Posted on 25 May 201026 May 2010   by CY

Follow-up on my post a month ago.:) Decisions got finalized late last week, and it was quite a rush yesterday to work out all the travel and accommodation arrangements. A good part of it has been in planning for weeks

On All Fours

Posted on 25 May 201025 May 2010   by CY

From what I know, babies start learning to walk at about their first birthday. Hannah’s just two weeks away from turning one, and it’s been delightful watching her learn how to stand steadily without support. Not entirely successfully yet as

More of the Usual Weekend Pictures

Posted on 23 May 201023 May 2010   by CY

More pictures of our growing daughter, taken over the weekend just a fortnight away from her first birthday.:) Hannah pondering whether to cry or not to cry. Hannah striking a 小姐 look. She’s still obsessed with her sheep. Getting changed

Hannah Early Morning

Posted on 21 May 201021 May 2010   by CY

More pictures taken this morning just before we headed out of home.:) Hannah’s got a couple of mosquito bite marks though; one or two we think she got at infant care, and a few more at home. Must be mosquito

Playyard = Life Savers

Posted on 19 May 20103 Apr 2018   by CY

We’ve had the play yard for more than two months now, and have concluded that the gadget’s quite the life saver! Hannah seems happy keeping to herself and her toys when she’s inside the play area bounded by the six

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

Hannah @ Monday Evening

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

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

P5 Science

Ling was answering a mutual friend’s question about primary 5 science in an email she also copied me on. Here’s a slightly edited segment of her reply: Hi XXX, Any cell with cell wall but no nucleus must be a

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
