Conversations with a Three Year Old – 2

Posted on 1 Dec 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

There’s a couple of dishes that I can do passably well, learning that mostly came off my years spent in Perth. One of them is, incidentally, one of Hannah’s favorite dishes – Carbonara pasta. So, that was for our dinner

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

妹妹 or 弟弟

Posted on 9 Nov 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

Hannah will be having a little brother or sister soon! We found out yesterday from the test kit, but waited a day for Ling to get the confirmation from her gynecologist just now. Incredibly, it’s been nearly 4 years ago

Hannah @ 30mm – Part 3

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

Re-entering the Kitchen: Spare Pork Ribs in Plum Sauce

Posted on 17 Oct 201225 Feb 2017   by Ling

It all started with a neglected bottle of plum sauce in our fridge. I just cleared and tidied up the fridge recently. And I’m very proud to announce that all the items in the fridge are neatly organised and packed

The secrets of slumber

Posted on 15 Oct 201225 Feb 2017   by Ling
