Posted on 27 Feb 201027 Feb 2010   by CY

Since buying my first digital camera 11 years ago and getting into digital imaging, I’ve hardly ever printed photos anymore, apart from the odd occasion when we need pictures for photo frames at home, or when parents ask for them

Bed-Time

Posted on 26 Feb 20105 Apr 2010   by CY

Given the heat in recent days, we’ve been trying to give Hannah a second bath each evening before the last feed of the day. This will usually be at about 8 pm. Ling bathes Hannah, and I do all the

Gene Theory

While I was in Kumamoto last December, Ling and Hannah spent a good amount of time at our Lentor family home, staying with my parents. After I got back home, Ling shared with me her experience of staying at Lentor,

Another Blurb

Posted on 23 Feb 201013 Mar 2010   by CY

Writing and preparing yet another Blurb book has become a regular ritual for me. As soon as I finished Book III of the series of Vita Una books last September, I began work on Book IV: The initial plan for

A pleasant weekday evening

Posted on 22 Feb 201022 Feb 2010   by Ling

Just when I was marvelling at Yang’s dad for having his ex-students paying him visits year after year during the Chinese New Year season, I got one tonight too. Name is Jinju. I taught her biology and was also her

Hannah @ Play

Posted on 21 Feb 20105 Apr 2010   by CY

Hannah was in one of her usual wailing moods mid-afternoon yesterday. Ling was preparing her solids feed, so it fell to me to have to ‘entertain’ and quieten her just so that the entire block of Rivervale residents don’t come

Updates on Hannah’s First Year Milestones

Posted on 19 Feb 201018 Apr 2010   by Ling

First Month: She smiled. Second Month: Started to mimick sounds of words, e.g. ‘er le’, ‘ok lah’. Slept through the night. Started to gain better support of her head. Third Month: Started to giggle. Mumbled what sounded like ‘mommy’. Stuck

CNY Day 2: Hougang Point

Posted on 15 Feb 201015 Feb 2010   by CY

If there’s one thing I really dislike about CNY, it’s the humidity and heat of January to February that the festivities often fall on. Temperatures here have been a not very pleasant 33°C (but feels like 36°C), with Hannah being

Here’s the most current version of the grandparents + grandkids picture – and as happy as they look in the picture, you wouldn’t know how much trauma it involved getting the lot (grandparents excepted) to pose like this!

CNY Eve: Hannah’s First CNY

Posted on 13 Feb 20103 Apr 2018   by CY

The Chinese New Year festivities at Lentor are usually really just excuses to pig out and eat without care, so this year’s CNY eve dinner was no different: lots of good food. This year’s a little different also because it’s
