Wow, just when we finally got over our jetlag, we’ve got to head back to Dallas. We had a really busy time with all our grandparents, uncles, aunties, and cousins!!! We need to spend a little more time here!
I think the best part of this trip was hanging out with Kongkong, Mama, Yeye, and Popo!
Ok! Someone forgot to wake us up for this !! >(
Apparently, EVERYONE except Christian and me went to a New Year’s Eve party. And I’ve got pictures to prove it!
Looking after us must be real tough coz Mommy & Daddy took a little getaway while Caitlin and I stayed at Kong Kong & Mama’s place.
It looked like a real nice place and I guess it was an old colonial building from world war 2… definitely before we were born.
And of course, everything needs to be capped off with a Ferrari 599 GTB, the highest performace 12-cylinder berlinetta ever produced at Maranello… 
(what!? I’m a boy, I ought to know these things!). *sigh* unfortunately, the closest Mommy & Daddy got was to park next to it… oh well!
We finally made it to Singapore for two weeks to visit. It was a really rushed trip coz it was so quick and not like our normal two month stay. We were in and out just like THAT!
Here’re some pictures that we took while we were at Sentosa, this island off Singapore. Caitlin squished the snake’s tail…
After that we went to Underwater World. We got on a travellator and snaked around some awesome underwater glass tunnels… It was fantastic!!
And then after all that, we went to the beach and built some sandcastles! 
We caught a big jet to New York City on Thanksgiving day and then we picked up Aunty Maiko, Sean, and Hanna and then we all drove up to Boston to have Thanksgiving dinner with the Vargas’! It was alot of fun coz we got to stay up late. Real late! I mean, like reaaallly late, like midnight!!!
We drove back down to NYC where we stayed at Sesame Street!!!! We met Elmo, Bert, Ernie, and a bunch of others but I didn’t get to see Big Bird though…
And thanks for letting me sign off on your wall, Aunty Maiko!!
We all went to the water park this Halloween weekend with my BFF, Avyln, and her mommy & daddy. It was a real HUGE indoor water park and we stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights! We went swimming and sliding everyday and the best part was that we could camp in our rooms! Oh, and we ate and ate and ate coz we were always so hungry from being in the water!
We also had a Halloween party there too! I was a fairy, Avlyn was a mermaid, and Christian was a lil’ lion! There was music and dancing and Avlyn and I boogied the night away!!
We got fish after lunch today. No, not fish & chips silly, that was for lunch!
Caitlin helped daddy put in the rocks and plants while Mommy filmed the whole thing as Daddy poured the fish in. I helped by not getting in the way and tipping the tank over. 
We got 14 fish altogether! 2 fighting fish, 1 window cleaner fish, 4 booyadayaa fish, and 7 lil’ joojoobooboo fish.
We put the tank outside our room so each night before we go to bed, we go and say “gnite lil fishies” and turn off the tank lamp. And in the morning, we’ll wake them and feed them before heading to school. Well, that’s the plan so far.
Mommy! Daddy! 
We 
need 
a 
TRAMPOLINE!!! 
Besides going cave exploring, we also spent a day at the beach. Fun in the sun!! Pepper also came along for this road trip but he didn’t like the sand much so he stayed in the car most of the time. We picked live shells with lil’ hermit crabs in them, periwinkles, and lil’ fish at the tide pool. And we also built sand castles and ehm… sand hills, sandwiches, and all!
Daddy was taking all the pics that day so that’s why you don’t see him anywhere. Maybe one day mommy will help take some too! (ok, so daddy made me type that)
Since I’m quite a few years to becoming Lara Croft, I’ve resigned myself to my next most favorite adventurer – Dora the Explorer!!
We all drove down to San Antonio and explored the natural limestone caves!! It went really deep underground to about 200 feet! I told daddy that I was scared so he hung onto my hand real tight while Mommy was hugging Christian. But Daddy said I was a real trooper coz I walked the entire one mile through the entire journey! down steep slopes and all too!!
But first we went treasure hunting!! Well, actually we panned for precious stones. I got some real pretty gems too!!
I’m on the fast-track to college so I packed my lil’ suitcase and got ready to catch a train to college! Had to stop to grab a quick bite to eat from Caitlin with a cart full of real groceries first!
We just had to bring aunty Maiko to the Dallas Arboretum! So we packed a picnic mat and a bunch of goodies that mommy and her prepared and we spent a morning there! This time was even more fun coz Christian could actually run around now and be my mobile partner in crime!
I finally got to do some real baking with Auntie Maiko….I had a great time…
!!!Tah Dah!!!!
Happy Birthday Mommeeee!!!
We’ve been trying to be good ALLL day today and it was really really really… REALLY tough!
But I think Christian and I made it through the day without opening any bottles of paint and coloring the walls, carpets, windows, dog; taking out any perfumes, tearing any papers, throwing food at each other, pooping in the bath, and spitting up. Thank goodness your birthday only comes once a year coz this was really tiring! We love you Mommy!!
Went to the park this morning after waking Mommy and Daddy up. It’s been almost 3 month hiatus. It looks brand new all over again!!We need to take vacations to Singapore more often!
We went to a house warming party today at Skylar’s place. He has a lot of cool toys and we sure made it a point to mess everything up. His parents also have a very nice luxurious cream-colored couch. They looked really nervous all night though…
We all had breakfast at Uncle Kin San and Aunty France’s place this morning. Tasty pastries and all the yummy Singaporean foods! Mmmmmm. Then we vegetated and hung around and tried not to get in trouble. I saw a water beetle for the first time too! Actually I think it was a normal beetle, just wet.
And this is my favorite! The Beatles’ Abbey Road walk with Uncle Kin San, which incidentally we’re a few weeks shy of the 40th year anniversary on Aug 8!
