Piranha 3D
Piranha 3D (2010) – on rental. Critters gone amok, and eating up humans while at it. That’s the kind of film I’ll happily watch when I need film entertainment without emotional or brain investment! Piranha 3D is a remake of
…card card…
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.
Going Underwater
Lentor parents was asking a couple of weeks ago if I could pick up a cheap digital compact camera for them to bring on their recent trip back to our ancestral home in Hainan Island. They’d heard a lot about
Re-entering the Kitchen: Lotus Root ‘n’ Peanuts Soup
I’m starting to get some success at making clear Chinese soups at home. My initial attempts gave really bland results. Two mistakes I tend to commit in the past: 1) use of excessive water, and 2) use of high heat.
Hannah with Hair Pins
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
Oodles of Romantic Dramas, Action and Super Hero Flicks – Part 2

Re-entering the Kitchen: Corn & Huai Shan Chicken Soup
Not sure whether this is true but I noticed that fresh Huai Shan (or Chinese yam) has made its frequent appearance at our local markets only in recent years. It seems easy enough to use this fresh Chinese herb for
Re-entering the Kitchen: Stir-fry Noodles
Some time ago our friend Ann featured her stewed ee fu noodles recipe on her blog and that got me interested to try the recipe at home. But alas, I bought the wrong type of noodles and ended up cooking
Gaming, Women and Society
A year ago I received a fairly large group of JC students who were at my institution as part of their immersion program to better understand video games in society. One of the topics I spoke to them about was
Hannah to P1 Project
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
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
