Tadika Brainchild Sports Day 17 Jul 2010

This year Tadika Brainchild Sports Day was held on Saturday, just like previous year.

This year is the first time that Annabelle joined the Sports Day event.

And, it is special as this year too the Sports Day were joined by both brother and sister.

The event started with the children marching out from the class rooms to the little field in front of the school building.

And, all the children had to wear the school P.E. T-shirt with socks and sports shoes.

After all the opening speech by the principal, and a performance from the children.

The games started as like last year the older children first.

Issac was walking on a plank of timber wood and combination of few games. He was enjoying himself!

After the games, all the children deserved a token of price – a medal for the great job they have done!

Next was the younger children turn, as Annabelle started her games too.

She enjoyed the games with her team and friends too! She got a medal too!

Besides the medals, all the kids have a goodie bags from the school too. I took a photo of both of them at the end of the game.

It was a fun activity and day too for all of us!

Kids Bento ~ Sausage Octopus & Omelette Cheese Rolls

Today after Mummy fetched both Issac and Annabelle, and after had my fast dinner for myself, as both of them had taken theirs at the Nursey.

I tried out something new snacks for them : sausage octopus and omelette cheese rolls. I learned the sausage octopus from internet Youtube.

All you have to do is slice the ends off of a couple hot dogs, make six slits in the bottom, and brown the suckers in hot oil.

As they cook, the little “legs” naturally start to curl, and when you turn the sausages to brown all sides, the legs bloom outwards in octopus-y fashion. Very cool.

But I did not use the hot oil, instead I boiled the sausages in hot water, the “legs” start to curl as well.

Then, I suppose to use cheese slices to make a hair band on every each of the octopus. But due to the sausages were still hot, the cheese melted! It became so funny!

As for the omelette, heat the frying pan, then pour in the beaten egg and over low heat cook it over until done.

After which, transfer to a cutting board. I just put a slice of cheese on top, and start to roll the egg from left to right.

And, slice it into bite-size pieces. The cheese also melted!

I quickly put into the bento box, and put some pre-cut flower shape carrots. The bento turned out to be “really really funny” or “disaster” !

I prepared some ham cheese sandwich for the kids too. But in the end both Issac and Annabelle also finished up the sausages and omelette.

Kids Bento ~ Little Green Tree

This is a meal that Mummy learning from the blogs which Mummy is followings: The Green Little Tree.

Ingredients are simple: Green spinach noodles, yellow baby corns, red Lyceum Chinese Miller and green beans. Well, everything just boiled to cook, the noodles stirred with some fried onions oils, soy sauces and sprinkle with little salt to taste.

Mummy just placed noodles on top of the plate, with some baby corns and red lyceum Chinese Miller, those red and yellow colours make it looks like tree trees flowers. The green colour beans as the tree trunk and the noodles bottom as the green green grass. A touch of dark red brownish colour on tree green grass is the fried spring onions.

Home do not have white colour based plate, if not the dish will turn out nicer. Current using is blue dragon painted porcelain soup plate or dish plate. Mummy will look out for some new table wares which have characters and interesting.

Ha-ha… everyone had their small little green tree including Daddy too!

New Project: Bento

These few days, Mummy was following some ‘new friends’ blogs on Blogger. There are some of them attracted me a lot, especially Rachel Hei’s. She was a Malaysian wife whom husband working abroad at UK, a full time homemaker. She is blogging about how she prepares for her girl’s meal in a bento way.

Hem… a good idea to pack for young children whom are picky eater. Especially Issac is one of them. So, Mummy was thinking maybe mummy should try some of it as every time reading those bento blogs, always feel kike trying it because there are so so so cute.

Ok, then gathering and surfing from internet on some bento stuffs or gadgets to start with. Hope it will be fruitful and fun…not half way stop again!

Well, the beside photo was the spaghetti which Mummy cooked some mushrooms, dried chillies, broccolis, and prawns fried with some garlic.

Babies New Crocs

Today we waked up around 8.00am, took our early bath, then we drove out and had our breakfast. We had our Dim Sum breakfast at SS15, Subang Jaya. Issac and Belle had their half bowl of pork porridge with century eggs (皮蛋瘦肉粥) as their breakfast, whereby Daddy and I had some Roast Pork Bun (义燒包), Shrimp Dumpling (蝦餃), Pork Dumpling (燒賣), Steamed Pork Rib (蒸排骨), Shanghai Steamed Bun (上海小籠包), etc. Then, babies had their Milo Ice and adults had our Teh C Ice. We had a great meal.

Then, we went to the new shopping centre near Subang Parade – The Empire Shopping Gallery. Well, it is not a big shopping, but nice to walkabout. You would not feel tire, it is just nice.

Daddy had found a Crocs Shoe Shop, and bought both the babies, their first Crocs Clogs.

Issac’s is a Toy Story Kids’ Custom Clog in green colour base and with the blue colour band with the Toy Story wordings on it. The Left clog is with Woody on it and the right clog is with Buzz Lightyear on it. The background is some others cartoon characters such as Mr & Mrs Potatoes, Pig, etc engraved in the same green colour.

Belle’s is a Hello Kitty Kids’ Custom Clog which is combination of light and dark pink colour. The Left is the small bunny with some flowers, fence on the green grasses, whereby the right clog is the Hello Kitty sitting on the green grasses.

Mummy and Daddy knew that Crocs is a famous brand, but we did not expect that the price would be so expensive, as both pairs of kid’s shoes costs around RM258.00. Woah! but it is really a pair of good looking shoes. Mummy really likes it, both pairs was so cute and adorable. Just hope that the shoes would not be missing when both wear to school…

New Toys!

We went to Subang Parade today. There are flea markets at 1st and 2nd floor designated along the walkway of Subang Parade. There are many small business owners come together and sell their merchandise here.

We have found something interesting toys or rather games for the children. They are so excited and eagerly want to play once we reached home.

It is 2 play mats which can join together and with a small town plan printed on it, it comes together with the wooden train and car and the children just can place the vehicles on the roads on the play mats.

Both Issac and Annabelle are so enthusiastic with their new toys!

We were at home and going to Summit USJ Shopping Mall.
