Bento Lunch.

For the past two weeks, we had embarked on the journey to healthy diet. My wife had been waking up at 6.30am every morning to prepare our bento lunch!

Usually, there will be rice, vegetables and fish/chicken in our bento. I must say, the bento suited my taste! The fish are usually my favourite, salmon and cod. Throw in some fruits, its a balanced diet. Delicious!

In some way, my wife has surprised me with her ability and enthusiasm to cook. She wasn't much of a cook before marriage. Now, she's getting the hang of it. It wouldn't be long before I start inviting people over for dinner. :p I guess she has a good shifu to transfer the culinary skills to her! ;-)

My friend joked that the bento lunch probably will not last for more than a year! I laughed over it, "That long?". Hah...

There are many benefits in bringing bento lunch to work. Besides being a healthier choice, we can also save a few bucks. But it certainly takes the effort to wake up early and cook. To expedite the work, my wife prepares the ingredients at night. She will only steam or boil, occasionally stir-fried. Thus, ensuring its healthy food, and keeping the washing simple.

I think if time permits, I hope my readers will consider bringing bento lunch to work as well. But keep these thoughts from the canteen uncles and aunties! :p Sleep early, wake up early, appreciate the love that is fueling the persistence of your spouse.

This is no gimmick, no tricks of courtship. This is day to day effort to do the best for someone you love. Thanks dear!

Very healthy lifestyle indeed! I find a 3-tier electric steamer very convenient for healthy home-cooked meals -- rice, vegetables, and soup (for some models) can be prepared within 45 minutes.

My baby is eating healthy homemade meals too. :)

Cheers,

I wish i would have someone to make bento for me too...haha

But an interesting thought crossed my mind. You can consider setting up a Bento club in the workplace (Emails are powerful ads). Eat together and even take reference from each other's bento for new ideas.
Promote healthy lifestyle!

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

I Will Be Back With More Time.

It is more than two years since I last blogged! Not that nothing interesting happened. In fact, plenty happened! Shifted house, shifted office, boys grew, had Hand Foot Mouth Disease (ouch!)! Just to name a few. There were gains and losses. Life's ups and downs. Of me, and those around me. I haven't been doing much deep thinking and thus less writing. Not enough time? That is probably an excuse. But it is true that I have not slept well for quite awhile. It is hard to explain the stress from work, where nothing goes smooth, and every step forward is a hurdle. Technology also had made it simple and addictive for us to mindlessly share. Share our thoughts in bits and pieces. Forming persona of ourselves to acquaintances and friends I hardly meet anymore. I remember experimenting with Tumbler, finding ways to post once, publish everywhere. It didn't quite work out. Even when technology made it is so easy, I have not been diligently editing and uploading photos of my darlin

The Last 24 Hours, Twenty-Thirteen.
