After a storm
One thing that’s changing around The Rivervale is that Hannah’s pair of lungs are getting, well, healthier by the day! Right after birth, when she was in one of her moods, all that we’d typically hear would be whimpers. These
More Hannah photos
We didn’t watch NDP on the TV – Hannah wanted her dinner. So I occupied myself taking more pictures – but this time with the Nikon 50mm f1.8D lens. This is the cheapest lens in Nikon’s line up, but is
Hannah on ND
The weather looked better on National Day, so we planned to head to Punggol Park to take some family photographs. We had everything nailed down pat – timing, equipment and baby things to bring along. Unfortunately, the most important subject

Getting packed
Funnily, I don’t usually have difficulties deciding what to pack for trips out of the country. I have a handy spreadsheet that lists the standard items that go into luggage and/or hand-carry. Thereafter, the only thing that needs to get
By the Roadside
There was a small jungle fire at Hougang some weeks ago opposite Punggol Park which turn the patch of trees and grassland into an ugly mess of black and brown. Ling on her way home yesterday though spotted Lallang growing
Armor Class = –10
Check this out: body armor for your expensive DSLR, or in the case below for the D300: Niftly called ‘Camera Armor’, the manufacturer’s blib states that: “Custom Engineered for the Nikon D300, Camera Armor is an always on, protection system
