The Pad

Posted on 10 May 201123 Dec 2018   by CY

If nothing else, ownership of the iPad has not given me any surprises. The tablet has been commented, praised, criticised, debated and reviewed to death; and like every other gadget I invest in, I didn’t walk into the buying process

Hard Decisions

Posted on 6 May 201123 Dec 2018   by CY

I made what was one of the hardest decisions this year. I bought an IPad2 this afternoon during lunch hour. Yeah despite my intense dislike for the fruit company. I’d been planning to pick up an Android tablet for ages

Tyrant in the Making

Posted on 2 May 20112 May 2011   by CY

I was behind the wheel in the Ang Mo Kio area on our way to a public holiday screening of Thor, when Ling received a call from a friend, also a new mom learning the ropes, on some questions about

Yummy Toddler Foods: Chicken Macaroni Soup

Posted on 2 May 201122 Jun 2011   by Ling

This dish certainly requires the toddler to do her job at chewing. Hence, theoretically speaking, she would take a longer time to finish her meal. The up side of preparing macaroni soup as compared to porridge is the reduced cooking

Simply love choral music :)

Posted on 22 Apr 201123 Apr 2011   by Ling

It’s the season for the Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) Central Judging for Choirs for secondary schools again. Just the other day, I went to support my ex-choir at Singapore of the Arts (SOTA) School where the judging was held. Actually,

Our Little Striptease

Posted on 20 Apr 201119 Apr 2011   by Ling

Eh, I know the title sounds a tad inappropriate for little tots but that was exactly what Hannah has been doing every night until mommy put a stop to this behaviour! Of late, Hannah’s busy little hands could undo the

Olympus E-PL2 – Part 1 – Decisions

Posted on 18 Apr 20113 Apr 2018   by CY

I sold my Olympus E-PL1 away late last week after having it for over a year and shooting about 6,000 pictures on it. I really liked the camera a lot. It was handsome looking, beautiful out of the camera JPGs,

Hannah @ 1 Year 10 Months!

Posted on 9 Apr 201112 Apr 2011   by CY

Hannah’s just two more months to two years old – i.e. we’re gonna have to start thinking about a small birthday event for her – but she’s already solidly entrenched into the ‘Terrible Two’s’ phase. She’s learning to vigorously resist,

Centurion

Posted on 9 Apr 201114 Mar 2018   by CY

Centurion (2010) – on rental. I’m always a big sucker for historical dramas, especially that centered on the ancient Roman civilization. Centurion was released last year in theatres here, but I gave it a miss on account of that early

Piranha 3D

Posted on 8 Apr 201114 Mar 2018   by CY

Piranha 3D (2010) – on rental. Critters gone amok, and eating up humans while at it. That’s the kind of film I’ll happily watch when I need film entertainment without emotional or brain investment! Piranha 3D is a remake of

…card card…

Posted on 6 Apr 2011   by Ling

There’s something about a stack of picture cards that our girl can’t resist getting her hands on. The thing about giving Hannah these not-too-thick rectangular pieces of paper for play is that she might fold, tear or crush them altogether.

Going Underwater

Posted on 6 Apr 20117 Apr 2012   by CY

Lentor parents was asking a couple of weeks ago if I could pick up a cheap digital compact camera for them to bring on their recent trip back to our ancestral home in Hainan Island. They’d heard a lot about
