bento # 6.5 - mummy's cooking

yeahhhh.....this one also another long forgotten bento pic. keep keep keep for so long and didn't post it. so bad lah me...this one is a MUST to post it coz it's cooked by my mum....我的妈妈....yayaya..my dearest mum when she was here attending my convocation. she bring all the way the squid (tomato squid - my favourite) and the chicken (becoz she claimed the chicken over in west m'sia not nice wor) so, she bring her 'kampung kueh' (kampung chicken lar) all the way from Sarawak. :) carrying such heavy luggage bag full with foods for me. i'm really a lucky daughter, isnt' it?
my mum know about my bento interest and say she can cook for me and i can bring to worklor. so nice neh. the tomato squid and the soya sauce ginger chicken. hmmm....two thumbs up neh. look a bit 'wet' hor this bento, coz got sauce mah, then must bawa the sauce sekali lah. but my rice i cook myself lah.
how i wish i know how to cook this lah....mum say, "very easy, first hor..the chicken, mummy already packed nicely for u..u just have to defroze it and then hor...a few slice of ginger...heat up the oil and then put ginger in.....and...and.." i'm basically *lost* there liao...so easy for mummy but it's like 'er...hah? oh? ehhh? hhmm..neeh..ahh?' for me. aiyooo very cham lah like this..simple simple meal also tak boleh. pai seh betul to be my mummy's daughter. :(

determined to learn from mummy....actually i got try to fried mummy's fried rice (with ikan bilis one) the taste emmm..of coz can't compare lah...how to compare...the look and the smell is there but the taste...emmm...i must say i need to work a bit harder..i mean real harder to get the taste correctlylar.... hahahah...and i also got try to cook mum's chicken soup which also have the look and the smell but the taste is so far gone.. :( dunno where i go wrong lah. i followed the step, the ingredient and everything liao but stilll.....that's y i'm the daughter and mummy is mummylar, i guess. kkekekekee.....kekeeke..

bento # 5.5

hahha.....that's how i named it. bento # 5.5 - coming in between bento # 5 and bento # 6. i kept the pic for so long but just didn't have time to post it...and then i forgot about it. when i remembered about it, i'm at bento # 8 already. so, this is the 'in between' bento....hahahaha...

just feeling wanna have noodles and egg and vege so i wake up and just cooklah. the egg like not very pretty look hor...pai seh pai seh...i think i was cooking the noodle and frying the egg at the same time. trying to act pro lah at the kitchen early early in the morning. kekeke..hence the egg...a bit 'burnt'. :( but still edible lah... teach me next time don't do two thing at one time....or maybe the stovelah (trying to find faults in other thing) kakakakaka.....

Bento # 7 : bento-ing comeback

just a very very simple bento for my 'bento comeback'....

not been bento-ing since....errr....since when ah.....since.....aiyo...pai seh to cakaplah. schedule tunggang-langgang (means up and down lar....luang luang liao) so routine pun luang luang liao lor...no more routine to wake up earlier to make bento liao. got actually...but it's just bread spread with butter and kaya. spread with jam, peanut butter and the fastest...kekeke....just put a slice of cheese...and taaadaaahh...kau-tim!
hehehe..so today...no no no yesterday, have been telling myself i need to wake up and make myself bento to bring to work today. a must. a must. plan already wanna cook rice and chicken curry (can punyer lah) and then vege (pre-packed punyer also), BUT.....end up i didn't cook rice, so semua pun tak jadi. :( i still make bento BUT different content liao. Kakakakaa...

talk about last nite...the weather is so cooooollll....i slept before 1am. covered myself under my quilt...ooooo...and the wind.....wooo....play on lite n ez and i'm puffff....zzzZzZZzzzzzz sampai ke Mongolia liao in just a minute! Kekeekek...
so, when this morning, the alarm 7.30 rrrriiinnnnngggg....i just urrrgggghhhhhh......bbbeeennntttoooo...............wake up to go to the toilet....then...then...then...come back to my BED...kekeek....and laze another 10 minutes......keep telling myself...bbbbeeennntttoooo....... Kakakakaka....kakaaka.... so, 7.50am (ooppss...not really 10 minutes), then i just wake up lar...dun wan laze liao....kenot laze liao lah......so, make my bed and then go to the kitchen and 'klik klok klik klok klik klok' at the kitchen...(hopefully didn't woke up my other two housemates) kekeke....and thinking since my rice, chicken curry and vege "kaput" already, then i will cook something else lah.....

