We really need to save more now!

Miss the Hamster

Hamster now is Sheyanne's darling. In the afternoon, hubby called me and told me that Ann is looking for me and asked me to return call to her.
Below was our funny conversation:
Mummy:" Ann,你找我吗?什么事?"
Ann:" 是啦!找你聊天嘛!”
Mummy:" 你是不是想我吗?"
Ann:"不是啦,Mummy, 我想我的 Hamster,我想摸他和抱它!“

Funny..I thought she missed me. But she was missing the hamster but not me. :( After I hanged up the calls, I felt so enegetic. Its funny to me and a motivation to continue my work. :)  Loves you always!

Butterfly Garlic Tuna Pasta

Since yesterday was successful with the recipe. Today I made for Ann also. Just decor it with 2 lovely butterfly. A little over portion for Sheyanne. Bet she can't finished it also. For LE & SE, I used the chili tuna.

Ann said the pasta is very nice & yummy but too much. She cannot finished up in school. For LE & SE, they mentioned that the ribbon pasta is quite hard and not soft enough. May be need to cook longer time in future as it is quite thick. But they still finished it and mentioned it is very full. :)

Tomatoes Sauce Pasta

My SIL love the bento prepared by me last week. She requested to do for her every morning for her breakfast and in returning they will supply me the ingredients from time to time. Today I made the tomatoes sauce pasta for Sheyanne. Pre-prepared the Egg sheet alphabet last night to shorten my preparing time.
For SIL's breakfast, I just simply do as no need to do decor for them. I made salad for her today. It was so tempting for me even I do not like salad and vege. Haha:)

My Daring Ann

Sheyanne is very daring girl. Not only to us, many people said about she's daring even her school teacher said so. Last time at her aged 2, she dared to catch gold fish by her hands also. To me, I feel so geli! She is happy playing with her little pet - hamster now. Hope to build up her caring and loving same to her little sister also. :)

 See how daring is my girl!
Holding 2 hamster..I feel so geli! :)

Caterpillar Bento

Last week I did rice bento for Ann and although she didn't finished but I m glad at least she ate partial of the rice that I mixed with some tuna flakes. So hopefully no complain about the rice is tasteless. This is requested by her to make small little rice ball. So I came out the caterpillar idea as decor for her. Add in a corn, brocollis & cherry tomatoes. The whole bento just look wonderful. as its colorful!
Cute caterpillar...
Too sad that she didn't take the rice today. Finished the rest except rice! However, she told me that teacher was saying her bento is so nice. I really feel proud of it! Haha:) Another motivation but main point is to reduce Ann having more snacks and unhealthy rubbish junk food.

Since its a late lunch gathering by 2pm, we try not to wake up so early and kids woke up @ 9am. We had our breakfast outside at a mamak restaurant. Why mamak? Haha:) Feel like having a mamak mee goreng suddenly. Long time i didn't have the unhealthy food. We ordered a roti canai for Ann. She ate with the daul (curry kacang).
