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!

Resolutions 2012.

While my one-year-old is going for his first steps, I am also learning to walk (again). 2011 was full of ups and downs.  I was promoted for the 2nd time in my first job. Not fantastic but not bad either after six years. The challenging issues justifies for the few more dollars increment to the stipend. Murphy is my good friend. With only the final milestone left, I hope to overcome all odds and pull the rabbit outta the hat in 2012! If I am lucky, I may run another project.  For the consecutive year, I expended all my medical leave. After hearing my story, some may say 父爱是伟大的. Some may think I was pure clumsy. As my son likes to watch basketball playing, I decided to show him how to do it myself. At first I felt good, I got it plenty of shots. Unfortunately, I broke my ACL while chasing after the ball. It has been two months and my knee is still weak and hurts occasionally. I plan to go for surgery in 2012, while performing the balancing act of pulling the rabbit and recup...

The Last 24 Hours, Twenty-Twelve.

It is becoming a tradition. This is the fourth time for me. This year, two new companions joined me for this journey in the last 24 hours of 2012. As usual, is only for a few hours in the afternoon. But I like the sound of it, "last 24 hours".  It started out in 2008 for me, a ala    Eye é City . For the record, it was another rainy new year's eve. We started our journey at Thian Hock Keng, Amoy Street and ended at Raffles City Shopping Centre. It was interesting for me as it was my first time to Thian Hock Keng. This year, instead of posting the photos here, I have uploaded them to my Flickr account . The photos look better there as I don't have to reduce the size of the photos for this blog. I will re-edit the past photos and upload them as well when I am free. Who will join me next year? You can sign up now!

The Last 24 Hours, Twenty-Thirteen.
