Public Photography

Posted on 1 Oct 200926 Dec 2018   by CY

Posted on 1 Oct 2009   by Ling

Must be the global warming that’s making the days here in the tropics unbearable. I hope that more folks will do their part in cutting down the carbon emission. As for me, I make an effort to totally switch off

Sleeping Postures

Posted on 30 Sep 2009   by CY

Hannah has been adopting new sleeping postures from the 3 months 2 weeks onwards, e.g. being able to turn over and sleep on her side overnight, and of late too, getting her feet stuck in between the guard railings of

Teaching Mathematics

Posted on 29 Sep 2009   by CY

An interesting video was circulated around today. But I didn’t quite understand what it was about initially, but since everyone else around me was laughing at the video, I gave it a second look. There’s sound only in the right

Thinking Aloud (follow-up)

Posted on 29 Sep 2009   by CY

There’s an episode in Everybody Loves Raymond, a comedy series that we rewatch over dinner regularly where Raymond gets into hot soup after he tells a lie to his wife Debra, and when quizzed, he has to tell more lies,

Photographing Hannah

Posted on 28 Sep 20095 Apr 2010   by CY

I’ve blogged about the difficulty faced when taking pictures of Hannah. When she’s interacting with us and isn’t in one of her grumbling moods, she’d coo delightfully, giggle and generally be cute. It’s easy to take pictures of her being

17 Again (2009) – on rental. The length of my DVD home rental queue fluctuates quite a bit over any given period of time. At times I could have as many as a several dozen films and TV series queued

Sunday Afternoon

Posted on 27 Sep 20095 Apr 2010   by CY

Brunch with Baby

Posted on 27 Sep 2009   by CY

Hannah’s has just passed her 3 months 3 weeks now, and we figured the time should be right to bring her out of the house during weekends to malls, shopping centers and the like for meals. It’s weird how your

That thing you do

Posted on 27 Sep 2009   by Ling

Babies have a way of stealing one’s heart away. Even the way they cry can be so adorable. :) Hannah and I had some sweet, endearing moments and I wanted to pen some down in case I forget someday. 1)
