Hannah on Vimeo

Posted on 19 Apr 201019 Apr 2010   by CY

I signed up for a Vimeo account yesterday to see how well it streams HD videos. Here’s a sample, taken on the new TM700 camcorder too of Hannah having lunch yesterday afternoon: The free version of the service that I’m

Hannah on the Couch

Posted on 18 Apr 201018 Apr 2010   by CY

One of the first videos taken of Hannah using the new TM700. This was at about dinner time, indoors and lighting wasn’t so great (a huge thunderstorm just ended, and there was a fierce overcast). It’s not really a great

Panasonic HDC-TM700 – Part 1

Posted on 18 Apr 201029 Nov 2010   by CY

I did a lot of reading on the replacement HDCamcorder I posted about the other week, and opinion sure is divided over two leading models: between the model I’ve been eyeing – the Panasonic HDC-TM700 – and its closest competitor,

“Knock knock”

Posted on 15 Apr 201018 Apr 2010   by CY

It’s not all gloom and misery at home though. Despite that all three of us are sick at home, there’re still many of the usual baby happy and bonding moments we continue to enjoy with Hannah. For instance, Ling observed

The sick and flu-lish

Posted on 14 Apr 201014 Apr 2010   by Ling

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…?!”

Posted on 13 Apr 201013 Apr 2010   by CY

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

Posted on 12 Apr 201012 Apr 2010   by CY

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

Posted on 11 Apr 201014 Mar 2018   by CY

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

Posted on 11 Apr 201014 Mar 2018   by CY

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

Posted on 11 Apr 201011 Apr 2010   by CY

There are four basic phases involved whenever Hannah gets oriented to a new toy. Here’s a case in point: we picked up a toy mobile-phone at Kiddy Palace @ Compass Point earlier today. The pictures below show the four different

Diva Queen

Posted on 10 Apr 2010   by CY

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

Posted on 10 Apr 2010   by CY

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.
