Just a short post to tell you that Kz had his year end class party last Friday, and I made potato and egg salad with cherry tomatoes. I know (most) kids don't like tomatoes, but I thought a little red would look really nice on top of the plain salad.
I also prepared some goodies for the teachers. I packed a lolli-towel and heart-shaped soaps with a small sweet note inside. The lolli-towels are actually face towel wrapped in the shape of a lollipop. I bought them at a (wedding) favour shop.
Ta-daa, the goody bags for teachers.
Ok, bye!
Good morning Princess Ribbon, seeing the potato and egg salad makes me think of making it, hehe...
ReplyDeleteThe potato and egg salad is very simple to make, that's why I choose to make it.. Rather than making sandwiches (have to cut in triangular shape), or baking cupcakes, etc..
DeleteI can just like that put the tomatoes into my mouth and eat, hehe...
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I also always buy a pack of cherry tomatoes, and pop them into my mouth like eating grapes!
DeleteThey wrap into lollipop and it's so cute...
ReplyDeleteYep, they are so sweet and cute and attractive, I hope the teachers like them.
DeleteWow ur so generous! The teachers will definitely be touched.
ReplyDeletehehe, just for fun, plus I love doing all these sweet stuffs :)
Deletewow..very impressive! The teachers must be so happy..
ReplyDeleteI hope they like it :)
Deletewah ho yau sum wor...sure teachers love it
ReplyDeleteI only pack goodie bags for teachers, none for the kids, haha..
DeleteYou are so kind and generous to put thoughts to make the teachers happy. Big merits coming your way.
ReplyDeleteI like the brown bags, so eco-friendly!
Wah, so nice to hear, I like it, yep, I hope big merits are coming my way too, I need it, huhuhu...
DeleteWah, mummy very 'yao sam kei'! Nice!!
ReplyDeleteJust for fun, and the lolli-towels are really cute, I also feel nice, so just do it lor.. Doesn't cost much..
DeleteOooo...lovely towels! Wahhhhh!!!! Lucky teachers. So nice to teach kids of mums like you.
ReplyDeleteThank you.. Yeah, they look so cute and unique, and they are not expensive, so I just do it lor :)
Deleteschool holidays jor!! I think many parents are getting more busy huh?? right before the holidays got concert lah, got party lah, go to school to collect report cards lah, teachers want to see the parents lah.. and then during school holidays, bring the kids for vacations lah, send the kids here and there for activities and outings lah.. and then towards the end of holidays, gotta prepare them for the new academic year, but this buy that.. wah, parents really "mmm yi joe" (not easy to be)..
ReplyDeleteYou are so right.. Before the holidays, yep, concert, class party and report card day.. During the holidays, I'm still ok kua, coz they are still small, so didn't plan any holiday camp or activities for them lor..
Deletewhen I was still studying many decades ago, I super love school holidays lor.. haha, actually which student doesn't like school holidays lah, right?? before school holidays of course got exam and gotta study till late night everyday (I am those type who study only a day before exam).. but after exam sure like "fong gam" (release from prison) lah, last day of school before holidays is the best lor, cos of the class party, no need to study but just go back to school to party and makan and play games!! so fun lor, and then like a pot luck party everyone bring something from home.. I like lor~~
ReplyDeleteWhich child doesn't like school holidays geh, right.. But Kz still goes to the daycare everyday.. Same place, just that he doesn't need to wear school uniform, and there are no lessons.. Just some light artwork and play all day I guess..
Deletethen those party hor, I always very "seh gueh" (snake) one lor.. if volunteer type then I won't bother to bring anything, if compulsory then I'll just bring simple things like agar-agar ah or those packet snacks, don't need to be too troublesome lor, you agree with me?? hahaha!!
ReplyDeleteSame here, I chose to make potato & egg salad coz I can make everything in advance and chuck them inside the fridge.. No need to purposely wakeup and make ma.. And yes, I'm thinking of packet snacks next year, hehe..
DeleteHi Louiz! I super love potato and egg salad. I can just scoop and eat like that. Those lolli-towels are so pretty. I have never seen them before. The teachers must be delighted with your goodie bags!
ReplyDeleteYep, I was also attracted by the lolli-towels, and they are not expensive, so I just bought lor.. Very unique hor.. Sweet and pretty too :)
DeleteReminds me of my own year end class party! My mom always make egg sandwich for me to bring, same thing every year! She used butter and lots of pepper to mix the smashed up egg together instead of mayo, and us kids love it!
ReplyDeleteThe teachers will be syok to receive goodie bags! Hopefully they will treat your Kz well next year :D
I usually mash eggs with butter, mayo and pepper together.. Hmm, after reading your comment, I will try with just butter and pepper.. I also don't like to use too much mayo, it makes the bread soggy..
