Month: May 2010

3 Weeks to 1

Posted on 18 May 201023 May 2010   by CY

Hannah’s first birthday is coming up very soon. As these things go in this part of the world, the first birthday requires a sort of celebration event with family, relatives and friends invited. I’m rarely at ease hosting any sort

Posted on 17 May 201023 May 2010   by CY

Since picking up the E-PL1 a month ago, I’ve hardly been bringing out the old (and dreadfully heavy) D300 for indoor pictures of Hannah. So, with Hannah in a characteristically good mood just now, the Nikon DSLR was taken out

Hannah @ KFC

Posted on 17 May 201017 May 2010   by CY

Here’s a set of pictures to show what happens when Hannah feels left out of daddy and mommy’s brunch.:) She’s got her eye already on the coffee! *Whimper* But if she only knew how crappy the coffee was. We couldn’t

Hannah @ Yoshinoya

Posted on 16 May 201016 May 2010   by CY

There are a lot of places to dine at Compass Point. However,  after taking into account the time in which we usually drive there for brunches + Ling having aversions to the food court on level 4, in practice, our

Daddy and Daughter

Posted on 14 May 20105 Mar 2017   by CY

There’s one thing I continue to marvel about Hannah joining our family of two. Yeah, I’ve posted about it here several times now, but it’s still something I just can’t say enough of: that Hannah is really the best thing

Daddy’s Girl

Posted on 13 May 201016 May 2010   by CY

I got home yesterday evening pretty spaced out – had a content-heavy lecture at noon, chaired two meetings after that, took the last hour to co-vet through an academic document. As soon as I’d step through our door though, I

Yummy Baby Foods: Chicken Porridge

Posted on 12 May 201019 Sep 2010   by Ling

Porridge is such comfort food. Of all the recipes I have for Hannah’s porridges, the chicken porridge has the best flavour. Ingredients (serves 1 chinese bowl) White rice (1 chinese spoon) Brown rice (1/2 chinese spoon) Chicken breast meat (1

Women can’t read maps

Posted on 11 May 201011 May 2010   by CY

And it’s actually science – I kid you not – that claims to prove just that. According to this source, the male ability of spatial orientation comes from the testosterone gene he inherited from his ancestors, and it didn’t get

My First Mother’s Day

Posted on 11 May 201010 May 2010   by Ling

The usual poo-poo and stuff. Nothing ceremonial la. Hee hee. :P I got a little surprise though. Hannah’s teachers from her infant care centre got the infants to make hand-prints on paper and then they transformed these hand-prints into a

Posted on 10 May 2010   by CY

Over on Saturday evening, we drove back to our family home at Lentor for a get together dinner. I think that this was also to had been a mother’s day sort of celebration but that might have got lost somewhere
