New toys

I have some new toys today, so that spurred me on to make a bento this evening. To tell the truth, we didn't spend the entire day doing revision. It started off with some online homework and some written ones given by the Chinese teacher. But what got me off to a bad start this morning was that the minute my eyes were open, I was greeted with a 'I can't find my planner!', and that got me out of bed pretty quickly. Found the hubby digging everything out of the school bag. Here I am stressing like, oh no, what are we going to do now. The userid & url are all written in a note in there. While I was fussing and nagging, the two of them nicely settled themselves down in the computer room and logged in. So what was all that fuss when the girl could remember her passwords etc, I don't know. Anyway, a classmate's mum suggested that she might have left the planner in school so I'm hoping she's right. Even though it's the end of the school year, we do want to keep that, and fingers crossed it didn't go missing. All the memories of her first year in a primary school are in there. I'm a sentimental person, so yes, I will keep such things.

After her e-learning work was done, we made a trip to Orchard. We had a simple lunch there and picked up some stuff. Then it was home again for the start of mummy's work. Hehe. I'm taking a break now after dinner and giving her a bit of tv time as she's been doing quite a few tests since the afternoon.

My friend told me to expect a package in the post this week so when I got home this afternoon, I had to stop by the mailbox and was elated to find it waiting there for me. Little girl couldn't wait to open it so I let her do the honours. There was a whole bunch of stuff in there, but the one I was most eagerly waiting for were the emoticon picks as shown in the bento above. I did not just use one. I had to use at least 3! Haha. I thought the patterned pick made a very cute hair do for the yellow face. The diecut HK bento is super cute.

Knowing that I'd be tired after a few hours out, I thought we'd just have hotdogs for dinner. For her bento, I cut up a hotdog bun in half, slathered it with pizza sauce, and sliced up the sausages and topped that with some cheese, and baked them to make submarine pizzas. Of course that was not all she had for dinner. She had a whole hotdog bun on the side. The jelly was made by a friend's mum for her, so that went in the bento. There was half a tomato, some strawberries & some mini Easter eggs. There is also some ketchup in the little HK container with the spoon.
