Month: April 2010

Wet Weather Program

Posted on 21 Apr 201021 Apr 2010   by CY

After the month of terrifically warm weather for February and March, that we’ve been seeing heavy rain on several days has been a welcome relief! The rainfall though typically isn’t sustained for longer than half of an hour each time

Much Ado About iPhones

Posted on 21 Apr 201016 Jul 2024   by CY

The Internet-tech world is abuzz with the iPhone 4G Loser controversy right now – which really is more the irony that the news sort of replaces the screaming headline news of the recently released iPads earlier this month, and how

From Infant Care to Nannies

Posted on 20 Apr 201020 Apr 2010   by CY

Hannah was pulling another fever-level temperature on Sunday evening of about 38.5°C which got the both of us both worried and resigned to that despite our best efforts, our little girl still wasn’t recovering. She’d been going through a string

Hannah on Vimeo

Posted on 19 Apr 201019 Apr 2010   by CY

I signed up for a Vimeo account yesterday to see how well it streams HD videos. Here’s a sample, taken on the new TM700 camcorder too of Hannah having lunch yesterday afternoon: The free version of the service that I’m

Hannah on the Couch

Posted on 18 Apr 201018 Apr 2010   by CY

One of the first videos taken of Hannah using the new TM700. This was at about dinner time, indoors and lighting wasn’t so great (a huge thunderstorm just ended, and there was a fierce overcast). It’s not really a great

Panasonic HDC-TM700 – Part 1

Posted on 18 Apr 201029 Nov 2010   by CY

I did a lot of reading on the replacement HDCamcorder I posted about the other week, and opinion sure is divided over two leading models: between the model I’ve been eyeing – the Panasonic HDC-TM700 – and its closest competitor,

“Knock knock”

Posted on 15 Apr 201018 Apr 2010   by CY

It’s not all gloom and misery at home though. Despite that all three of us are sick at home, there’re still many of the usual baby happy and bonding moments we continue to enjoy with Hannah. For instance, Ling observed

The sick and flu-lish

Posted on 14 Apr 201014 Apr 2010   by Ling

It has been two weeks and I’m still not recovered from this flu bug ravaging in me. I believe I got it from Hannah (from finishing the leftovers of her food). Then I passed it on to Yang when we

“What the Frak…?!”

Posted on 13 Apr 201013 Apr 2010   by CY

No no – no vulgarity intended! :) ‘Frak’ is a substitute swear word that’s used extensively in the now-concluded Battlestar Galactica TV series. I’ve blogged about the series here before – it remains the most powerful sci-fiction drama series I’ve

Integrity, Manipulation and Ethics

Posted on 12 Apr 201012 Apr 2010   by CY

There’s an interesting debate running online about the use of a new controversial feature in the upcoming Adobe Photoshop CS5. Specifically, the “Content-Aware Fill” feature that will apparently allow manipulation of specific parts of an image with ease. Just to

My Sister’s Keeper

Posted on 11 Apr 201014 Mar 2018   by CY

My Sister’s Keeper (2009) – on rental. The other film to arrive alongside Hachiko: A Dog’s Story was My Sister’s Keeper. I was only vaguely aware of this adaption of a book of the same title on account that during

Hachiko: A Dog’s Story

Posted on 11 Apr 201014 Mar 2018   by CY

Hachiko: A Dog’s Story (2009) – on rental. Maybe it was because I was still feeling ill yesterday Saturday afternoon when I gave this supposed cry-fest of a film a go. Long story short, I thought the film really wasn’t
