Gabriel is 3



Gabriel is 3 and this year we only invited closed friends and relatives (Am happy all of them took time to come and a great thanks to them)

Although its a smaller scale party, somehow I put in more effort and time into some simple DIY and on decorations etc

We also managed to get a jake pirate cake for Gabriel and sneak in a ninja turtle jelly cake!! 



Food wise we got it from our usual Meihao 99 , this round we took up mini buffet as we only had appx 20pax


Balloons wise we DIY some latex balloons and for Mylar, I went to The Central to get the jake and the pirate balloons and and grateful to the staff at the party stuff for going extra miles to help transfer the jake pirate balloons which was oos at their branch! Thumbs up and here is there online website http://www.thepartystuff.com.sg



Managed to complete the birthday banner, 
pirate hat, customized wrapper for kit kat, 
Customized food label and am feeling good!





Oh ya! This year we also get a helium tank from 
Spotlight and inflate the balloons ourselves (I guess
I prefer to have delivery of balloons)



Thanks to all for the presents and red packet!!




Thanks to all for attending :)

Twin cities!

Gabriel always called it "twin teddies"

A robot from real steel world which both kids love to play from iPad apps

Exercise after donkey years

Been putting off exercising since ages and not easy to kick start again as I always relied on meal replacement and supplements

But guess its time to start on exercising to have a healthier lifestyle and of coz a better number in the weighing scale!!!!

Started on 20-jan-14, I ran 3KM(10 rounds of 300M), 4 days a week

Then just on Monday 27-jan, ran appx 2.2 Km

加油加油!!!




Here comes the 2nd jog of this week!

Gabriel grown up liao!!!

He seems to be like a baby before going to Pre-nursery 

Cries for 3 weeks and on 21-Jan-14, Tuesday, our helper SMS me to inform that Gabriel is not crying finally.....

Thereafter we started to notice changes here and there .... From being able to sing parts of national anthem, to more songs and also at times, sit down calmly like an adult.......

Then on his actual day birthday , where we bring the kids to Go go bambini, he told me not to follow him around the playground.... To "get off and don't follow didi" and told me 我长大了.......

But he keep following his role model Raphael kor kor around in the playground


Wow!!! So turning 3 can actually change a kids mentality wor!
