, we gave it a try.  Quite a cozy place for lunch or dinner and we enjoyed our meal.

 I am very blessed and thank GOD for a beautiful daughter, not only that, she is of great help to me. ♥  She may be only 10 (in December) but she is mature for her age.  At times, I have to tell myself that coz I expect more from her and go overboard with the expectations.  I set a higher expectation of her coz her brothers look up to her and learn stuffs from her.  She dotes on her brothers,

Another rainy day again but instead of making soupy lunch or porridge, I made this!  It started to rain this morning when I sent Beanie to school and he wore his raincoat so that gave me the idea to made this little girl with raincoat for L. Beanie's breakfast this morning.... Had a minor accident this morning at Beanie's school, one of the mommies reversed her car without checking, I horned at

Little one has been helping with simple chores besides using magic clean or placing used cups/plates in the sink.  Now, he is doing more than that,  he helps me out when I take out clothes from the dryer.   Even though I can handle all of it, I often pretend I need his help and he loves it when he knows he is helping me.  Once he puts down the clothes, he calls out to his sibling, "Gorgor!

Beanie built this little 'house' while I was at the pool with Z. Beanie said: House!  Bean Bean house! *means beanie's house* Show mama! He pointed at a part and said "Door! open door close door." So adorable!  My cute little fella built a house and not forgetting the door.

I have been to the pool to see Z's progress for quite some time...  Felt very guilty... Most of the time, my friend will fetch & send Z for me.  Coz during that time, Beanie needs his afternoon nap.   Today, LZdaddy was at home and I was able to leave Beanie with him. Z was extremely excited & happy!  Even his coach noticed that!  I knew he would be happy but his response was more than I

After attending few lessons, my boy happily played for me for the very FIRST time!   Awww....  It's so wonderful to see him playing it! I'm sure it will be even better with more practices. Sadly, he doesn't want me to post it here. The cheeky boy - one moment he was very serious playing it and the next, pretending that was a gun! 老二 enjoyed it the lessons very much, every week he looked forward

 Close up of the rice burgerIn the boxes:  Homemade rice burger with chicken, sliced oranges & cherries.  Love how my rice burger turned out! My babies love it too!  It tasted so yummy with seaweed added to their burger. Gonna make this again when their daddy recovers.

Z's field trip to the National Library.  What he did at the library: ★ Story telling session ★ Library tour ★ Browse & borrow books Bento #269 - Fishes In the box: scrambled eggs sammies, siew mai & grapes. Think I have lost touched with making cute snack bento. Been making too many lunch bento for my kiddos. The fishes were cheese, coloured with edible food colouring.

In the boxes: Homemade beef burger, smiley potatoes, longan & mini apricots. Western food for my kiddos' bento today. Should have taken pic of the patties, love it with the grilled lines on it, as if it was from the restaurant.  Hehe...

In the box: Cheesy pork, grapes, fried egg with beans & cherry tomato. That's how the cheesy pork looked after cutting.  Love to see the cheese oozing out. Simple lunch for the bento as well as for us at home.

No that my kiddos are learning chess, the house has been quieter.... They have been spending their time playing chess.  I'm not complaining though... Looks like it's time to get a proper chess set for them since they like it.

In the box & container: Tofu soup, baked chicken, edamame, grapes, orange & egg sheets for the eyes & mouth. My boy asked for SpongeBob sometime back and finally made one for him today.  There's lots of flaws  and yet I can't exactly say what it was.  At least Z was able to tell that was SpongeBob. Hehe...

