Teaching Mathematics

Posted on 29 Sep 2009   by CY

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

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)

Majesty 2: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim

Posted on 26 Sep 200914 Mar 2018   by CY

Cross-posting from the other blog. There’s a lot of fantasy-based real-time strategy games available on retail, but none of them are quite like Majesty 2. I played the first game – aptly just called Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim –

Age is catching up liao

Posted on 25 Sep 2009   by Ling

Haiz, another year older. I can feel it more acutely these days whenever I bathe Hannah. My back would be aching by the time I get up from the floor. Perhaps it was also due to myself not exercising frequently

Ling’s Guide to Changing Diapers!

Posted on 24 Sep 200916 Feb 2010   by Ling

For many new moms and dads, changing diaper is a breeze after a few practices. :) Babies, like us, like to be clean. Nobody wants to sit or move around in his/her poo. And babies almost always cry to get

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Posted on 24 Sep 200914 Mar 2018   by CY

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) – on rental. It’s telling for a film if the only good portions of it are in the first 10 minutes. Wolverine begins with a flash back to 1845 where Logan a.k.a. Wolverine and his almost
