Baby Names – Chinese Version – Again

Posted on 17 Mar 201325 Feb 2017   by CY

If there’s one thing that Chinese-teacher parents can help that many other parents can’t, it’s in helping think of Chinese names for new-borns! Can’t believe that it’s been almost exactly four years ago when we had this same exercise for

Hannah – The Little Helper :)

Posted on 6 Mar 20136 Mar 2013   by Ling

Today marks the 3rd time Hannah volunteered to scrub the bathtub she used for showering. I actually had to curb her enthusiasm by reducing the frequency she does the scrubbing! Otherwise she would want to scrub it every night! Not

Hannah @ 25mm – Part 1

Posted on 4 Mar 201325 Feb 2017   by CY

The Panasonic 25mm f1.4 I picked up a month ago is the fastest lens I’ve got in my micro-four-thirds line-up. Having seen the kind of bokeh our Ang Mo bud’s f1.4 lens can produce on a full-frame DSLR, and I’d

Posted on 24 Feb 201324 Feb 2013   by Ling

Bad dreams I’ve been having bad dreams lately. They were not just those upsetting kind of dreams but lucid ones. My mind was fully awake during the dreaming and I had control over my own character in the dreams. I

Hannah’s new hair cut

Posted on 24 Feb 201325 Feb 2017   by CY

Ling has to trim Hannah’s fringes ever so often, so we decided to put her through a proper haircut for a change. Just for fun, we went with the $10 / 10 minute haircut. She was very well-behaved, possibly due

Hannah singing <好宝宝>

Posted on 24 Feb 2013   by Ling

Since the start of nursery this year, Hannah has shown a greater willingness and interest in conversing and singing in Chinese. I’m ashamed to say mommy and daddy didn’t really do anything much to encourage her in that direction except
