After a storm

Posted on 13 Aug 20095 Apr 2010   by CY

One thing that’s changing around The Rivervale is that Hannah’s pair of lungs are getting, well, healthier by the day! Right after birth, when she was in one of her moods, all that we’d typically hear would be whimpers. These

Upcoming films

Posted on 13 Aug 2009   by CY

Watching films at the theatre is harder these days now that Hannah’s around, and yeah no – watching films alone isn’t an option for me. Ling gives me dagger looks if I even broach the idea! Typically, our arrangement though

Slumber

Posted on 12 Aug 2009   by Ling

My sleep pattern is largely determined by Hannah since the day she arrived. In the first month, I was extremely sleep-deprived. Hannah required breast-feeding round the clock, every 2-3 hours, every feed lasting an hour. Take away meal times and

San Francisco Videos – Golden Gate Bridge

Posted on 12 Aug 20095 Apr 2010   by CY

It sure was hard juggling between the D300 and the Panasonic HD Cam while trying to hold myself steady during the chopping cruise ride at San Francisco bay. But I managed to get a bit of video footage. Pardon the

G. I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

G. I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) – at AMK Hub. Mum invited us over for dinner on the National Holiday holiday, so we took the opportunity to catch G. I. Joe on Monday afternoon as well after leaving

San Francisco Videos – Transportation

Posted on 11 Aug 20095 Apr 2010   by CY

A short video segment of transportation in the city. This one was taken while the tram was traveling along Market Street on my way back from Pier 39 one afternoon.

Men and their bags

Posted on 10 Aug 200914 Jan 2010   by CY

Women have their fascination with the Chanel and Gucci bags; men who’re photography enthusiasts have the same with their camera bags LOL. There’s actually a web site that’s about the epitome of this love, and simultaneously serving also as a

More Hannah photos

Posted on 9 Aug 2009   by CY

We didn’t watch NDP on the TV – Hannah wanted her dinner. So I occupied myself taking more pictures – but this time with the Nikon 50mm f1.8D lens. This is the cheapest lens in Nikon’s line up, but is

Hannah on ND

Posted on 9 Aug 2009   by CY

The weather looked better on National Day, so we planned to head to Punggol Park to take some family photographs. We had everything nailed down pat – timing, equipment and baby things to bring along. Unfortunately, the most important subject

San Francisco Videos – Palace of Fine Arts

Posted on 9 Aug 20095 Apr 2010   by CY

The Palace of Fine Arts is one of the iconic spots in San Francisco, even if it’s less well-known or visited than say the Golden Gate Bridge. The dome, adjacent lagoon and park has been used as a backdrop in

Feeding, Burping, Reading

Posted on 8 Aug 2009   by CY

Ling has a established pattern when it comes to Hannah’s meal times: it’s feeding, then burping, then reading. I’ve been wanting to try out the Sigma 24-60 mm F2.8 EX DG lens too that I bought last year but haven’t

Sigma 18-250mm

Posted on 8 Aug 2009   by CY

So, after giving it a lot of hard thought, I decided a fortnight ago to get an all-in-one travel lens that would give me a bit more reach beyond 55mm, and which I hope will see extensive use when I’m
