Hannah @ 70-200mm f2.8
The Sigma 70-20mm f2.8 has been getting neglected, so it was time to take it out for a spin over the weekend. The amazing bokeh that Matt’s 1.8mm lenses on his full-frame D800 was still clear in my memory. A
Sticker Books
One of Hannah’s favorite evening routines is to do sticker book exercises with us. Ling first bought her one such book at the start of the year, and it contained several hundred stickers spread out over 36 pages. That book
Hannah with the E-M5 – Part 3
Couple of developments over the last fortnight. We found that Hannah was in the (bad!) habit of saying “What???” whenever we called out for her. Not sure where she picked that up from! We took to gently correcting her to
Yummy Toddler Foods: Banana-Blueberry Smoothie
Despite my best efforts at selecting fresh foods sold at our nearby NTUC supermarkets, getting decent eating quality stuff can still be a hit-and-miss affair. The latest disappointment came from 2 boxes of blueberries sold at a discount. They were
Work-in-Progress – Part 6
It’s been more than two months since our last entry of our new home @ The Minton condo. We’d actually visited the construction site as recently as a month ago with Matt (the next time he visits us we’d probably
Hannah @ D800 – Part 2
Our Ang Mo bud took a lot of great portrait pictures of Hannah using his new and very tok kong (Hokkien for top-of-the-line!) D800 over the three weeks he stayed with us. Here’re some of my favorites, including several that
Hannah @ Telunas – Part 1
Ling remarked over the weekend that I haven’t been doing any of my usual posts on our three year old girl. One remarkable change that’s become evident in the last month is her growing ability to link sentences together to
8 Days in China – Part 3: Shanghai
I’d originally intended to spend just 2 days in Shanghai, but because of last minute changes to my business itinerary, ended up staying for 5 days. Unfortunately, the city – like Beijing just prior – was all smoggy that I
Re-entering the Kitchen: Teh Halia
This recipe is for our ang mo friend, Matt :) He’s a big fan of our local version of ginger milk tea aka teh halia. And he only gets to enjoy the beverage every two years he visits us. Actually,
8 Days in China – Part 2: Beijing
If Changchun was a up and coming albeit a little rustic city, Beijing in my view was a busy, smog-ridden, bustling city that was all stone, glass and concrete! I was already aware prior to the trip of the serious
8 Days in China – Part 1: Changchun
Ling has asked me several times now if we would want to go to China for a holiday. And each time – without fail – she’ll get a look of abject horror from me! Yep that sounds funny from someone
Yummy Toddler Foods: Banana-Strawberry Popsicle
Argh, sour strawberries. *sian* Recently, my FIL bought Hannah a large box of humongous strawberries which, he was told, were sweet. Kenna conned! Sigh. So many sour strawberries sitting in the fridge! It would be such a waste to dump
