Hannah @ 30mm – Part 5

Posted on 27 Nov 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

We celebrated our 6th Wedding Anniversary on Sunday with High Tea at the Carousel @ Royal Plaza on Scotts. Ling has been raving about the place since a visit with colleagues there earlier this year. Prices were about reasonable for

Paging for Ang Mo!

Posted on 16 Nov 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

Ling is right smack in her first month pregnancy blues, what with round the clock bouts of nausea (she’s BTW glad that I can do most of Hannah’s chores including feeding and bathing, except for brushing teeth that I still

Conversations with a Three Year Old – 1

Posted on 14 Nov 201214 Feb 2013   by CY

We had a delightful albeit lazy holiday-day with Hannah yesterday. I’m still especially surprised at how fast she’s able to put things together, and better able to hold conversations and ‘negotiate’ with us. For example, after waking her up yesterday

Posted on 9 Nov 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

Posted on 5 Nov 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

More Hannah photos taken in the last fortnight with the Sigma 30mm! Developmental notes: we’ve noticed that Hannah isn’t naturally inclined towards getting into tantrums, and standoffs between her and us for the last 6 months now seem few and

Hannah and Concerts

Posted on 1 Nov 20121 Nov 2012   by Ling

I remember clearly when Hannah had her first performance at her playgroup at the age of two and a half years old. It was DISASTROUS. I went there armed with cameras to record the special occasion but ended up with
