Superhero

Posted on 6 Sep 200918 Apr 2010   by CY

We were in the living room the other evening when Ling remarked that Hannah has started to mimic a particular superhero. I’d been spending a bit of time each evening on Batman: Arkham Asylum (upcoming post on this), so my

Although last Sunday’s picture-taking with Hannah didn’t turn out well, I still managed to get a few nice pictures of her and Ling together. The ones with me in it though didn’t turned out well though. One resolution Ling had

Hannah has Cradle Cap :(

Posted on 4 Sep 2009   by Ling

The one thing which I feared for Hannah is her getting skin ailments. I have sensitive skin and she might inherit that as well. A few days after she was born, her skin became drier on her cheeks, arms and

Comedy at home

Posted on 4 Sep 2009   by CY

Despite Hannah’s constant need for attention during day hours, we usually still manage to sneak in a bit of couple time every evening when I’m back home from work. This window is usually just a few hours, and between Hannah’s

Hannah with grandparents

Posted on 3 Sep 200918 Apr 2010   by CY

It occurred to me that of all the videos we’ve taken of Hannah in the first three months, we’d neglected to get video of Hannah with grandparents. It’s great that Ling remembered, so when parents came over to visit today

Wedding Music – Revisited

Posted on 3 Sep 20095 Mar 2017   by CY

Nearly a year ago I wrote a series of posts on wedding music. Even though our own event was 3 years ago, whenever I listen to a music composition, my subconscious self still goes on appraisal mode to see if

Buuurrrrppppp!

Posted on 2 Sep 2009   by CY

I’m actually quite new to this whole burping business. Heck – prior to Hannah joining our family, I didn’t know the implications of not burping babies at all, but quickly wised-up to it when Hannah first merlion-ed a feed. It

Not an Ipod

Posted on 2 Sep 2009   by CY

I haven’t had the chance to use my recently acquired Gorilla Pod Focus extensively yet as we haven’t had the chance to bring Hannah out for outdoor photographic shoots yet, apart from that nearly failed attempt on Sunday. But here

East India Company

Posted on 2 Sep 200914 Mar 2018   by CY

Reposted from the school blog I write for. Mention the name “The East India Company”, and you’re likely to immediately either associate it with the last two movies of the Pirates of the Carribean film trilogy, or Sir Stamford Raffles.

Work those muscles!

Posted on 1 Sep 20095 Apr 2010   by CY

Since March this year, I’ve been slacking and letting my muscles atrophy. Why March though? Well during that month, I was spending two evenings per week at the SAFRA Toa Payoh gym to work out. Part of national service obligation

Tummy time

Posted on 31 Aug 20095 Apr 2010   by CY

Ling had the idea of trying to set Hannah on her tummy to give her the opportunity to get used to the sensation. Babies apparently at this time are about the age where they start learning to roll over. Unfortunately,

Pimple removal

Posted on 31 Aug 2009   by CY

Ling always complains that she doesn’t look so good when I take pictures of her and Hannah. She’d look at her oily skin, eye bags, wrinkles, unflattering lighting, pimples, acne, black spots; then cringe and grumble that I didn’t take
