Happy Feet (2006) – on rental. There were two Penguin-esque animated films released within 9 months of each other just 3 years ago: one was Happy Feet, the other Surf’s Up – and that’s not counting still Madagascar which had

Open Season (2006) – on rental. Ling was asking the other day if I could start renting a few more animated films that she can watch with Hannah at home. So, I’ve been looking through the past couple of years

Simple Joys – Part 2

Posted on 27 Oct 200918 Apr 2010   by Ling

It is easy to make Hannah smile and laugh. Jasmine has been saying that she’s a happy baby. That’s probably the reason. :) Recently, I discovered that tapping a pillow can trigger laughter from her. I managed to capture it

Lost in Translation

Posted on 26 Oct 2009   by CY

As part of the preparation for my upcoming staff-exchange trip to Japan in December this year, I’ve been translating about 30 hours worth of lecture material into, well, Japanese. The students I’ll be lecturing do know English, but – or

Ooooh. More netbooks!

Posted on 25 Oct 200919 Jan 2017   by CY

There’s a large wave of netbooks showing up in preorder listings off Amazon and flyers here since Windows 7’s release last Thursday, and boy do they look tempting LOL. Many of them have somewhat similar specifications – they possess 11.6

Droolmeister

Posted on 25 Oct 20095 Apr 2010   by CY

You’d be surprised at the one thing we burn through faster for Hannah than anything else – and it’s not diapers. It’s tissue paper! One thing she does a lot when she’s in her cutesy mode is drool, especially all

Sunday Brunch in Dress

Posted on 25 Oct 2009   by CY

Now that we’re bringing Hannah to Sunday morning service, it’s opportunity galore for Ling to dress her up in Sunday’s best. Here’s a dress that Ann brought Hannah during a visit in the first few weeks:       At the

Windows 7, BK-styled

Posted on 24 Oct 2009   by CY

Windows 7 has been finally released just a few days ago. I wasn’t quite so “bo eng” (that’s ‘not so free’ in Hokkien, Matt :)) to have queued up at midnight to be the first in Singapore to get a

In Her Shoes

Posted on 24 Oct 200914 Mar 2018   by CY

In Her Shoes (2005) – on rental. This was a pleasant find on DVD rental that arrived together with The Clone Wars several evenings ago. And fortunately too, as In Her Shoes was a wonderfully sweet and thoughtful film that

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Posted on 23 Oct 200914 Mar 2018   by CY

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) – on rental. There’s a lot of bad films based off great franchises, but few of them have been as painful watching as The Clone Wars has been. The original trilogy of Star Wars

Oh no no no no….

Posted on 22 Oct 2009   by Ling

Toyota just unveiled their new hybrid luxury sedan called the ‘Sai’. The Hokkien in me bursts into laughter when I read about it on the papers. Would any self-respecting ‘towkay’ (boss in Hokkien) buy this car? ‘Sai’ in Hokkien means

Baby's Apparel

Posted on 22 Oct 2009   by Ling

Hannah received considerable amount of clothes as newborn gifts from our parents, relatives, friends and colleagues. And I noticed that many of them were designed to be worn for outings. Hannah seldom got to step out of the house in