In the boxes: Meatball pasta, garlic bread & mango My gal asked for pasta again co she knew mommy has too much of it in the cabinet.   Bought the ready made meat balls from Cold storage and the pasta sauce was homemade.  Recently I like as I find the bottled pasta sauce a tad too salty. Made a batch today and freeze the unused ones, much healthier. Terrible me!  Forgot to that my boy need to

A day that my girl looked forward to...  Her very FIRST public performance!  Every year, the school has a public performance and L was honored to be able to be part of it this year.  She has been diligently going for all the practices and made effort to practice the songs at home. Together with my 2 boys, we went for the concert.  Honestly, I thought it will be quite boring.  On the contrary ,

In the container: Fishball & meatball soup, broccoli, egg, corn & golden kiwi. First bento after school holiday.... Still in holiday mood so just a simple bento for my gal.  Tried out the egg mould that I bought, using microwave to get the egg done.

Forgot to note down something that Z said on the last day of school holiday... He was crying when I was tucking him in bed Asked him why... He said school holiday is over and he can't spend more time with me...  Awww....  Love him so much... ♥

This pics are not well taken but it's priceless to me...  Love to see how my little ones spend times together.. ♥ ♥ Beanie doesn't know how to play chess, but Z is happy to pretend having a game with him. ♥♥ L & Beanie love to sit close to each other. ♥♥ L loves to carry Beanie, see how happy he is! ♥

My little Beanie has been such a wonderful baby.  He has been helping me setting up the table during meal time.  When he hears me taking out the cutlery, he comes to the kitchen to help me, even if it's his favourite TV programme is on.  He's setting such a good example to his older siblings!  Haha.... He knows where to place whose spoons/chopsticks etc... So sweet isn't he? ♥ @ 28 Months ♥ he

I have always hope to be able to cycle with my kids.  Part of wish came true today, Z and I went for cycling date! It was a great feeling, to cycle along with him and not me running after the bicycle (teaching him how to cycle)!  Haha...  Next on my list would be to convince L to learn cycling & teach Beanie too.

20th June 2011 LZ left for  Chinese Cultural Camp, it was an optional activity offered by the school.  It's a one day camp for Z and overnight camp for L. Her sleeping bag & haversack. L looked forward to her FIRST overnight camping... She excitedly packed her bag, getting things ready things on her own.  She was so happy when she was bunking in with her buddies. I was hoping to get a glimpse

This is the last checkup for the cut on his eyebrow.  Doc recommended this cream to apply on the scar and it's expensive. The scar is still very visible at the moment.. Hopefully it will be better soon...

Beanie's FIRST field trip - Macdonald Kitchen Tour.  Since it's school holiday, LZ came along.  My babies were excited about it, visiting their favourite fast food restaurant. Sadly, we were not allowed to take pics of the kitchen....  Nevertheless, kids enjoyed the tour, have a feel of the huge freezer, fascinated by how they cook and prepare the burgers etc..

One of things I hope to do this June holiday is to teach my boy how to cycle on 2 wheels... L wasn't keen to learn, she's happy blading around.  But I hope to convince her one of these days... After sending L for her choir practice, we headed down to East Coast.  A beautiful day to learn cycling. We did it!  A few falls & words of encouragement and nags, Z did it!  We were elated!!!! It's such a

We went for a movie today, Kungfu panda 2. It was a gd movie, better than the first one.  LZ enjoyed it. Think it has bn a long time since Beanie went for a movie... He was fine for first half of the show, laugh & get excited when he saw fire. Then he started to get restless. Probably due to no nap in the afternoon... He insisted on sitting on my lap n later, insisted that I stand and carry him!

I have met Eileen once when I was preggy with Beanie.  It was not her that I recognised first, it was her 2 handsome boys, especially Damien's smile.

Finally all stitches removed! But it was another horrible experience for Beanie....  He was wide awake when the nurses removed the stitches.  One of the nurse alone couldn't hold him down and I had to help...  Again, it was heartache to do this...  So sorry my little baby....  A small reward for our brave little boy, Thomas balloon. We are so glad it's over....  Only thing is, to avoid outdoor

I was extremely happy when I find out there's a new Chess Academy opened near my area.... Z has been asking for chess lesson ever since he completed the basic lesson.  We didn't continue with the school as he finds that they are not dedicated in teaching them.  Z was elated when I told him and he can't wait to start chess lessons. Honestly, I'm not that kind of 'hardworking' parents who make

Only 6 stitches left when nurse removed the bandage, he could have accidentally scratched off one..  Can you see the stitching was horrible? Sigh.... The nurse only removed 3 of it as the rest are still very 'raw'....  I was so glad that Beanie slept throughout. I can't imagine what it would be like if he's awake.

