Home Craft: CNY Decoration

Posted on 17 Jan 2011   by Ling

I like to make things with my hands. :) Be it from cooking, baking, needlework, art ‘n’ craft or gardening, I derive much pleasure and satisfaction. It has been ages since I last make any craft items. I had a

Reaching another milestone

Posted on 13 Jan 201115 Jan 2011   by Ling

I have an overdue confession to make. There was one area of Hannah’s psychomotor skills which I deliberately delayed due to laziness on my part. Mommy wanted to avoid cleaning up messy food spills. So our dear girl didn’t get

Spartacus: Blood and Sand – Part 2

Posted on 20 Dec 201021 Dec 2010   by CY

The actor performances pique my interest, because as visually spectacular as Gladiator was and that Russell Crowe did a great number as the brooding Maximus, I never quite got got past the disbelief that these were Hollywood bigwigs playacting in

Spartacus: Blood and Sand – Part 1

Posted on 20 Dec 201014 Mar 2018   by CY

Spartacus: Blood and Sand (2010) – on HD. Contrary to what some of us might think, the stuff about the fictonal character Maximus Meridius going up against the might of Rome in Ridley Scott’s Gladiator wasn’t historically without precedent. More

Japan – A 10.5 Days Journey

Posted on 19 Dec 20103 Apr 2018   by CY

About six months ago when filling in my application to take annual leave for our Japan trip, I half-jokingly entered into the ‘Remarks’ field that this overseas holiday was to be “a wife-pacifying trip”.:) Truth to tell; we’re just about

The Pacific – Part 2

Posted on 19 Dec 201014 Mar 2018   by CY

On the other hand; there were elements in The Pacific that didn’t work for me. One of the strongest aspects of BoB was that it centered its attention squarely on a small group of men who fought in a one-year

The Pacific – Part 1

Posted on 19 Dec 201014 Mar 2018   by CY

The Pacific (2010) – on HD. Of the many war and political history books that the late Professor Stephen Ambrose wrote, two of them particularly standout for me. One is Citizen Soldiers – which was in turn one of the

Getting to know myself

Posted on 14 Dec 201014 Dec 2010   by Ling

*Mommy has been trying to teach me more about my little body. She likes to ask me “where’s this and that” to reinforce my memory. I still think that my belly button is at my chest region. And I love

Hannah’s first tooth brush

Posted on 13 Dec 2010   by Ling

As far as teeth development is concerned, Hannah is really lagging behind the average baby. At 18 months, she has a total of 6 full teeth and 4 in the midst of sprouting. In any case, we have made the
