Hachiko: A Dog’s Story
Hachiko: A Dog’s Story (2009) – on rental. Maybe it was because I was still feeling ill yesterday Saturday afternoon when I gave this supposed cry-fest of a film a go. Long story short, I thought the film really wasn’t

New Toys: Four Phases
There are four basic phases involved whenever Hannah gets oriented to a new toy. Here’s a case in point: we picked up a toy mobile-phone at Kiddy Palace @ Compass Point earlier today. The pictures below show the four different
Diva Queen
As Hannah’s grows each day, the both of us are on the lookout for new things and behavior we’re seeing coming out of her. It’s not just her vocal utterances, but also the way she perceives and wants to interact
Mozart’s Contemporaries
I think many piano learners here would have gone the route of learning Haydn, Mozart or Beethoven sonatas at some point. The three are among the most widely known of ‘classical’-period music composers from the mid 1700s to early 1800s.
Lessons Never Learnt
There’s a lesson that I never learn: and it’s “Never repair your computer when you’re sick.” Why? Because I start bungling and forgetting things – and typically personal data gets lost somewhere in the mess. Ling messaged yesterday morning to
Law Abiding Citizen
Law Abiding Citizen (2009) – on rental. Imagine a film where there’s a brilliant super-villain who’s always two steps ahead of his adversaries. He outsmarts them at every turn, and plays puppet master as he leads his opponents through a
Panasonic HDC-TM700
Another post about toys.:) I picked up my first HD Camcorder – the Panasonic HDC-SD20 – more than a year ago mostly for Hannah’s coming into our family. I was initially a little reticent about having my home-video processing work
Tired Mommy, Sickly Baby
Ling was lamenting on our way home from work yesterday that she was starting to reconsider keeping Hannah at the Infant Care Center, and it’s down to one specific reason: the potential for our little one to pick up all
Settlers 7: Paths to a Kingdom
Cross-posted from my other blog.:) — It’s always a pleasure to return to city-building type of real-time strategy games. These games aren’t quite as prolific as the Command and Conquer/Warcraft clones, but over the last decade we’ve seen impressive titles
Hannah with E-PL1
Now that I’ve had the E-PL1 for nearly a fortnight and used it with a third party flash unit for indoor flash photography, I think I’ve got a better feel for the camera, its utility and limitations. Oh yeah –
10 months!
Hannah turned ten months old over the weekend in a mix of her usual cranky self and runny nose. The pinkish spots she had on her face are gradually subsidizing fortunately, if not completely gone. But since she caught that
Red Spots
For the last 9.5 months now, Hannah typically wakes up on her own at about 7:15 AM every morning on non-school days, where she’ll coo to and play with herself first. That’s been a huge blessing we’ve been grateful for