We had made plans to go to RSAF Open House before Beanie had the accident.  Even though doc advised no outdoor activities for him, so as to avoid pigmentation.  We decided to go ahead IF the weather was good and we won't be staying long at the open house.  We were so glad this morning the weather was fantastic! Midway through the activities, Beanie's bandage came off.  I was glad that the First

Every year, the school held the event, Talent Showcase twice.   This was L's 2nd time taking part in the event but her FIRST time receiving a prize!   She sang 'Somewhere over the rainbow', a beautiful song she learned in Choir. Well done my princess and I am very proud of you!  Even though sometimes mommy 'complained' about your singing, I can't deny that I love to hear you sing! ♥

26th May 2011 That's the number of stitches he had on his eye brow....  I wish I could turn back the clock....  I wish I could take over the pain.....  I wish this had not happen... Little Beanie fell from the bench at home... I was busied preparing dinner, LZ was doing their own stuffs and it happened... We rushed him to the nearby clinic to stop the bleeding as I thought the doc could do the

@ 27 months old:  Little one is very 'protective' over me (or my things) or anything concerns me.  For instance, once Z took my drink from me and immediately Beanie said "No!  Gorgor!  This is Mama!" This happened on 28th March.  Yeah, this was long overdue coz I totally forgot to mention it when I wrote his 26th months update. He also doesn't allow anyone to 'bully' me. We all know that and

In the boxes: Stir fry pork with leek, egg rolls, grapes & rice. Think I am already in the holiday mood.....  And no inspiration to think of what to prepare for the bento.  So it was bear bento for my kiddos again.  This time, I used the picks as the ears.  Hope to do better after the school holiday.

Last field trip for the semester for L!  Asian Civilisation Museum,  her FIRST trip to the museum. Views she took while walking towards the museum.  Nice pics she took! Having fun with the display items. Some of the pics she took in the museum.  Here's LZ bento: In the boxes:  rice ball with pork floss (wrapped), apple, sausages, orange & peanut butter sandwiches.

I feel so guilty that I didn't sign Beanie up for any gym class when he was younger.  Both LZ joined Tumbletots when they were not even 1 year old.  So when the school he's attending offered gym class, I signed him up for it. Little one enjoys it! I made the right choice and am happy to see him having so much fun.

In the boxes: Sushi, sliced oranges & chicken wings. Z requested for sushi and I thought why not make happy face sushi, apart from the normal ones. We are all in a happy mood since exams is over, hence the happy face sushi.  See my girl's happy girl sushi?  Has eyelashes too!  Hehe...

It's my Daddy's birthday.... It has been some time since I mentioned about him in the blog.  He has not been the same ever since the stroke and Mom is taking care of him full time now.  He looks so fragile now... Wished I could do more for them.... Dad was very happy my little ones were there to celebrate his birthday. He was all smile when they sang birthday song, blew candles..... He has not

I noticed my little one just doesn't like sleeping properly on the bed, half his body is on the floor.

Mother's Day....  Which means exams is round the corner....  Nothing is more important than coaching my kids, even that means not going out to celebrate Mother's Day.  Babies, having you with me everyday is like Mother's Day.  Anyway, we had a little a celebration with my in-laws' family last week. My kiddos were looking forward to Mother's Day.  They listed what they planned to do for me today

Z has been having lots of mini tests since April, coz he will not have mid year exams. Seriously, I would rather he has exam than having all these mini tests... L has mid year exams.. It was equally stressful too...

