Apologies for the relative absence of posts in the last fortnight – I’ve been away on my annual in-camp training stint! I’m certainly looking forward to when I turn 40 at the end of this year, whereupon I’d be finally

Home Craft: CNY Decoration

Posted on 17 Jan 2011   by Ling

I like to make things with my hands. :) Be it from cooking, baking, needlework, art ‘n’ craft or gardening, I derive much pleasure and satisfaction. It has been ages since I last make any craft items. I had a

We’ve been feeding Hannah solids for more than a year now on her baby chair. And – finally – just several days ago, our baby girl has learned how to DIY eating dinner! Ling took some video on her very

Reaching another milestone

Posted on 13 Jan 201115 Jan 2011   by Ling

I have an overdue confession to make. There was one area of Hannah’s psychomotor skills which I deliberately delayed due to laziness on my part. Mommy wanted to avoid cleaning up messy food spills. So our dear girl didn’t get

Somewhere, June 2011?

Posted on 11 Jan 201111 Jan 2011   by CY

Something weird happens whenever we travel. The instant we’re back in Singapore, we begin planning for the next vacation! :) It’s no different this time too, and I’ve been working out some basic costing and preliminary itineraries on a trip

Posted on 10 Jan 201110 Jan 2011   by CY

After posting up nearly 50+ Japan posts in the last fortnight, it’s time for Hannah posts again! One thing that we were really thankful for was that Hannah adjusted very well to her nearly 11 day stay with grandparents at

Haiku?

Posted on 7 Jan 20117 Jan 2011   by CY

Ling has a really funny way of asking for directions whenever we were lost in Japan. Whether it’s a local passer-by along Shijo-Dori, or at some subway station, she’ll always ask this way: “Excuse me, could you tell me is

Posted on 6 Jan 20113 Jan 2020   by CY

We had three fairly significant issues we had to decide for Hannah this year: Putting Hannah into Infant care (Bad): This was initially a pretty clear decision even if it was not easy to make because of compounding factors. We

The old year has come and gone past, and this was a post I was supposed to do before it ended! But well, better late than never. Long post again, so in multiple parts. Starting with my toys! Panasonic HDC-TM700

Posted on 5 Jan 201114 Mar 2018   by CY

The Crazies (2010) – on rental. I queued up a lot of films while we were away in Japan, and now that we’re back, I can get back to watching rentals when I can find the time to and continue
