End-of-year Vacation v2

Posted on 11 Feb 201011 Feb 2010   by CY

Coco Chanel (TV, 2008) and Coco avant Chanel (Film, 2009) – on rental. The only thing I know about Chanel really is the fashion giant has something called “Chanel No. 5”, though what exactly that item is I had no

Sextet of Torment

Posted on 9 Feb 201010 Feb 2010   by CY

There’s an absolutely horrid gauntlet of traffic lights I have to get through every morning at 7:00 AM, and it’s the series of traffic junctures from the infant care center I drop Hannah off at and then Ling. They’re marked

A couple of months ago last year I started thinking about our year-end 2010 vacation, what with Ling haven’t been out of the country for a while now since becoming pregnant. June looks likely to be out as the coming

Mommy & Daughter

Posted on 7 Feb 20107 Feb 2010   by CY

Last month I wrote an entry reporting that while Hannah’s all me in mannerisms and general looks, her eyes take after Ling’s. Well, here’s proof – got Hannah to pose with Mommy, with Ling making her laugh.:) Looks like Hannah

What’s Cooking @ Rivervale

Posted on 6 Feb 20106 Feb 2010   by CY

Another change at home since Hannah ‘popped’ 8 months ago has been cooking at home for the both of us. Before Hannah, we’d typically home cook perhaps 3-4 times a week. Since June last year, Ling very rarely cooks dinner

Baby Faces at 50mm – Part 3

Posted on 6 Feb 2010   by CY

New m4/3s!

Posted on 4 Feb 20103 Apr 2018   by CY

The micro four-thirds format sure is picking up steam. I blogged about the E-P1 last year in June. But as attractive as the size and sensor format of the camera was, I wasn’t tempted. The first iteration of Olympus’ design
