Reflections of parents of not-so-young-kids-anymore
Though Hannah’s been ill over the last 2 weeks, there’s still at least one behavioral aspect that we’re still having a reasonably easy time in – and that’s feeding her. The pictures below basically show you what I mean: i.e.
Hannah has been down with a mild runny nose for two weeks now, and it’s been causing her to be more irritable than usual with the two main effects centered on more wailing for attention, and also somewhat harder feeds.
There’s a Chinese phrase that the both of us – ok maybe just me LOL – at home like to use to exhibit mock exasperation especially when we come home from work. It’s this: “我不要干了!”, and it’s enunciated as though
One marvelous thing about the 14-42mm kit lens on the E-PL1 is its macro ability, and minimum focusing distance of just 0.25m. While it’s still not quite enough for you to shoot bugs, it’ll be about alright for quick n’
Truth to tell, while all the other digital compact cameras I’ve had invariably come with special effect filters, I’ve never really got into any of them before. The E-PL1 comes with half a dozen ‘art’ filters, including a couple of
I wanted to called it Shepherd’s Pie but read somewhere on the Internet that the dish uses lamb. Makes sense. Since beef is used here, it should be called Cottage Pie. Oh well. Eh, this recipe is named thus as

Hannah has been introduced to foods which tasted sweet (e.g. pumpkin, carrot, sweet potato, fruits), sour (e.g. yogurt and apple) or a little bitter (e.g. spinach and eggplant). Salt has been left out in her diet as it is not
I’d been taking random pictures and looking with untrained eyes off images. To sum up in a sentence what the image quality in the E-PL1 looks like to me: it’s not quite as good as the images off a D300,
Now for the inevitable bug bears. The Olympus Pen m4/3 cameras have got a lot of flak for their contrast-detection AF system. Basically, it’s slow. If you’ve only used DSLRs, the AF hunting the E-PL1 does is gonna be real
Grinding rice grains helps to cut down time required to cook them into soft porridge. It takes a bit of trouble to get it done but the convenience that comes later is worth it. So here’s what I did after
Surprisingly, the E-PL1 can be had for relatively attractive prices here in Singapore though the recommended retail price here is SGD998. The unit with the standard 14-42mm lens can be purchased for as low as SGD900, which while is still
