Photographing Hannah

Posted on 28 Sep 20095 Apr 2010   by CY

I’ve blogged about the difficulty faced when taking pictures of Hannah. When she’s interacting with us and isn’t in one of her grumbling moods, she’d coo delightfully, giggle and generally be cute. It’s easy to take pictures of her being

17 Again

Posted on 28 Sep 200914 Mar 2018   by CY

17 Again (2009) – on rental. The length of my DVD home rental queue fluctuates quite a bit over any given period of time. At times I could have as many as a several dozen films and TV series queued

Sunday Afternoon

Posted on 27 Sep 20095 Apr 2010   by CY

The weather here has been awfully warm and humid, made even the more unpleasant by the light haze caused by the seasonal land burning in Indonesia this last few weeks. Things are very slightly better where we’re at in the

That thing you do

Posted on 27 Sep 2009   by Ling

Babies have a way of stealing one’s heart away. Even the way they cry can be so adorable. :) Hannah and I had some sweet, endearing moments and I wanted to pen some down in case I forget someday. 1)

Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim

Posted on 26 Sep 200914 Mar 2018   by CY

Cross-posting from the other blog. There’s a lot of fantasy-based real-time strategy games available on retail, but none of them are quite like Majesty 2. I played the first game – aptly just called Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim –

Age is catching up liao

Posted on 25 Sep 2009   by Ling

Haiz, another year older. I can feel it more acutely these days whenever I bathe Hannah. My back would be aching by the time I get up from the floor. Perhaps it was also due to myself not exercising frequently

Ling’s Guide to Changing Diapers!

Posted on 24 Sep 200916 Feb 2010   by Ling

For many new moms and dads, changing diaper is a breeze after a few practices. :) Babies, like us, like to be clean. Nobody wants to sit or move around in his/her poo. And babies almost always cry to get

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Posted on 24 Sep 200914 Mar 2018   by CY

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) – on rental. It’s telling for a film if the only good portions of it are in the first 10 minutes. Wolverine begins with a flash back to 1845 where Logan a.k.a. Wolverine and his almost

The Force is (not) strong with this one

Posted on 22 Sep 2009   by CY

I saw on The Straits Times online today an article that gave me chuckle. I wasn’t going to blog about this – I’ve been madly busy at ISATE 2009. But my elder brother sent me a forward of the same

Girl Talk

Posted on 21 Sep 200918 Apr 2010   by CY

Funnily, though the Gorilla Pod Focus has been with me for a couple of weeks now, Ling’s by far the bigger use of the tripod. It’s become a permanent fixture on her table these days. The Panasonic HD Cam is

Catch Firefly

Posted on 19 Sep 2009   by Ling

Yang and I have been watching every episode of Firefly together for the past few evenings when Hannah was napping. Truth to tell, I didn’t think much of it after watching its first episode. Thought the captain was boring to

Hannah and Mummy

Posted on 19 Sep 20095 Apr 2010   by CY

And the second selection of pictures from over the weekend: I was trying to get pictures of Ling kissing Hannah on her forehead. Hannah was a little more cooperative in her moods then too, though she seemed more intrigued by
