One of those funny things about being a computer enthusiast and also a computer engineer by training is that for a while, everyone around me concluded I was a 24/7 tech support person! You name it, I did it. Sorting

Posted on 5 Sep 2011   by CY

I’ve taken to bringing our little girl to the playground after dinner whenever I can. It’s become quite a bonding activity between daddy-daughter, and something she seems to look forward to when evenings draw near. The playground was recently renovated

Hannah and Her Shoes

Posted on 24 Aug 2011   by Ling

I enjoy buying shoes for Hannah whenever there is a good bargain and her feet are about to outgrow her current set. Hannah’s very first pair of walking shoes (not the prewalker type with leather soles) was from Crocs. I
