Happy Monday to everyone (you are right, I should have posted this yesterday but I missed it)!
To start off the week, I would like to announce another exciting giveaway going on together with the 1st Anniversary Giveaway! This giveaway is sponsored by CSN Store. I was contacted by a sale representative of the online store to host a giveaway, but one thing to take note – this giveaway is only for US and Canadian readers (How I wish it could be opened to all!). CSN Stores has over 200 online stores where you can find everything from a platform bed to fantastic fitness equipment to cookware! It is basically a one stop shop carrying over 1 million products and shopping online could not be more easy!
The prize for this giveaway is a $35 gift certificate from CSNStores.com and the winner will be picked randomly.
To join this giveaway, you can have up to two entries just by following the steps below:
1. Leave me a comment of your name & location and this will give you your first entry (make sure that you have a valid email when you post your comment so that you are contactable if you are the lucky one!)
2. Follow me on Facebook by clicking here or the badge on the home page, sign in to Facebook and click the ‘Like’ button on the fan page. Leave me a comment with your Facebook ID and this will give you a second entry.
The closing date of this giveaway will be on 29th October 2010, Friday midnight Malaysia time (GMT+8). CSN store will email you the gift certificate code once we have the winner.
All right, back to the topic. I was not feeling well since last night and had a very bad migraine this morning that I didn’t even manage to get myself up on time to prepare a nice bento for JY. Luckily last night we bought some cute donuts from Big Apple Donuts & Coffee and I just put two of these cute donaShi (that was how they named these adorable donuts decorated just like sushi) into the bento box. I added two dried prunes with the lovely animal food picks and took a photo of it. I managed to get all these done within 5 minutes right before JY’s school van arrived.
After sending JY off and dropping JQ to the babysitter’s place, I went to the clinic, took the medicine prescribed by the doctor and went back to sleep again. Thanks to the painkiller and a long uninterrupted sleep, I feel much better now. Just hope that the migraine won’t catch up on me again!
By the way, my kind neighbour (who made the cute bento bag for the 1st Anniversary Giveaway) gave us this plate of donaShi on Saturday.
Thank you S!
My boys loved them so much and that was why we ended up buying another box on Sunday night!
This was the box of donaShi that we bought. They are so adorable aren’t they?
Last but not least, don’t forget to join the fun of the 1st Anniversary and the CSN Store Giveaway side-by-side giveaways!
