Flowers and Goofy

Posted on 28 Aug 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

Weekend dinners are often early when I’m on cooking duties, since we often have early brunches before 10 AM. That usually leaves us with quite a bit of time in the early evening to bring Hannah out on walks either

Local Coffee & Toast Outlets in Singapore

Posted on 27 Aug 201225 Feb 2017   by Ling

In Singapore, one of our favourite past times is to hang out or stopover at an eatery selling kaya toast, coffee / tea and whatnots. I have a pet peeve over a particular such eatery of late. It is Toast

Treaty Negotiations

Posted on 26 Aug 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

In February this year, I wrote here about Hannah’s newly developed abilties in sentence construction. Six months and today, she’s not only able to form sentences, she can now string them together into conversations but also negotiate with us when

I haven’t done a post on Hannah’s morning routine for more than 2 years now, so here’s an updated post on it and our reactions as parents! Hannah has settled in nicely with her nanny and also at pre-nursery at

Movie Revisits

Posted on 22 Aug 201214 Mar 2018   by CY

Over the fortnight while the Olympics was in season, most evenings were spent in front of the living room TV. Not that I was consciously watching what was going on-screen, but I like having background audio while I’m working away

Work-in-Progress – Part 7

Posted on 20 Aug 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

It’s the Hari Raya Puasa, or breaking of the Ramadan fast public holiday today. Ling has been feeling quite under the weather with a week long coughing spell, but nonetheless was still well enough for us to swing by The

Blog Writing

Posted on 20 Aug 201214 Jul 2018   by CY

Interestingly, over the years while we’ve had many friends who’ve tried blogging, not many keep up with posting after a while. I think a good part of it is that blogging in itself isn’t convenient, relative to social network sites

The MacBook Pro Retina (rMBP) arrived on Tuesday afternoon, about 8 days after placing an order for it. The notebook configuration I chose wasn’t the base configuration. Given that the new series of rMBPs can’t be user-upgraded later after it

Fruit Parcels
