Hannah in Sepia
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
Yummy Baby Foods: Cottage Pie (Baby’s version)
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

The 5th Taste?
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
Olympus E-PL1 – Part 4
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,
Olympus E-PL1 – Part 3
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
Ground Rice Grains
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

The Green Zone
The Green Zone – at AMK Hub (2010). Incredibly, we’re already in the 11th week of the year and this is only the first theatrical film Ling and I have caught this year! We’d originally intended to catch this show
Olympus E-PL1 – Part 1
I’ve blogged about my interest in a picking up a larger sensor compact camera for some time now, and last month was very excited about the announcement of the E-PL1. It’s strange that the scene has still been dominated by
Play Yard Video
Here’s another video but of a much happier Hannah while playing in the six segment play yard we bought her a week ago, and blogged about here.:) Right in the last few seconds of this video clip Hannah demonstrates a
