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. :-)

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too...

Saturday Afternoon Routine.

I just got back from the Saturday tuition sessions. It has been almost 5 months since I started.I have two classes of primary school children, P4 and P3, taking Maths and Science, and English, respectively. It has become a Saturday routine. A energy-draining activity. It is somehow different from giving volunteering tuition. When you are paid, the responsibility seems greater. And if you ain't doing a good job, someone else is readily available to take up yours. The fact that I really need that money, I have to put in more effort. Some students have left, and some have joined. I'm not sure whether they left cuz they think I ain't good 'nuff for them. But there are some who seem really happy and appreciative to have me around. On my first lesson, I set the ground rules for my classes. I told them my expectations on their behavior. On boy, how naive I was. They are only nine or ten, they don't understand the significance of those rules. After a couple of lessons with ...
