Little Gabriel, well, still walks like a blind bat. But now, he is able to walk up stairs and down, though you need to help him by holding his hands coz his knees are still not quite strong to do it on his own.
And for sometime, Terry has been teaching him to jump...and yup it`s quite a funnt sight, but well he does sorta get it in a clumsy funny way....enjoy

Too Much!
November has not been very kind to us at all. It`s the kind of month you wanna forget.
Lucas has been so so hard to manage both awake and asleep, and it`s all because of his teething. Few months back since he was 5 months old, i kept checking every now and then whether he had any teeth coming out. Nope, none. Then wham...November starts and the boy is in great pain and drooling like a fountain.
He had not 1 but 4 teeth coming out that i could see. Poor boy no wonder he was so miserable. At nights he would toss and turn n wake so often, i was totally exhausted. And the inevitable happened, Yup, i got sick. And it`s no joke when i get sick coz mine lasts for a month. Yup, another miserable person. Then Gabe got it n subsequently Lucas too....So, we were all miserable.
And then, to top it off, Lucas was going thru a major milestone..walking...he could already stand firmly so i was just waiting for his to take his first step. And now, as of today, the boy can walk like up to 8 steps. So proud of him..yes of coz this part is the good stuff....but then again, they say once babies walk, TROUBLE looms ahead.
So as of end November, my baby can walk, clap hands, say papapapap, wave bye bye, `love` his pooh bear when u ask him too, and knows how to search for stuffs eg phone, pooh bear, bolster when u ask him to.
And here he is, walking...

Okinawa OCtober 2014
Beautiful Okinawa has been on my list of to-go-beaches for sometime. I love the beach. And yes Okinawa is beautiful..truly..but we went perhaps too late in the year to enjoy a full-on dosage of sunshine. Hence, the beach water was a tad bit too chilly to swim, so we only dipped. Lucas was really hesitant at first, but i insisted we stay in the waters abit and about 15minutes later, he got his hands into the waters and started splashing...and yup, he loved it...Gabe was clinging onto Daddy for dear life.
We only stayed at the beach for like 40minutes and decided it was just too chilly, went to the hotel`s pool which was also damned chilly...sigh...next time I`m going in July. We stayed at Marriot, which was nice, my only wish was that it was located right on the beach, not a shuttle bus ride away. The room was huge and beautiful, with a fantastic view of the sea..oh how i miss it. Most of our meals were spent outside except for breakfast.
The boys were mainly well behaved, Gabe was like super happy mostly. And we went to the famous aquarium too and Gabe loved looking at all the fishes. Even Lucas was curious.
I think overall it was a good trip, next round we`ll go to the smaller islands where the waters are even clearer...

Daddy Turns 37
This year we made an effort to celebrate Daddy`s birthday...Puleaseee....I`m not a cruel wife, it@s just that Terry isn`t a huge fan of celebrations, trust me. Anyway, i decided we`d surprise him by going to his office. So I contacted Uncle David who agreed to make sure he was in the office at 5.30pm.
So, we happily picked Gabe up from school at 2.30pm, got home to put all the bags and get ready, then rushed to Tokyu to get a birthday cake. Let me tell you, it`s scary lugging 2 kids to the supermarket coz they tend to get all squirmy and whiny when they realise it`s the supermarket. So i carried Lucas in my carrier, then carried Gabe till we got a cart and put Gabe in it. And worse stil, Gabe is at that point where he is reluctant to sit in anything eg high chair, stroller, carseat...so yup whines...anyway i quickly made a dash to the cake shop, bought the cake, and out we went. Strapped both kids in the car and pray hard that they fall aslee, otherwise they are gonna be all cranky by 5pm.
Yup, we made it to Daddy`s office and unfortunately he was downstairs, so sneaking to the upper level kitchen was hard and he noticed us...sigh....well, he was surprised...
Anyways, we had yummy strawberry cake and boy did Gabe enjoy his share.
So we hope Daddy was happy with this surprise!!
