Bento #132

Clement had one of his wisdom teeth extracted yesterday. Being a loving and caring wife *ahem ahem*, I planned a soft diet bento for him -- japanese egg roll, steamed tofu with minced pork and shiitake mushrooms, and broccoli. To his pleasant surprise, he suffered no pain nor severe bleeding! Great! So I added in extra shiitake mushrooms for him to chew!!


This is my lunch. Big lunch! I had the same bento as Clement, plus a big serving of fruits. My school is very nice to teachers. Towards the end of each term, the principal and vice principals will give us a small treat to show their appreciation to us. Today we were treated to a bowl of soya bean curd each. It's not the food but the thought that counts. And my lovely colleague bought me a cup of nice cold barley so that I could quench my thirst after my consecutive lessons.

Little things like this make the workplace a happy one.

I planned to eat my lunch during my half an hour lunch break. By the time I came down from the classroom, 5 mins had passed. Ring ring, a call from a concerned parent. 10mins gone. 10mins to eat my fruits and tofu and 2 spoonfuls of rice. 5mins to get ready for the next lesson. By the time my lesson ended and I went back to my seat to complete my meal, it was 2.30pm.
This is quite "normal" for a teacher!
