My brunch bento

Today and the week will be superb busy for me in school.  Preparing my students for English Carnival ~ training them for “Action song”.  This would filled up my free periods thru out the day.  Besides my normal teaching class, I need to look into my action song team.

As a result, decided to pre packed my own brunch box to school.  I believe it’s much healthier and also cost saving.  Yeah…$$$ saved.  There aren’t choices in the menu of my school canteen.  Nasi Lemak doesn’t sound too good for a 40 something woman.  After eating the same food for many years, I started to get sick of them.  Nasi lemak, fried noodles…argh…..

So this morning, I made a brunch box for myself and also for Ah Boy.  I started to prepare the raw ingredients the night before.  After all, most of the ingredients are leftovers from last dinner.  Rice, fried tofu & anchovies. 

In the morning, I just have to fried the rice (minus msg, soy sauce) and made some eggs (bulls eyes).  Cut some cucumber slices and tomatoes. 

Taaadaaaa…as easy as A-B-C. 

Packed them in a tinfin and off to school.  The rice would remain warm in this special tin fin for at least 1-2 hours, no need to reheat whatsoever.   

Of course, I could only prepare simple food, as I'm not really good in cooking. Fried rice is the easiest as it doesn’t need too much prepare it. Simple food yet delicious….!

Today's brunch box



How about you? Do you like to prepare your own food and bring them to work? Or you'll prefer going out for lunch everyday?

Maths Fun

Fun with numbers....

Ah Boy having fun being  fisherman fishing for figure fish.  He has to get the answer, look for right fish and hook it up using a small tiny magnetic rod.  Ain't easy.  He has got to calculate the answers manually
Running against the time limit.  When everything done at a limited time, with much pressure...it sure force oneself to excel.  Under enormous pressure, things get done better...true ?


When things can done under pressure with time limit, under constant demands and extreme situations, children tend to fair better.  Ah Boy was practically grasping for air when doing that activity, as though there wasn't enough time to solve the mathematical problems.  The wantings of winning the game was the priority that made him work hard.  In fact, it made him more productive @ working hard to catch more fishes..!!


Learn things under stress....


Many a time....when we all must deal with deadlines, people making demands of us, and emergency situations. When under pressure, we feel as though there's never enough time to get things done. In fact, we may even become less productive because of worrying about all the work we have to do.  We handle stress and perform under pressure that make the top performers stand out above the rest. 


At the end of the day, Ah Boy did enjoy the game.   That's was utmost matter. 

Red or Blue

Indulged in some shopping spree which awaiting for Ah Boy to explore the Maths Carnival last Sunday.  Initially, supposed to window shop but...errr....."super sales, great sales, slashed prices...." So damn tempting...saliva drooling..

Indecisive mind...can't decide which colour..?  Red or blue.  Kinda liken both.  In the end, I bought both.  Save the hassle of picking either...! Luckily it's on sales 50%....! 
When back home, I tried on them again.  But think that they were way too childish for this 30 something aunty.  Hmmmm....can I wear them out..?  Aiyoyo...That's what I mean by "blind purchase" syndrome.  Buy bought purchase....then fill up the wardrobe and never wear them.  Accumulating volume in my closet.  Have to control that bad habit of impulse buying N little planning during shopping. 

Fun & Ah Boy

This is a post dated entry.  Browse through my camera and found a few snaps shots & video clips.  Thought they may be interesting to write about it. 

It was end of the st semester break.  [head shaking...] One week just flew passed like lightning, before you realised, it's over.  How fast...huh

Ah Boy needed his break, therefore took him to a Mathematics Fair organised by Petronas Science Centre.  It was held at Aeon shopping complex on Sunday @ 20 March.  Ah Boy participated in the Maths Monkey activity.  With a group of 10 children aged 8-10, he played a game related to numbers and figures.  Seemed to enjoyed himself though.  My main intention was to expose him to activities that help to build up him self esteem & confidence.  Wanna make him able to stand out in public, be bold, be brave and able to express himself well. 

Apart from the Maths Monkey activity, Ah Boy also went around to explore the various exhibition booth.  Theme~ Maths.

Kinda fun and educational way to kill time.  He enjoyed himself there.  While Ah Boy was there, mummy sneaked away to do some shopping.  Killed 2 birds with a stone, of sort.  Mummy went on to spend some shopping time menawhile Ah Boy had his own enjoyment.  

My Income Tax

Press ENTER~ mission accomplished.

Phew...just completed filling in my LHDNM eforms online.  Spent almost an hour key-in those details.  Need to be extra careful as I could only do it once.  Was struggling to find ways to lessen my deductions.  Just don't wanna missed out on any tax relief.  Every single cents counts !! Also need to tally with my proof of receipts and bills whatever....!  Arranged them in proper, clipped them...

Relief of purchasing books, sport items, PTPTN, broadband, insurances, .........everything must put it.  'Cari jalan kurang potong' 

Kinda like this e-forms.  Makes life easier as it will automatically calculate for you.  Put aside the calculator....  everything being programmed.  The entire process was much quickier and faster.... 

Although the dateline is still a month away but I think it's good that I do it earlier so that I needn't have to rush at the very last minute.  It would surely be snail crawling then when everyone rush to log in.  Don't wanna be in the same predicament like last year....almost screwed up!  Now I'm all done.

Another mission completed.  Sipping my a cup of warm milk before retiring to bed.
