The sick and flu-lish
It has been two weeks and I’m still not recovered from this flu bug ravaging in me. I believe I got it from Hannah (from finishing the leftovers of her food). Then I passed it on to Yang when we
“What the Frak…?!”
No no – no vulgarity intended! :) ‘Frak’ is a substitute swear word that’s used extensively in the now-concluded Battlestar Galactica TV series. I’ve blogged about the series here before – it remains the most powerful sci-fiction drama series I’ve
Integrity, Manipulation and Ethics
There’s an interesting debate running online about the use of a new controversial feature in the upcoming Adobe Photoshop CS5. Specifically, the “Content-Aware Fill” feature that will apparently allow manipulation of specific parts of an image with ease. Just to
My Sister’s Keeper
My Sister’s Keeper (2009) – on rental. The other film to arrive alongside Hachiko: A Dog’s Story was My Sister’s Keeper. I was only vaguely aware of this adaption of a book of the same title on account that during
Hachiko: A Dog’s Story
Hachiko: A Dog’s Story (2009) – on rental. Maybe it was because I was still feeling ill yesterday Saturday afternoon when I gave this supposed cry-fest of a film a go. Long story short, I thought the film really wasn’t
New Toys: Four Phases

Diva Queen
As Hannah’s grows each day, the both of us are on the lookout for new things and behavior we’re seeing coming out of her. It’s not just her vocal utterances, but also the way she perceives and wants to interact
Mozart’s Contemporaries
I think many piano learners here would have gone the route of learning Haydn, Mozart or Beethoven sonatas at some point. The three are among the most widely known of ‘classical’-period music composers from the mid 1700s to early 1800s.
Lessons Never Learnt
There’s a lesson that I never learn: and it’s “Never repair your computer when you’re sick.” Why? Because I start bungling and forgetting things – and typically personal data gets lost somewhere in the mess. Ling messaged yesterday morning to
Law Abiding Citizen
Law Abiding Citizen (2009) – on rental. Imagine a film where there’s a brilliant super-villain who’s always two steps ahead of his adversaries. He outsmarts them at every turn, and plays puppet master as he leads his opponents through a
Panasonic HDC-TM700
Another post about toys.:) I picked up my first HD Camcorder – the Panasonic HDC-SD20 – more than a year ago mostly for Hannah’s coming into our family. I was initially a little reticent about having my home-video processing work
Hannah’s Blurb – Vol. 4
I realized I haven’t done an updated entry on the fourth volume of Vita Una since posting about it more than a month ago here. The volume was titled Vita Una IV: To One that covered Hannah going onto one
