Posted on 27 Jan 20133 Apr 2018   by CY

Another month, another visit to see the ongoing construction of our new home @ The Minton condo. The site’s Facebook page is quite lively with at least a couple other photographers (besides myself) making regular trips to the place to

Tot Naming – Revisited

Posted on 20 Jan 2013   by CY

Incredibly, it’s been more than 4 years since our blog posts about our choices for our first born child’s name. We should be knowing the gender of Hannah’s sibling soon – probably anytime from a couple more weeks onwards. I’m

Hannah @ LX7 – Part 2

Posted on 19 Jan 201325 Feb 2017   by CY

The last two weeks of weekends had been madly busy for me at work, and I didn’t get to take as many pictures of Hannah as I’d like – apart from a couple using the new LX7 that I bring

Sewing – A Lost Skill?

Posted on 17 Jan 2013   by Ling

I remember we used to have very basic sewing lessons in my secondary school education. Those lessons belonged to the girly subject called Home Economics. The other major component in the subject was cooking. I aced at sewing but fared

Hannah @ LX7 – Part 1

Posted on 13 Jan 201325 Feb 2017   by CY

While the newly acquired LX7 isn’t the smallest compact camera around, it still fits very nicely into the side pockets of the bermudas I wear when we’re out of home on weekend trips. It’s a more discrete photo-taking device than

Panasonic LX7

Posted on 10 Jan 201325 Feb 2017   by CY

Small sensor compact cameras are a bit of in an odd state right now. They can be tiny and low-priced. On the other hand, they’ve also become pretty sandwiched between other competing classes of devices. A key indicator of small

Standoffs

Posted on 7 Jan 201325 Feb 2017   by CY

We wrote in a Melaka post not too long ago that Hannah is still a relatively compliant girl. She’s normally still very willing to listen, accepting of our instructions, and her tantrums – if any at all – rarely last

Les Misérables 2012 vs 1998

Posted on 1 Jan 201314 Mar 2018   by CY

This is one post I have to put on my flame-retardant suit! Even though I’ve heard the musicals, I’ve never seen the stage versions nor had an inclination to – and it’s only because apart from the odd well-known and

Hannah @ 12-50mm

Posted on 29 Dec 20123 Apr 2018   by CY

I just realized that after the at least several thousands of pictures I’ve taken of our girl using the 20mm f1.7 and 30mm f2.8 prime lenses, I’ve hardly made a blog post of the pictures taken using the (boring and

Another update on our new place that’s still in construction @ The Minton condo. There might not be much immediately obvious developments to the project, but when we look harder, we see numerous changes and progress to the condo’s physical

Year in Review – 2012

Posted on 28 Dec 201217 Jan 2020   by CY

There’s yet another sign that time passes by so quickly, and it’s how soon I have to write another end-of-year retrospective post! Every year end I write a long post to reflect on the ‘big’ (e.g. costly and involving technological

Melaka 2012 – Retrospection

If our trips to Melaka and Sugi island has shown us any one thing, it’s that our 3.5 year old girl is ready for further trips outfield. She survived the 4 hour bus journey to/fro Singapore and Melaka very well
