Very surprisingly she know the soba was not cooked by daddy. Whats the different? Daddy's is tastier? She answered yes. OMG. Then hubby asked what I use to cook the sauce. Oh I left out one ingredient - Dashi. No wonder she can taste differently. However, she ate but didn't finished only.

Our Breakfast!
Our aquarium of fishes had dead many and left 2 in it for quite sometime. Hubby promised Sheyanne to get some new fishes friends. Before that, we brought Jayne for Injection. This injection had been delayed for so long. It supposed to be jab when she is 12months but now she already 17months.

Her weight: 8.4kgs

Doctor claimed that her growth is a bit slow according to her aged and he asked us about her eating habits at this moments. Currently she mostly take her milk with cereal only. Normal meal like porridge or rice she is not taking. She is fussy with food. Doctor mentioned she can't to be continue again like this way. We have to find out the recipes that she like. Must add in some meat & vegetable for her to balance her diet to help her growth. After listened, we were quite worried. 
Choosing her own new fishes
However, we proceed to the Pudu pets streets. Hubby let Ann catch the fishes that she want to bring home. It is a very good experience for kids. But the owner uncle there not allowed kids to catch, hubby just hold Ann hands and they catch together. They were pretty excited with the new member to be bring home. 
Put the new fishes in the pail...
After homed, put the fishes into a pail for a while before pouring them all into the aquarium. :) Since I got some free gifts of baby food from Parenthood expo, I gave it to Jayne see whether she like it or not. Surprisingly she love it very much with the baby food of egg custard. She feed herself spoon by spoon and enjoying together with us.

Penguin Egg & Shaped Pasta

Learned the penguin decor from Internet from a sample of bento making book. I didn't buy but it showed me, I just do it by my way. Cut the hard boiled egg to half, and another half left for hubby. Then the cooked the shaped pasta. Decor a wiener as a rat and a ham as a teddy bear. It was time consuming for making the penguin but i still managed to get it done.
 Ann Bento
Lil Penguin Egg
1st of all, I m very happy that the naughty girl become very good girl. She willing to wear the dress which she had rejected all the time. Together with her lovely cardigan some more. 2ndly, she clear all the food in her bento today. I m so glad about it and I told her that:" Mummy giving you 3 stars today for her good behave!" She seems very happy. Now whenever she rejected my order or being naughty, I will just ignore her and let her be, then pretend I m ok with it. Then she become more scare and not dare to offence me again. However, sometime I need to let her go and sometime need to get back the strings on her. Hope this way help!

Ann made me mad

Tonight I was having a company dinner with my boss and fellow collegues last minutes. This information just announced around 5.30pm. And our dinner start at 7pm. What a rush??!! However, while I was having dinner, I received a call from hubby, he requested me to go back SP to pick the kids after my dinner. As he need to fetch his parents to hospital to visit his uncle.

Totally no mood after I got the news. But situation still not allow me to leave soon as the dishes are not served all yet. Everyone is still waiting for the crab. But to me, I was very disappointed. The ordered steam crabs & sweet & sour taste crabs. Both not nice to me. Lady of us were prefer to have salty egg crabs. :)

We dismissed around 9pm I quickly rush home to pick my kids. The purpose of the company dinner is to celebrate the promotion of our member. Ee promoted from Factory Manager to Deputy Assistant Manager and Yamashita-san had promoted to R&D Manager.

As I was home, I found that Ann skipped her school today. I was very angry about it. She skipped school because she doesn't want to change the clothes / dress that I had prepared early to school and it was late. Coz my FIL is rushing to send my MIL to work after sending her to school. She keep on crying and also beaten by my FIL. She is very good acting. As I was home, she always tell me bad stories about Jay Ee. She told me, the sister was beaten by 'yeh yeh" coz she do not eat her porridge. And keep on telling other topics and etc which is non related to herself.

Then I told her, I do not want to talk with disobedient child. I just ignore her while I was doing some packing and changing Jayne to Pajamas. Then I told her, later I will send her to the jungle to meet the tiger when we are on the way home. She showed me a "naughty" face and she said she won't go down there. I just ignore her.

When come to the place where we usually asked her to go down to find the tiger, I stopped my car there. I shouted at her and she is so smart, she go to far far behind the car from the front seat next to me till the end. Then she start crying and told me she very scared. She do not want to go tiger there. I said why you want to make people angry you, can't you just be good girl? You are big girl already, no longer baby. you must listen to "yeh yeh", "mah mah" and daddy & mummy! I had told her that she must wear the dress to school. The dress had been choosen since a week but she still didn't wear it. She like to choose a own fashion to school. Sometimes the dress or clothes that she like, she can wearing it day and night and very often. It really made me headache. I purposely choose those dress / clothes that she dun like to school. Wanted her to change her choosing own fashion habit. She had promised me she will wear the dress tomorrow, if not I can punished her by sending her tiger there. Let see how tomorrow! Stubborn child!

When I reached home, I take bath and hubby was back at this time. Then hubby told me you know the story and bad things Ann did today? I said Yes. Then he asked me how I know. I said she told me herself. Then hubby talk to Ann, admit what's she did wrong is a good sign. But also must changed and never repeat again next time. Cannot make everyone angry. Otherwise no one want play you anymore. Whenever she made daddy wrong, she will always say sorry and kiss daddy. Sometimes her kiss will covered up all the burning fire.

Educating kids is really not an easy job. This had been challenging me after Jayne is born. Ann become more and more disobedient sometimes. Haih.............Sometimes I know scolding is not the best way. But I had just tried many ways. All can't really work well. I will just ignore talking with her next time when she did wrong for sometimes untill she is worry only I talk again with her. Should I?

Mickey on Dora Shaped Pasta

Suppose this should be yesterday bento. Shaped Dora pasta I had got it quite sometime in supermarket from Bangsar groceries. I decor a piece of ham with Mickey backside. I think she will know who is the character. Shaped the hard boiled egg as a star and decor with smiley expression.
Micket on Dora Shaped Pasta
She told me she got eat but didn't finished as she do not like the meat in the pasta. So fussy of her. By the way, she did something very wrong today!

Ingredients:
Grated cheese
Butter
Fresh Milk
Salt & pepper for taste
Flour

1. Cooked the macaroni as usual and set aside.
2. Put some butter at the low medium pan and let the butter melt. (do not burn the butter)
3. Add some flour and stir well.
4. Add in the fresh milk. (avoid boiling)
5. Lastly put the grated cheese. It will melt itself and turn off the fire.
6. Add some salt and pepper accordingly for the taste.
7. Pour over the macaroni and serve.

I do not measure the portion of ingredients since the portion to cook for Ann alone is very small. The spongebob was decor by the egg sheet & ham. :)

Little Mouse Cha Soba

Soba is one of Ann favourite also. But unfortunately, while I was boiling the water to cook the soba, it was running out of gas. OMG! suddenly no gas, what to do? I change it to rice cooker to cook. It was overcooked and the soba is too soft. Then quickly decor the 2 quail eggs with little mouse.
