Baby Faces at 50mm – Part 1

Posted on 31 Jan 20101 Feb 2010   by CY

My first Nikon lens from 1985 was a 50mm f1.8. As those of us who’re amateurs in photography would know, this 50mm focal length lens is especially appropriate for portrait shots. While I did pick up my first zoom lens

With Matt coming to stay with us again next month in his third visit to Singapore, we’ve been chatting a lot about camera gear and equipment. He’s picked up a Nikon D90 and the 35mm f1.8 lens for this trip.

Morning Play

Posted on 30 Jan 201031 Jan 2010   by CY

Hannah’s like me not in just the physical resemblance; unlike her mommy, Hannah’s an early riser like daddy! She’ll frequently be up at 7 AM whether I wake her up or not. In fact, before infant care, that she was

Your money or my money?

Posted on 30 Jan 201026 Feb 2017   by CY

It wasn’t too long ago that a lawsuit here in Singapore caught the interest of many readers. That court case was in February last year and revolved around a woman’s suit against a Catholic Church here, claiming damages over an

Uptown Girls

Posted on 29 Jan 201014 Mar 2018   by CY

Uptown Girls (2003) – on rental. My interest in Brittany Murphy’s comedies and dramas got revived after watching Just Married the other day. The late actress was pretty productive with a long list of films, several of which I’ve queued

Feeding Time Pictures

Posted on 29 Jan 201030 Jan 2010   by CY

Hannah has come a long way by way of getting fed solids. When we first fed her solids 6 weeks ago, the experience was similar to rummaging through a dumpster… it was more a mess than nutrition! But the experience

The newest Apple toy to be revealed this morning must had been one of industry’s worst kept secrets. Funnily, when the specifications of the new tablet device was presented, it didn’t get the unanimous and unreserved approval online the company

Hannah @ Shabu-Shi Buffet

Posted on 28 Jan 20105 Apr 2010   by CY

We haven’t had a nice family dinner – not counting brunches at Swensen’s – for the three of us since the wedding anniversary last November. So, last night after work, we drove down to Hougang Mall to compensate. Most of

Baby at Play

We wanted to take more videos of Hannah crawling about in the living room, but apparently she was more interested in her toys! :)

Entrapment

Posted on 27 Jan 201014 Mar 2018   by CY

Entrapment (1999) – on rental. There aren’t a lot of Hollywood films that have large scenes shot in South-East Asia, with just a few I can think off my head: Anna and the King starring Jodie Foster and Chow Yuen-Fatt

The Hangover

Posted on 26 Jan 201014 Mar 2018   by CY

The Hangover (2009) – on rental. There were a couple of things during our wedding 3.5 years ago that I didn’t want to make a big deal of. One was that whole ‘buying of the bride’ that a lot of
