Hannah @ Galaxy Note

Posted on 31 Mar 201213 Jul 2018   by CY

Camera phones have really come a long way. It didn’t seem more than just 2-3 years past when the pictures you got out of most camera phones were routinely out-of-focus, badly exposed and so full of noise grain that they

Weekends and 35mm – Part 3

Posted on 25 Mar 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

I’m torn between the two f1.8 primes for the D7000 – the 35mm and 50mm! After the in-body micro AF adjustments, the 35mm is sharp now in the image center now, and the 50mm slightly less so. The 35mm seems

School Break in March

Posted on 24 Mar 201225 Feb 2017   by Ling

Yep, it came and went. And am I sad to see that the March hols left us all too soon. Hmm, I didn’t feel a sense of accomplishment from the short break. Perhaps I didn’t plan to do something that

Daddy Daughter Bonding

Posted on 17 Mar 201213 Jul 2018   by CY

Our about 6 year old speaker system in the living room conked out without warning yesterday evening. Quite possibly the worst time to too, since I’d just picked up a bunch of blu-ray discs – the last two Harry Potter

Online Shopping

Posted on 14 Mar 201225 Feb 2017   by Ling

Yang always cringes whenever he happens to see me ordering items on the Internet. I should add that I spend mostly on our girl :) I usually don’t order directly from overseas online stores. I prefer to join spree organisers

Learning Chinese Through Songs

Posted on 28 Feb 201227 Mar 2012   by Ling

Be it pop or kiddy songs, I’m of the opinion that music makes learning Chinese (or any language I supposed?) pleasurable. We have been quite surprised (and pleased, of course) that Hannah’s kindy has become a positive influence to her

Weekends and 35mm – Part 2

Posted on 26 Feb 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

The more pictures I take of Hannah, the more I’m convinced it’s incredibly hard to take pictures of children! Specifically; they don’t pose on demand, and they’re constantly on the move. Out of say every one hundred pictures I take

Lucky moments like these where I can get a picture which captures our girl in a memorable moment.=)

Rarely does a day go by when we don’t find ourselves surprised by how quickly Hannah is learning to communicate with us! For instance, she was having her routine 15 minutes of Where’s my Water last night, and upon an unsuccessful

Happy Meals on Weekends

Posted on 16 Feb 201225 Feb 2017   by Ling

It has been more than a month since I last blogged. I have switched to a new working environment since the beginning of the year and the workload has been heavier than before. I have not had the time or

We were expecting the worst when heading out for a family dinner this evening after work. It’s Valentine’s Day, and every Singaporean couple and family are out for a celebration dinner. We raced off after work, drove like crazy to

Bay Windows

Posted on 12 Feb 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

The last of our weekend pictures taken of Hannah. This bunch was just after she woke up from her afternoon nap on Saturday afternoon. Our girl has taken to sitting on it and looking out to the swimming pool, trees,
