Let's Karaoke (B#262)

Actually had different ideas about today’s bento. Originally intended to use the Calipo cone-shaped biscuit as ears for some mysterious beast. But when I opened the box the biscuit was rather big, too large to be used as ears. Staring at it for a while, I thought it could pass as a microphone.

So despite it being the start of the week, here is a Monday – karaoke bento box! Ha ha In fact Master Prince has been quite enthusiastic singing with the microphone and even entered into the school singing contest a few months back! I can't really declare he possesses a ‘golden voice’ but we all truly admire his courage, well done as frankly none of us would have the guts to do this especially in front of the whole school!!

In this bento, a coffee flavoured bun, cheese, chocolate biscuit and some carrot sticks.

Where to begin.

Money and petrol spent transporting a certain species from far off luscious green lands. Hard physical sweat laboured on the rocky clay grounds, so hard it broke a spade. Tenderly watered daily with great hopes its beauty can be shared, enjoyed and perhaps admired by all.

….only to be disappointed with a rouge vandal uprooting the entire tree and toss onto the side of the street 200 meters away. Left to perish and be decomposed at the side of the road or be picked by Alam Flora the garbage collector.

This is actually the second tree I have planted at the same spot. The 1st tree was a young weeping willow tree and was most upset as I thought someone had stolen it.

Now I realize that both trees planted outside the house have been vandalised, much to my chagrin.

To cut the story short, decided to re-plant the uprooted tree to a nearby park as the pots in my house were much too small. Millions are spent for ‘plant-a-tree’ day as part of efforts to lower global warming. Since this tree managed to survive a week above grounds – nobody bothered to ‘adopt’ the poor abandoned tree during that time – think it really deserved a second chance and a second home.

Have been checking it a few days in a row, seems to be doing well and am pretty certain it will be much safer there. I was very fortunate that I choose a good time to replant it as the grounds were very soft due to the heavy down pour earlier in the day, making the re-planting exercise very much easier.

Not giving up so easily. :) *evil grin*

Last night, decided to plant a pandanus tree in the wide gaping hole. Am hoping whoever is the culprit will give up and leave the plant alone. Haven’t we humans ravage and exploited earth’s natural resources in dangerous extremities? Why can’t we live with a little inconvenience, give back a little and appreciate nature’s beauty; knowing that in fact we will also benefit in return?

Adopt a tree, save earth!
