Feeding Time Pictures

Posted on 29 Jan 201030 Jan 2010   by CY

Hannah @ Shabu-Shi Buffet

Self Service

Baby Sit-Ups!

Posted on 24 Dec 20095 Apr 2010   by CY

There’s always something new we’re learning about Hannah everyday, and it’s just amazing how fast she’s learning and growing. The other day we discovered that she’s learned how to move from a prone lying-down position on her cot to a

Street Pictures

Though I decided to bring along the Sigma 18-250mm lens at the last minute while packing for the trip 9 days ago, funnily I never got round to using the lens. It sat in my luggage bag during my entire
