Did I say that if you’re deciding between nanny-care and infant care for your baby you should try to opt for the former? Unless the infant care centre has a ridiculously low ratio of infants to teachers and a huge well-ventilated

Lumix 20mm f1.7

Posted on 30 Jul 20113 Apr 2018   by CY

Of the whole range of micro four-thirds lenses in the enthusiast range, there’s one lens that keeps coming up as a must-have for any user of a m4/3 camera; and it’s the Panasonic Lumix 20mm f1.7. The lens is compact,

Love and Other Drugs

Posted on 29 Jul 201114 Mar 2018   by CY

Love and Other Drugs (2010) – on rental. By coincidence, this was the second of two rented films I’ve watched in this month about relationships centered on casual sex. Like the earlier film – No Strings Attached – Love and

Green Lantern

Posted on 28 Jul 201114 Mar 2018   by CY

Green Lantern (2011) – AMK Hub. Of the whole bunch of super heroes from DC Comics’ repertoire, I’ve always felt that the Green Lanterns would had been the hardest to translate into a live motion picture adaptation. Unlike the Batman

Brasshh teee…rinn ah…

Posted on 28 Jul 201128 Jul 2011   by Ling

Since the time we incorporated oral hygiene into her bedtime routine, Hannah has gotten used to the idea of sticking her toothbrush (coated with a tiny amount of sweet toothpaste) into her mouth, to mimicking mommy in brushing her teeth (barely!), and

Space Battleship Yamato

Posted on 27 Jul 201114 Mar 2018   by CY

Space Battleship Yamato (2010) – on rental. While Michael Bay’s film versions of Transformers have gone from so-so to awful, my basis for comparison laid in watching those films as they were. I didn’t grow up on the Transformers cartoons.

Re-entering the Kitchen: Red Bean Delight

Posted on 26 Jul 2011   by Ling

Next to soy beans, red bean (aka azuki bean) is probably the second most popular legume in Japan. Just look at the amount of delicacies involving red beans and how exquisitely tasty the Japanese has made them. Yang likes BreadTalk’s

The Adjustment Bureau

Posted on 26 Jul 201114 Mar 2018   by CY

The Adjustment Bureau (2010) – on rental. The late American author Philip K. Dick has churned out a large number of short sci-fi stories, many of which are invariably about the juxtapositions of time, space and destiny. Several of these

Posted on 25 Jul 20113 Apr 2018   by CY

Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Posted on 25 Jul 201114 Mar 2018   by CY

Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) – AMK Hub. The Internet Critics haven’t been kind on Michael Bay’s Transformers 3. It’s been almost universally panned to be an incoherent mess. The funniest thing though is that my 11 year old

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

Posted on 25 Jul 201114 Mar 2018   by CY

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011) – Cathay @ AMK Hub. I haven’t been writing much about films on our blog – and that’s not because we haven’t been watching any. On the contrary, we’ve been hitting

This is my first successful chocolate cake! I made some mistakes during baking but this recipe was so forgiving that the cake turned out yummy still. :) There are a good number of blogs that shared this wonderful recipe. One
