Finally solved. :D Here is the snippets to load latest 5 projects child.

{% set page = get('/projects') %}
    {% for child in slice (page.children|reverse, 0,5) %}
      <li class="col seven {{ child.id }}">
        <p class="date col one">{{ child.date | date("Y, M-") }}</p>
        <h2 class="col five">
          {% if child.thumb %}
            <img src="{{ child.thumb.url }}" width="{{ child.thumb.width }}" height="{{ child.thumb.height }}" class="project-thumb" alt="">
          {% endif %}
          <a href="{{ child.url }}">{{ child.title }}</a>
        </h2>
      </li>
    {% endfor %}

Hey, don't forget to isolate the "set page" by wrapping your code in a block. It can really be confusing if the code/variables that come after "set page" on a document suddenly changes context. Like if your page.title in your footer suddenly changes completely because your context is now "/projects".

For example:

{% block get_projects_block %}
    {% set page = get('/projects') %}
    stuff here
{% endblock %}

And remember if you are using more than one "set page" on your document, create a unique name for each block so you don't get conflicting contexts, like so:

{% block get_blog_block %}
    {% set page = get('/blog') %}
    stuff here
{% endblock %}

In other words, dont set two blocks with identical names on a page, and use underscores not dashes in the block names if you have to, otherwise it won't work.
