Hannah: “Dah DAAAAAHHHH Di!”

Posted on 17 Jan 201019 Jan 2010   by CY

And Ling’s not thrilled! No kidding – Hannah has learned to call Daddy first before Mommy LOL. Not that her diction’s perfect yet though, but it sure is sounding really close. She won’t say the words on demand too regardless

Morning Routine – Changes

Posted on 13 Jan 201023 Jan 2010   by CY

It’s been nearly a year since I last wrote about morning routines. A year ago – when Ling was still pregnant with Hannah – I’d be up at 0430 every morning, and we’d both be out of the house at

Time to Move House

Posted on 11 Jan 201014 Jul 2018   by CY

Virtually, that is. The chekyang.com domain has been around for more than a decade now. The first host provider I used was Hostway: pretty good service though subscription plans for a while were relatively expensive. I did a domain shift

Posted on 8 Jan 20101 Feb 2010   by Ling

I mentioned earlier that I was not a fan of avocados. Well, I’m a convert now! :D I had this $1.75 organic avocado bought from NTUC just before it was time to start Hannah on solid food. It was green

Computer Assembly – Part 2

Posted on 4 Jan 201023 Jan 2010   by CY
