Disaster Recipe

Posted on 7 Feb 20107 Feb 2010   by CY

Here’s a recipe for disaster: – Hannah still recovering from a bout of diarrhea + – Hannah carpet bombs her bottom and diaper, like a doomsday sort of conflagration, the likes of which have never been seen before + –

Mommy & Daughter

Posted on 7 Feb 20107 Feb 2010   by CY

Last month I wrote an entry reporting that while Hannah’s all me in mannerisms and general looks, her eyes take after Ling’s. Well, here’s proof – got Hannah to pose with Mommy, with Ling making her laugh.:) Looks like Hannah

What’s Cooking @ Rivervale

Posted on 6 Feb 20106 Feb 2010   by CY

Another change at home since Hannah ‘popped’ 8 months ago has been cooking at home for the both of us. Before Hannah, we’d typically home cook perhaps 3-4 times a week. Since June last year, Ling very rarely cooks dinner

Baby Faces at 50mm – Part 3

Posted on 6 Feb 2010   by CY

If there’s one thing I miss on portrait lenses, it’s optical stabilization in low light situations typical of a restaurant. These were taken (badly) this morning during a brunch at Swensens @ Compass Point, and if you’ve been there for

Hannah and Diarrhea

Posted on 5 Feb 20107 Feb 2010   by Ling

Just when she was about to recover from a mild flu, Hannah came down with diarrhoea. Her pediatrician said the disease was gastroenteritis. Besides diarrhoea, other symptoms include nausea, vomiting and cramping. Well, Hannah had diarrhoea only but it was

Fruits, sweetie?

Posted on 1 Feb 201028 Mar 2010   by Ling

The main reason behind introducing veggies before fruits for infants is to avoid the rejection of the greens later in life. Since fruits tends to be sweeter than veggies, the assumption is that babies will accept them easily. Right? Nah…

Baby Faces at 50mm – Part 2

Posted on 1 Feb 20101 Feb 2010   by CY

These next were taken at the level four Kopitiam at Hougang Mall with warm lighting in the food court. Had to adjust tint levels and temperature, and even then the results still look a little off.

Baby Faces at 50mm – Part 1

Posted on 31 Jan 20101 Feb 2010   by CY

My first Nikon lens from 1985 was a 50mm f1.8. As those of us who’re amateurs in photography would know, this 50mm focal length lens is especially appropriate for portrait shots. While I did pick up my first zoom lens

Danger…danger…

Posted on 31 Jan 20105 Apr 2010   by CY

Hannah was found reaching for the guard railings of her cot after her bath over the weekend! Though you can see that her fingers are grasping the railings very tightly so that she can support her weight, it’s still pretty

Morning Play

Posted on 30 Jan 201031 Jan 2010   by CY

Hannah’s like me not in just the physical resemblance; unlike her mommy, Hannah’s an early riser like daddy! She’ll frequently be up at 7 AM whether I wake her up or not. In fact, before infant care, that she was

Feeding Time Pictures

Posted on 29 Jan 201030 Jan 2010   by CY

Hannah has come a long way by way of getting fed solids. When we first fed her solids 6 weeks ago, the experience was similar to rummaging through a dumpster… it was more a mess than nutrition! But the experience

Hannah @ Shabu-Shi Buffet

Posted on 28 Jan 20105 Apr 2010   by CY

We haven’t had a nice family dinner – not counting brunches at Swensen’s – for the three of us since the wedding anniversary last November. So, last night after work, we drove down to Hougang Mall to compensate. Most of
