Posted on 22 Jan 201014 Mar 2018   by CY

Red Cliff (2008) – on HD. I didn’t enjoy John Woo’s mega-budget production of the famous Chinese novel, and blogged about it then in a post here last year in April. But when the Blu-ray edition of the two films

Public Enemies

Public Enemies (2009) – on rental. Now this was another big budget super-hyped film on last year’s movie screenings, but also a production I skipped at the cinema. I liked the subject material, but was less sure about the associated

When a newborn baby joins your family unit, the changes and transformations at home aren’t just centered on your spending habits, shared time with your partner, or meal times. One thing that visibly changes is the way you converse! Specifically,

Following up on a thread of queries in the other post, here’s a couple of photos showing how our Britax: Omega car seat is buckled up for Hannah. I think Ling will probably post a commentary on the pictures when

Eyes Like Her Mum

Posted on 18 Jan 201018 Apr 2010   by CY

Ling was remarking on Saturday a few days ago that weekends were really starting to feel like weekends again for her. How’s that? Well, prior to her returning to work, every day seemed like the preceding one. There were several

Hannah: “Dah DAAAAAHHHH Di!”

Posted on 17 Jan 201019 Jan 2010   by CY

And Ling’s not thrilled! No kidding – Hannah has learned to call Daddy first before Mommy LOL. Not that her diction’s perfect yet though, but it sure is sounding really close. She won’t say the words on demand too regardless