so, decided....a pack of Ibumie and 2 eggs (too heavy??? no lah hor...coz it's morning mah...breakfast mah....) to tahan myself till lunch neh.... right? then chose to use this bento container or that bento container. i tell u...the spirit of bento-ing coming back lah.... :) so happy myself at the kitchen there.... frying the eggs..cutting it into pieces, then "stuff' my noodle into the smaller container (hehehe...really have to stuff lah) then band with the brown bento band......
taaaddddaaahh...bento done and it's just 8.18am :) keekekeekeke...sempat lagi shower slow slow before go to work. :)

oh..lupa cakap..i also bawa bread...just normal breadlah...spread with peanut butter and another piece put cheese. :) (for calsium sake) and this is for lunch... heavy breakfast, lesser lunch and least dinner (my motto lar....to diet a bit)

so...yaaa..that's about it...my 'comeback' to bento-ing. must admit to start doing tat again, i feel a bit 'urrrggghh' but after doing it, while doing it...kekeke...the 'yeaaahh'...come back. so......my rice, curry chicken and vege might just be my bento for tomorrow...keekekekee...ekekeke.. (already excited about it).

the bento bag

~ My One n Only Bento Bag ~


hmm...not sure if it's clear for u to see, auntjo. u need me to take any other angle? the bag is basically like this and just nice looking when u put in ur bento set.
ya, sue was telling me how nice if my sister still fly to Japan and can get more of this bag(s) from 100 Yen Shop there. i bet they sure have more things to sell than the outlets here. :) i'll go crazy then!!!! Hahahahaha....

a short note to my sis here. Cheh, never knew this bag u bought so many years ago can go so handy with my current
interest in bento-ing. thanks cheh. i'm so so so so so so lucky......(i really am)

btw, so sorry for my late post, ya. heheeh..i remember to do it. just can't find time to snap it and put it up in my blog. hope u can get an idea of how this is made. :)

yeah, walked through Terry Fox Run. . .

2nd Nov, determined to go for the run and i made it there, though a bit late and San have to help me to buy the shirt coz 'kiasu'...takut habis mah, takut no saiz liao mah. so, instead of having to park the car with other cars lining up in front of us, we were directed to go into the park's carpark (hmmm...make sense) and then very very very very very lucky still have some parking there. so, though a bit late, still can reach there around 8.35am. :D what a relief...
finally met San there...happily passed me the shirts and take photos there. it's really really really crowded lar especially at the starting point. the host, Yasmin Yusof, well..it's been quite a while haven't heard from her (since zaman Patrick Teo). ppl come with kids, baby strollers, and doggie...and bicycle, roller blade,.....so many so many so many of them are first timer....hehehe..so glad made it there lar. warm up a bit with a songs and there we gooooo.....can't run lah, can run slow but no point lah....later very 'chuan' neh..and even walking already i sweating like mad....maybe due to the weatherlah.
after walk walk walk, got water to drink somemore...hahahah..then continue to walk again. after walking for sometimes and thot it's going to finish, mana tau still got a big round around the lake before making it to the finishing line. too bad mr.dd feet got blistered due to the shoes lah...so, we use 'short cut'...ahhahaah...excuse ah, no no no...it's really no excuse...he really pain liao mah...so, we walk across a small bridge and and...and....tadah...reached the finishing line. Heheehehe.....hehehe...
afterthat, we eat the bread that i prepared last nite to ease our stomach first before heading home. stay at the children playground there for awhile and noticed a lot a lot of funny exercise equipments there...really interesting but if only i have anymore energy to go and check it out. :P

what a great and meaningful sunday..... :)
will do it again next year!!!!