My Mom is very good in baking and how I wish I'm as good as her.  That, I can only dream on.... She has asked me many times to learn from her but I was just plain lazy. She bakes to sell to friends or for them, upon their requests.  We are very blessed, especially my kids. If they want chiffon cakes or lapis cake, it's just a phone call to grandma and the next day we have yummy cakes.  We live

In the box: Roast beef sandwich with foccasia bread, babybel cheese, mushroom soup (in container) & watermelon. My girl stayed back in school today again, for Chinese oral.  Stressful period.....  Not only for students, for parents as well...

Beanie hardly have any chance to learn climbing up & down the stairs.  Going to the bookstore is a good time for him to practice that.  See how happy he was when he was able to do it on his own. I like the way he turned back to see how many steps he has climbed, the way he said "yeah!' when he did it and the way he called for Z as he was going up. Going up..... Coming down....

Beanie is a happy boy, he often seen with a smile on his face. Everyone says that, including my neighbours.  I'm very blessed... ♥ I remembered I was so stressed when I was pregnant with him.  I was so afraid that it will affect him and I end up with a grouchy baby.  I thank GOD for giving me a beautiful & cheerful baby. ♥ Little things make him happy! At the playground, playing with party

Last night, I was busied coaching Z how to write the composition and heard him crying.  Beanie fell and hurt himself while playing 'catching' with L.  It was very painful that he refused to let me apply the cream.  *sigh*

My princess went for her ballet grade 2 exam this morning....  Had to miss 2 lessons at school, unlike last year, she missed school to whole day.  She insisted on going to school so as not to miss any lesson. Even though this was her third exam, she is still very nervous.  Coz she has not been going for the extra lessons as often, due to loads of homework from school.  Sometimes she was just too

Have you seen a white butterfly?  Or is it a moth?  This was the caterpillar that we found the other day.

In the boxes: Baked pasta with mushroom sauce, sliced oranges, heart sausages, chicken sticks & harsh brown.  I have another box of pasta to clear and I will have more coming in when my dear cousin comes back from Italy. She is my 'supplier' for all the cute pasta, it's so much cheaper and more selections. As soon as she heard my kids like the cartoon character pasta, she's been getting boxes for

In the boxes: Rice, sweet peas, egg rolls, grapes, roast pork & corn Does it look like penquin?  Aiyo...  I didn't cook my rice well today.  It was not sticky enough and I had a tough time trying to shape it.  AND the shapes I cut out didn't come out nice too. Saw the roast pork when I was at the market and couldn't resist getting it for lunch.  Save me the hassle of cooking a dish. Hehe... Z

In the box: Baked pasta, garlic bread, edamame, babybel cheese & water apple.  My girl requested for pasta again, so I prepared baked pasta (slight difference from the previous bento). She finished everything coz what I packed today was all her favourite.  She loves cheese, especially babybel.  She often complained that she's fat and yet she's taking lots of it.  I'm not stopping her from eating,

In the boxes: Pasta with tomato sauce, mini corn dogs, grapes & strawberries. We used to buy corn dog at cold storage, then I thought, why not make some instead of buying?  I was so happy to find cornmeal the other day. Wonder if it's me only, it took me so long to find it. LZ were happy to have corn dog for their bento. It was a hit with my family and especially LZdaddy. He gobbled down the

In the boxes: Yakitori, edamame, orange, rice &  coloured quail eggs I feel bad that Z's last bento was quite plain, no colour and I recently prepared a rilakkuma bento for L.   So today's bento, I tried to make it more colourful & cuter for him. Phew!  Happy that my boy liked it.

In the boxes: Beef rolls with carrots, broccoli, strawberries, corn & Japanese fishcake. My gal's latest craze is Rilakkuma and I have not prepared any rilakkuma bento for her.  Tried making one for her lunch and this is the best that I can come up with. I bought her a rilakkuma umbrella, her last year birthday pressies, her cutlery box & her lunch note papers are all about rilakkuma too.
