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
Continuation from the last post! The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010). Surprisingly, a new modern day fantasy film that isn’t an adaption from an existing novel. Nicholas Cage plays Balthazar a still sprightly 1000 year old sorcerer from Merlin’s days, in a
Oodles of Romantic Dramas, Action and Super Hero Flicks – Part 1
There hasn’t been a lot of Film & Entertainment posts of late here on our blog. Not because I haven’t been watching any, but only because I haven’t been writing about them! Most of them were pretty recent films from
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

Mcdonald’s Aunties
A funny incident of sorts took place over Saturday brunch this morning. We were at the Mcdonald’s outlet opposite Ang Mo Kio Hub. Our usual SOP involves me going to buy the grub, and Ling setting up a table with
Punggol Boardwalk
Ling has this thing about going to places that are closer to nature. After our friend Ann visited and blogged about a new board walk that stretches along Punggol canal, we popped by earlier in the early evening for a
Re-entering the Kitchen: Olive Fried Rice
Yang: "I feel neglected" Ling: "Huh?" Yang: "No more TLC…people now got high blood pressure…" Ling: *Oops* Long story short, I was doing less home-cooked meals since the arrival of Hannah in our family. Caring for a baby proved to
