Posted on 3 Mar 20105 Apr 2010   by CY

More baby faces! This was after Hannah’s dinner feed this afternoon, and taken just after I got back home. While Ling went back into the kitchen to make ready her dessert, I sneaked the opportunity to take a series of

Daddy I’m standing!

Posted on 1 Mar 201018 Apr 2010   by CY

It’s both delightful to see Hannah learn new skills, and a mite scary at how fast she’s picking them up! Just barely two weeks ago she was still struggling to pick herself up from all fours to a standing position.

Bed-Time

Posted on 26 Feb 20105 Apr 2010   by CY

Given the heat in recent days, we’ve been trying to give Hannah a second bath each evening before the last feed of the day. This will usually be at about 8 pm. Ling bathes Hannah, and I do all the

Just Bad Luck

Posted on 26 Feb 20105 Apr 2010   by CY

There’s one thing that I think we should be thankful for, living along the equatorial region. Basically, we rarely get flights canceled or delayed here because of uncooperative weather. Oh, we get the odd typhoon now and then, say in

Gene Theory

Posted on 25 Feb 201025 Feb 2010   by CY

While I was in Kumamoto last December, Ling and Hannah spent a good amount of time at our Lentor family home, staying with my parents. After I got back home, Ling shared with me her experience of staying at Lentor,

Inglorious Basterds

Posted on 23 Feb 201014 Mar 2018   by CY

Inglorious Basterds (2009) – on rental. Quentin Tarantino is one of those film directors who can make any film he pleases: and even with the trademark eccentricities in his productions, everyone of them will still be critically acclaimed hits. The

Another Blurb

Posted on 23 Feb 201013 Mar 2010   by CY

Writing and preparing yet another Blurb book has become a regular ritual for me. As soon as I finished Book III of the series of Vita Una books last September, I began work on Book IV: The initial plan for

A pleasant weekday evening

Posted on 22 Feb 201022 Feb 2010   by Ling

Just when I was marvelling at Yang’s dad for having his ex-students paying him visits year after year during the Chinese New Year season, I got one tonight too. Name is Jinju. I taught her biology and was also her

Photography = Chaos

Posted on 21 Feb 20105 Apr 2010   by CY

Comical situations occasionally come up at home. Just 30 minutes ago, Hannah was sleeping and I was working on the PC when Ling came into the workroom and said in hushed tone: “Dear, want to take pictures of Hannah? She’s

Hannah @ Play

Posted on 21 Feb 20105 Apr 2010   by CY

Hannah was in one of her usual wailing moods mid-afternoon yesterday. Ling was preparing her solids feed, so it fell to me to have to ‘entertain’ and quieten her just so that the entire block of Rivervale residents don’t come

Pirates of the Caribbean Revisited – Part 3

Posted on 21 Feb 201014 Mar 2018   by CY

There were several high and low points in my revisits to the three films too this week: memorable scenes that worked very well, and scenes that were just awful. For the former: the standout scenes included the introduction of Jack

Pirates of the Caribbean Revisited – Part 2

Posted on 20 Feb 201014 Mar 2018   by CY

One of those challenges about producing film trilogies themed on fantastic premises is coming up with story arcs to string and relate the three films together. Ideally, you’ll want to write the entire story for the three films first before
