Bentolicious #142

Made the Witch sillhoutte for today's bento. I found the picture from the internet. I copied and pasted it to a trace paper, put the trace paper on the top of the egg sheet and then cut it. This was pretty quick to do. Inside the box :rice, chicken karaage, braised five spice egg, and stir fried veggies (baby corn, carrot, green bean).
Indonesia is mourning for the earthquake with tsunami in Mentawai, Sumatera and for the volcano eruption in Merapi, Yogyakarta. There are many victims in those disasters. Hope and pray for them, hope God will give they strengths for this hard time and for them not to lose their hope. Jakarta itself had some flooding in some places in the past couple of days because of the extreme raining season. It has caused hour and hour of traffic jam. One of Jakarta's biggest problems that is never resolved yet after so many years. One only can hope that the condition is better soon. So sad all of these bad things happened in Indonesia. Although we can't avoid natural disasters but at least I think Government should have better plan to minimize the losses.

Added this bento to "What's For Lunch" every Wednesday. Add yours too!

This is so nice! It can't be easy Lia, is your skill that make it easy, haha...

A very good witch sillhoutte, Lia :)
*thumbs up*
yes, so concern over the natural disaster but so mad aver the flood issue. In my opinion, the city arrangement is terrible and the officials don't seriously get into it.

It seems like Indonesia has been beset by many disaasters and tragedies lately. Wishing all the best for the victims and families that are affected.

Hope you are feeling better too Lia! You always manage a delightful, bright bento to put a smile on my face. So thank you for that :o)

Very sorry to hear about the situation in Jakarta. It is indeed very sad. I'm sure many prayers are with you and your countrymen. You did a wonderful job with the witch and how can you even say it is easy?! Hahah!

@Kids Dream Work : Thanks a lot Ai Ping! Believe me, this one don't take a lot of time to do. And I love it because I don't need to make small details for the witch hehehe :)

@Journal Mommy Yenny : Thanks a lot Yen! Always so kind with your comment. I don't know until when the flood issue will remain ... Agree with you that our officials never seriously try to solve the problem and just blame it on the weather *sigh*

nice tracing and cutting done.

Watched the news, Yogjakarta is affected most is it? is it near to Jakarta?

Hope all the victims received the necessary assistance from the government and the public.
