Rilakkuma and Piano Bento

I wanted IT to learn the piano a few years back, we were staying near my mum then, my old piano was over there, which means we do not have to spend on getting an instrument. He was not interested and insisted on learning the violin. And so, I agreed. He is still learning the violin today and will be going for his Grade 3 exam next month. :)

And when it was LT's turn, I told him to just learn the violin, since IT can guide him and we already have a good violin teacher. But he said he wants to learn the piano instead. Lol, so we moved my old piano over from my mum's place, and he just started a couple of lessons.

I made a piano bento for them today. That reminds me that I've never made a violin bento, will have to do that soon. :)


Rilakkuma and Kiiroitori playing the piano. Rilakkuma is made from sausage and Kiiroitori is quail egg dyed in tumeric. Took me longer than I expected. -_- I did the one on the right first, ran out of time, so did away with the extra details for the one on the left.


This was lunch, rice with chicken karaage, veggie pancakes, golden kiwis and strawberries.


Then, I decided to do a bigger piano, so it's easier to cut, lol.


Piano is made out of seaweed and cheese and put on top of the sandwich. Other food are chicken karaage and grapes.


My almost 30 year old piano, it's still in very good condition, only needed some tuning and minor repairs. :) No, I can't really play the piano, I stopped after grade 3. My teacher was leaving for overseas studies, so I just conveniently told my mum I wanted to stop, because I hated all the practicing then. And this has always been a regret, wished I had carried on. So, it's my wish the boys can at least master one instrument. For now, I'm having fun playing with LT's beginner book, lol.


Korean seafood pancakes and greens for dinner last night.
