Nice long Raya break

Had a relaxing long weekend. Almost a week in total since Hari Raya fell on a Sunday :)

As you guessed, was super reluctant to return to work by the end of it, haiya so fast leh * sob* But bills must be paid and so dragged myself out of bed and was very happy the traffic was super clear, ha ha people must still be away. Well I'm not complaining *big grin*

We didn't do much, ie go anywhere. With the H1N1 pandemonium, we have been reluctant to go anywhere. Think many people also share this thinking.

Managed a short trip to Pahang to visit an Aunty last minute (sorry Kel for missing our meet-up - but glad the weather was great unlike a few of the previous wet days which were perfect for a late sleep in :) ).

Manage to see two movies with MP - er, all kiddies of course - UP and G-Force. UP was nice but thought it was probably a little too adult for small children with all the hidden meanings, etc. Didn't realize the "G" from G-Force stands for gunnie pig. From the trailers, thought they were hamsters! Still don't know the difference. Anyway, it was entertaining and managed to trick the grandparents into coming too, ha ha.

Also spent some time surfing the net at cafe's with free WiFi.

Master Prince gets very excited and totally absorbed with his online games - whole body moving and everything, leg thumbing/shaking PLUS extra own sound effects - chew, chew, chew-chew-chew, eeeeeeeeeow, come on, go go go etc!! Glad the cafe music is loud enough that I do not feel too conscious - although I do get a few occasional amused smiles from nearby tables when the volume of his voice gets louder!! Lolz

Update: As for how the house renovations is going....we are now renovating on weekends. Yep, weekend builders, er....renovators!! At this 'slow' rate, not exactly sure when we will 'finish' and move in. Guess even after the official move-in there will still be lots to do, TIME (lots of it) will make it home-y!! Btw, for those interested - HomeDec is next weekend, great place to get ideas etc. We still need to look for a reasonably priced mosquitoes netting. So far the ones we liked are a little pricey. But hiya they are such a necessity here right? Just absolutely get so annoyed when mosquitoes manage to get into the bedrooms and disturb our peaceful slumber!!!!

Have a good weekend.

Bentos #248 & 249

Bento #249

Another speedy bento - Round onigri with some fish fingers, endamame, tomatoes, broccoli, carrots and stewed mushrooms.

Boxing simple bentos cos I've temporarily stored most of my bento tools away.

Bento #248

Since Halloween is around the corner (end of October) I've noticed a few 'monster' bentos in other blogsites that I frequently visit.

This is my poor attempt without much tools - ha ha. Used giblets for the eyes. I'm rather surprised MP actually likes eating giblets. Actually M tricked MP by saying its 'chewy octopus'. Yes M has away with MP that I somehow don't, perhaps that's one of the pros being the grandparent!

Oh...in the bento is a heart-shaped (but looks more triangular) onigri with some stewed chicken, carrots, broccoli and leftover egg patties.
