Hannah @ Old Town
It’s the first day of the school holidays today. Ling doesn’t need to be in school, so I took a childcare leave day to also spend with our baby girl. Hannah hasn’t been to the beach before, so that was
Hannah @ Ikea
Ikea @ Tampines is just a 15 minute drive away from our place, and – like Ling for Kiddy Palace – whenever we’re there, Ling is able to think of something to buy. So unlike us males. We’ll only get
Hair Clips
Hannah’s hair has grown almost long enough for us to tie pony tails – an event we imagine will happen really soon. In the mean time, Ling picked up a hair clip for her. Hannah doesn’t quite know what to
Brazilian Cheese Bread
A friend of Yang commented about making Brazilian cheese bread on FB sometime ago and the recipe caught my attention for 2 reasons: 1) The method and ingredients were simple, and 2) I’ve not tried making bread. I had some

The Red Clock
The play yard we picked up several months ago has been experiencing minimal use recently, since Hannah doesn’t react very well anymore to roaming about with plastic partitions. We routinely let her walk around the living room and study these
Joke overheard
This one’s probably an old one! During the counseling class last week, there were jokes aplenty with the very lively and animated instructor we were having. One of those jokes that came up was as follows. Apologies to those of
Sunday Weekends
There’s a very useful facility at church: a cry room for worshippers with infants and toddlers! It adjourns to one side of the sanctuary, and reasonably sound proof so that whatever goes on in that room won’t bother the Sunday
Hannah on the Homestead
Playing the Frontierville Facebook game has been a bit of a bonding activity for me and Hannah at home. I’m quite certain that she doesn’t understand what the game’s about, but she’s attracted to its colorful visuals and folksy and
Finally! More Hannah + Daddy Pictures!
I finally completed the last day of the certification course on basic practical counseling this afternoon, and boy – has it been utterly draining! Not in the physical sense, but learning the procedures for counseling and suicide assessment intervention, the
