Hannah @ LX7 – Part 1

Posted on 13 Jan 201325 Feb 2017   by CY

While the newly acquired LX7 isn’t the smallest compact camera around, it still fits very nicely into the side pockets of the bermudas I wear when we’re out of home on weekend trips. It’s a more discrete photo-taking device than

Standoffs

Posted on 7 Jan 201325 Feb 2017   by CY

Hannah @ 12-50mm

Posted on 29 Dec 20123 Apr 2018   by CY

I just realized that after the at least several thousands of pictures I’ve taken of our girl using the 20mm f1.7 and 30mm f2.8 prime lenses, I’ve hardly made a blog post of the pictures taken using the (boring and

Another update on our new place that’s still in construction @ The Minton condo. There might not be much immediately obvious developments to the project, but when we look harder, we see numerous changes and progress to the condo’s physical

Melaka 2012 – Retrospection

Posted on 24 Dec 201217 Jul 2018   by CY

If our trips to Melaka and Sugi island has shown us any one thing, it’s that our 3.5 year old girl is ready for further trips outfield. She survived the 4 hour bus journey to/fro Singapore and Melaka very well

iPad (4) Retina

Posted on 18 Dec 201223 Dec 2018   by CY

I had a Windows Live Messenging conversation with the wife yesterday afternoon, and it went like this. “Dear, I have a confession to make.” “I know. You bought yourself a new toy?” “!!! Dear, you’re so clever.:)” “When you have

41 and counting

Posted on 11 Dec 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

Even if the age is taking its time to show on my facial features, the rest of me distinctly feels all of 41 years! Just a day after I turned 41 over the weekend, the very next day at work,

The Theory of Two

Posted on 7 Dec 20125 Mar 2017   by Ling

For a long time, Yang and I were content with having just one child. My decision was largely influenced by Yang’s perception of my ability to manage another kid. Other minor reasons include my age (higher risk of conceiving a

Conversations with a Three Year Old – 2

Posted on 1 Dec 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

There’s a couple of dishes that I can do passably well, learning that mostly came off my years spent in Perth. One of them is, incidentally, one of Hannah’s favorite dishes – Carbonara pasta. So, that was for our dinner

Hannah @ 30mm – Part 5

Posted on 27 Nov 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

Hannah knows Christmas isn’t too far away. She’s spotted the early festive decorations at shopping malls and even cheekily asked if those trees are ours. We still have our tree from last year, sans a couple of leaves and white

Paging for Ang Mo!

Posted on 16 Nov 201225 Feb 2017   by CY
