Growing Up

Gabriel's adjusting nicely to his pre-nursery class. The both of them being in the same school does help a lot. It means a lot to Gabriel to know that his brother is around. He needed that bit more support to wake up in the morning, put on his uniform, wear his shoes and go to class. It definately helped that his bigger brother also did the same thing. He likes his teacher, Miss Ong. And would go to her when he gets to class.

Everyone at home has also noticed that he's talking more and interacting more. I think being in school has helped him a lot. He's still a bit shy but he is not as clingy as he was before.

Meanwhile, Bryan, the older brother is doing very well. The kindergarten has started giving him homework on weekends and spelling. They are slowly transitioning the students to primary one. Which is a good thing. It will be quite a big adjustment for Bryan in the 'big boys school'. But he should be fine.

Growing up, reaching more milestones. Sigh. As a mommy, I am both very proud of my boys. And yet a little sad that they are growing up so fast. I hope they never outgrow hugs and kisses from me.

New Year, New Layout

I've been so busy this month, I've hardly anytime to do any scrapping at all. With hubbie in hospital for his operation. And the kids starting school. Even at work, it's been busy. Everyone's catching the New Year Bug. So this is the first layout of the year. Using Webster's Pages Wonderfall collection and Prima's flowers/jewels/butterfly. I'm so behind, these photos were from October 2010. We were in the old cable car cabins. Brings me back to years ago, on my first cable car ride with my family. Now I'm bringing my boys for a cable car ride.

Playing Dressup

@ Vopak's Dinner & Dance held at the Sentosa Resorts World Compass Ballroom. Guess who we were! And we won 'Best Dressed Couple'. It was a lot of fun. (Photo taken by company photographer)

Very First Day of School

Gabriel started his first day of school on thursday. He had a good first day. He enjoyed himself and didn't cry at all. But his second day started off ok but later he decided that he wanted Mommy to be there with him and started whining. Haiz. I think he just has to get used to the teachers and he'll be ok.

New Year Photos

These were taken on the ship by the photographer. It was right after the New Year Eve's Dinner. I scanned the photos in. Would you believe they cost USD$19.95 each?

Cruise D6 - Back to Singapore

We got back in the morning but didn't have to leave until 9am so we had breakfast first. At home, Hubbie and I spent most of the afternoon editing the photos and uploading them onto Facebook. It was a lovely trip. Both relaxing and exciting at the same time. Bryan certainly enjoyed himself. Gabriel just tagged a long but he also had a lovely time with his brother.

Cruise D5 - Port Klang (KL)

In Port Klang, my father picked us up and we had Bah Kut Teh and Chendol. The kids had a nice time in the Butterfly Park in KL. It was nice to see him. Bryan missed his other grandfather.
