Bentolicious #219
I'm back! I have been in MIA mode for the last 2 weeks from blogging. My kids were sitting in the mid-test 2 weeks ago and went home around 11AM. So I didn't prepare any bento for them. After the mid-test, the school hours is back to normal which means I should be back in bento making. I was busy last week since hubby was doing his Master program again in Singapore and India. So I didn't have much time to check the blogs and twitter. So sorry about no-update from me. During my absence in blogging, I just posted some pictures from my mobile phone to Instagram. If you have an account on Instagram then you can check my pictures. I use the same ID with my twitter's ID : bentolicious. 
One of my best friends had lost her husband from heart attack last Thursday morning, which put me in shock because I never heard that her husband had a heart problem before. I knew she was in a big shock too when she called me around 8AM. I couldn't believe it and was blank in few moments until I texted my husband. Thursday until Sunday became a very long day, I tried to give my support to her, being with her almost everyday. I hope God will give her and her kids strength so they can move on.
This week, a lot of routines changes for the kids which effect me too. Big A will have enrichment class at school twice a week and additional lessons at home for National exam twice a week with a tutor. Starting from now on, I will make a post at night after the kids go to sleep. And my bento making hour is changing from early in the morning to after kids go to school. It means I will send the bento 1 hour before lunch time to school from now on. Inside the boxes : rice, squirrel (made from yellow & white egg sheets, nori, jelly ball, food pick, lettuce), stir fry veggies (bean sprouts, carrots, ear wood mushroom, red paprika, spring onion), chicken cooked with dark soy sauce & rice wine, and cherry tomatoes.
