Bigger than normal

Mum made me a very hearty breakfast today. The sandwich was soOOOo big that i could hardly take a bite without having something falling out from the middle ^^ it kinda reminded me of my homemade lunch back in high school...


Mum's creativity

~ 0riental plain bun + western fillings

When we were in high school, mum always made us lunch to bring because school there stretched from 9am to 330pm. It's very common for students to do that over there. At lunch time, we students would sit in groups ~ under the tree, under the sun, on the benches, outside classrooms, at the staircase, outside the toilets, basically anywhere (except places with tables :P) having our lunches.


We liked to take a peep of what people ate. One of our gangs ate banana everyday and she always took half an hour to finish. And because of that, she earned her nickname Banana Queen hehe... Another friend only ate apple because she said she wanna go on diet. I thought that was very torturing. The word 'diet' didn't exist in my life back then. Another friend brought bread with jam everyday because that's all she had time to prepare. The rest, I don't remember what they brought. Some just grabbed from the canteen.


Jane and I are the lucky ones for we have mum at home! she always made us super yummy lunch. And super big too! Our friends were always amazed at the size. The sushi ROLLs mum made were always gigantic. So full of ingredients that one bite of it would push all other ingredients out from the other end. But we were trained to handle it. And the sandwiches mum made were 3 storey high! OK, i exaggerated but it was 3 layers sandwiches - meat on level 1, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, beet root, sprouts on level 2 and one fried egg on level 3. Now u know why i eat more than the average people. I was trained from young! haha....

I totally love today's sandwich. It really reminded me of the good old days. Our homepacked lunches were always bursting, not just with ingredients but also mum's love ^V^