DeleteSo sai sum of you, Louiz... The teachers will be very touched....
ReplyDeleteHehe, I also wana "angkat" those teachers a bit also geh.. Kz very naughty also in school leh..
Deletebut I think nowadays the kids all very blessed lor.. the mothers all very happy and willing to make all kinds of food to bring to school.. see, even you also can do egg salad with tomatoes, so other mothers sure can do something (muahahaha!!).. and I guess there are a lot of cupcakes or muffins for sure.. :D
ReplyDeleteThere were SO MUCH food that day, too many types to start with.. Imagine one kid brings something.. So a class of 20 kids how? Exploded liao lor with food !! But not all bring cooked food like mihun, rice, sandwiches or salad.. Most of them I think brought packet snacks and sweets..
Deleteand now horr, teachers all so "hou meng" leh always can get gifts from students or parents lor.. last time where got?? if teachers no need to fork out money from their own pocket to buy things for the students already "steal laugh" jor lah.. you see, you go and buy those heart towels and whatnots for them, there also like RM100 lah then the effort and time to go and think, hunt, buy and do leh..
ReplyDeleteYeah you are right! Lastime, where got "hing" goody bags or give gifts to teachers one? Maybe just one or two, for the form teacher and favourite teacher, but not to the ENTIRE school punyer teachers kua, kan?
Deleteis good to be teacher...hehe coz got parents giving them gifts! if every parent do the same, the teacher will be pampered so much with year end gifts! lol! oh, not to forget, teachers's day gift too!
ReplyDeleteYeah, one year do twice.. Teachers' Day and also year-end class party.. But it also depends whether or not you want to do it or not also la.. But if do one time liao, there will be expectation I guess..
DeleteLovely gifts for the teachers. A very thoughtful gifts.
ReplyDeleteYup, most kids do not like tomatoes but how come they love to bite the red cherries on birthday?? Sweeter maybe. But tomato cherries are mostly sweeter and taste better than the normal tomatoes.
Yeah, I was thinking the same too.. Maybe the cherry on the cake looks more pretty and attractive? Coz it's on a cake, and all kids love cake.. Haha..
DeleteSo sweet of you to give gifts to all the teachers. I am sure they like it as you gave some useful things. Did the children finish all the salad?
ReplyDeleteI don't think they could finish all the food, kids just want to play, and eat candies, haha.. I think most of the cooked food like bihun, salad, fried rice, sausages, what-not all packed home by the teachers, teehee..
DeleteNice and well done! The lolli towel looks so nice and sweet!
ReplyDeleteYep, I myself also love those lolli-towels..
DeleteYeah, the red provides a very nice contrast, otherwise the egg salad would look monotone.
ReplyDeleteI like having tomatoes though, it provides a nice acidic burst, although I know I didn't like them as a kid. Haha.
Wow! Towel lollipops! I've never seen those before...do you drop them into a bucket of water so it becomes full size e.g. like the t-shirts they sell that's the size of a coin but expands to a medium.
I didn't open up the packaging and tried it on water, hehe.. I bought ngam-ngam for the teachers, maybe 1 or 2 extra, just in case.. So I didn't open up and use one for myself :)
DeleteHaha! No worries!
DeleteI was just wondering coz I got a tshirt like that before - it was a souvenir and it was amazing to me at the time coz it expand maybe 40 times the original size! :)
Wow, Louiz!
ReplyDeleteYou have put in lots of efforts to make these gifts and food. You are so sweet and thoughtful!!!
Kz and his friends and teachers must be happy to see these yummy food and great gifts.
Zoe
Thanks dear.. Yeah, I also love to do all these sweet stuffs.. The lolli towels are really cute, I love it, so I decided to give to teachers lor.. They are not expensive, just facial hanky, haha..
DeleteThe salad looks so yummy, even like simple food also seems like very delicious to me, hehe!!
ReplyDeleteTeachers nowadays really very "hou meng", I remember last time my mom or either I don't even make any gift for teachers, and also not in the teacher's day, hahaha!!
You asked Kz to color the dog on the goodies bag, right?? Looks like colored by pencil color to me!!
Yeah, clever girl, Kz coloured the dinosaurs with crayons by himself :)
DeleteIs it? Most kids don't like tomatoes? Maybe you should replace that with strawberries! Haha!
ReplyDeleteStrawberries on potatoes and eggs? Ngam mou? Scared the kids don't eat and last last all the teachers sapu, wakakakakaka..
DeleteWah! So nice! Got goodie bags for teachers?
ReplyDeleteYep, goodie bags for teachers, not for the kids.. Kids no need la, hehehehe..
DeletePrincess, you are one sweet parent! Bet the teachers love you to bits!
