Complaints, complaints & surprises (the all-in-one post)

Gosh my blood is boiling. I know, it's Lent, I should try to be more forgiving. Unfortunately, argh, even though I know who the culprit is, I can't confront them without evidence! We just got home a little while ago and saw some little black creepy crawlies, and if you know me by now, I hate those little things. Hubby saw two climbing along our door frame and then when I went to throw out some rubbish, I found to my shock, that someone had left a cake box with the cake base and leftover cream and cake beside the bin area. That is what they are coming for! Sometimes I do hate these common rubbish bins. Granted, it's better than having your own within your house, because we don't get cockroach or rat problems that way. Still, people need to be more considerate. The whole area stinks, as not only have they put the cake box there, they have also thrown some bags of rubbish (foodstuff) along with that! Argh!!!! Why are some people so lazy they can't even open the chute and dump stuff in?? It's not like they need to physically pull it open, they just need to use their foot on the pedal! If they are that lazy, they do have a helper!!!

Little people are people too.

How many times have you been to a restaurant and the little people aren't given menus? Somehow they are always invisible and only adults can be seen. Also when in a queue, I've seen adults ignore kids and cut the queue or the service staff totally ignores them. We experienced that today when princess went to order a cake at a coffee joint. She came back without her cake and said that the lady didn't see her, and didn't want to go back again to get it. I think what could have happened was that she must have served the person behind princess. It takes a lot of effort on a kid's part to have that much courage to go independently to do stuff. I've always taught her from a very young age to be independent and not be shy. She is still struggling a little with it but on the whole she's doing a good job.

On a brighter note, so pleased to catch this beautiful sight last evening from my kitchen window. I love rainbows. I remember one year we went to Hawaii and there were rainbows every day. What a pretty, awesome sight!

Friend told me that she had sent this over in the beginning of the week. I'm so pleased that it took 5 days to arrive. Love all the stuff she sent especially the face punchers, and the fork & spoon one which I can't find at all in Singapore. She even got the sausage cutters! And so kind of her to get those Happy Birthday candles as well. Yippee! I do so wish that the 100 yen shop will find its way to our shores soon. Thanks very much, girlfriend. :D

These were some of the bento boxes that she got from 100 yen. Love them all. :)

I love how compact they become when they are folded up.

Here's another gift from another friend...

I sprinkled some hello kitty seaweed on princess' dinner last evening, and made her a Japanese curry which she's currently in to. I wouldn't even call it curry, it wasn't even a tiny bit spicy haha.

We had chicken nasi briyani which I had bought from my hawker centre in the afternoon. Was a good move, as it rained very heavily in the late afternoon, so we didn't need to go out to get food. Hubby enjoyed it and it was very reasonably priced at $3 a packet. Where can you get a nice packet of nasi briyani at that price these days??

Have a good week ahead. For me, I'm looking forward to being on my own again during the day. :)
