Hannah’s First Rally

Posted on 3 May 20114 May 2011   by CY

It’s a once every five years event, and it’s exciting not only because (most) Singaporeans get to vote. It’s because it’s also a national thing where the very uniquely Singaporean trait of kayposing comes right to fore! We had an

Tyrant in the Making

Posted on 2 May 20112 May 2011   by CY

I was behind the wheel in the Ang Mo Kio area on our way to a public holiday screening of Thor, when Ling received a call from a friend, also a new mom learning the ropes, on some questions about

Yummy Toddler Foods: Chicken Macaroni Soup

Posted on 2 May 201122 Jun 2011   by Ling

This dish certainly requires the toddler to do her job at chewing. Hence, theoretically speaking, she would take a longer time to finish her meal. The up side of preparing macaroni soup as compared to porridge is the reduced cooking

Hannah’s Day at the Zoo

Posted on 22 Apr 201124 Apr 2011   by CY

Hannah has been able to easily recognize animals from the set of picture cards she has for months now, and I’ve also created a Folder for her on the computer storing online pictures from a range of animals to help

Our Little Striptease

Posted on 20 Apr 201119 Apr 2011   by Ling

Eh, I know the title sounds a tad inappropriate for little tots but that was exactly what Hannah has been doing every night until mommy put a stop to this behaviour! Of late, Hannah’s busy little hands could undo the

Olympus E-PL2 – Part 1 – Decisions

Posted on 18 Apr 20113 Apr 2018   by CY

I sold my Olympus E-PL1 away late last week after having it for over a year and shooting about 6,000 pictures on it. I really liked the camera a lot. It was handsome looking, beautiful out of the camera JPGs,

Hannah @ 1 Year 10 Months!

Posted on 9 Apr 201112 Apr 2011   by CY

Hannah’s just two more months to two years old – i.e. we’re gonna have to start thinking about a small birthday event for her – but she’s already solidly entrenched into the ‘Terrible Two’s’ phase. She’s learning to vigorously resist,

…card card…

Posted on 6 Apr 2011   by Ling

There’s something about a stack of picture cards that our girl can’t resist getting her hands on. The thing about giving Hannah these not-too-thick rectangular pieces of paper for play is that she might fold, tear or crush them altogether.

Hannah with Hair Pins

Posted on 4 Apr 20114 Apr 2011   by CY

We bought Hannah a small tube with eight colored hairpins the other week, and our little girl has been having a ball of a time playing with them. Ling has been doing up her hair with the pins – though

Hannah to P1 Project

Posted on 28 Mar 201125 Mar 2012   by CY

Some of our close friends know that we’ve started looking closely at possibly moving to a new place in the next couple of years, on account of trying to do what we can to put Hannah through a reasonably good

Hannah back at Punggol Park

Posted on 27 Mar 2011   by CY

Funnily, even though we can see Punggol Park from our living room, we don’t go there for walks as much as we’d like. Hannah’s certainly not been there very often. Her first occasion was when she was just two months

Yummy Baby’s Food: There is porridge and there is porridge

Posted on 27 Mar 201122 Dec 2011   by Ling

After sharing my recipes for Hannah’s porridges some time back, I have since made some modifications. For the benefit of folks who might use my recipes, below is a quick summary of the changes I’ve made. 1) It is unnecessary
