I can't wait
During lunch today...
Gaby : Mum, i can't wait to grow up and marry a wife.
Me : Oh, anyone in mind that you would like to marry?
Gaby : Yes, I think i would marry Charmine. But how do you know when its time to get married?
Me : You have to be sure that you love the girl a lot and you are ready to protect her and spend your life with her... and stay together.
Gaby : Then what about Charmine? Will she know it? She is still so young?
Me : Well, she has to be also ready... she has to love you and wants to stay with you as a family.
Gaby : Ok, I can't wait to grow up like you and I can't wait to get married...

Not late...just delayed
Gaby's first day of school was delayed till 18th Jan because there was a slight delay in the school premise renovation.
When we arrived in school, he was still quite happy but when we entered the classroom, he started to tear and didnt want to sit down at the desk. I tried to talk to him and assured him that it'll be a fun day in school. One of his classmates, Hari, came out of the classroom and tried to hold his hand and lead him back into the room again. How sweet of Hari! I remember that he used to be quite a naughty boy last year cos Gaby always come home telling me that Hari had gotten into trouble with so and so or Hari bullied so and so and was scolded by the teacher. Somehow, we managed to get him back into class.
All was well after that... Gaby was very chatty when he came home from school. During lunchtime, we talked about his morning in school and I asked him why he cried. He told me that he was worried that his classmates from last year will not be there so he cried. But when he went into class and found most of them still in the same class as him, he was very glad. And there is this girlfriend of his that was previously in N1 but disappeared from N2 came back and attend K1 with him this year. Think the girl's name is Charmine... He sat with her in class on the first day cos he thought she'll be scared being in his class again. And i think he still sits with her in class after the first day. The only thing that he was a little upset about was that Megan wsn't as friendly to him since school reopens. Told him that perhaps Megan needs more time to warm up to him after not seeing him for 2 months.

Memory... Video in the head
Last Monday I brought Gaby to the Hollywood Dinos Park at Jurong Bird Park. He enjoyed himself so much that he kept asking me to go bring him there again. Will see how la. If he behaves himself well then perhaps I will bring him there again before they are gone in Feb.
Anyway, there is this dinosaur that he likes a lot. But too bad, I didnt take any short video of it, only photos. So he has been asking me why I didnt do it. And now that he wants to look at it to remind him of how the dinosaur is, there isnt any. So I told him that there is a little camera in his mind that has already captured it. All he has to do is to close his eyes and think about it and he could see the dinosaur again. So he did it and he was very surprised and happy that he can see it! Then he started to ask me questions about this "camera"... how come it can be in his head?? So I told him that this is "memory". Whatever things that he saw or did, it'll be stored in his memory. And when he wants to see them again, he could just closed his eyes and think about them and he'll be able to see them.
So yesterday while we were on our way home from the carpark, Gaby suddenly told me that he could see Xiao Ah Yi (my younger sister). He had his eyes closed. He said that he misses her and so he closed his eyes and he saw her. I hope he put this to good use ie, for learning purpose.
