Art for your Kids


Another passion of mine is art!

I would draw my own comics series, like Tin Tin. It's a pity I throw quite a bit away during spring cleaning some years ago. Here's what left:

I also love drawing the latest cartoon series on TV like ghostbusters and ninja turtle!
(My very own "How to Draw Cartoon" book)

Here are activities you can do with your kids:
  • Give them a blank book or my Nothing Book, tell a story and ask them to draw it. You will be surprised how different the perspective of your kid can be from adults!
  • Give them a blank book or my Nothing Book, give them some ideas to kick start their own storybook or comic.
  • Draw some shapes and ask them to imagine and expand their own drawing from there.
Hope you enjoy them!

Mount Faber

Mount Faber is such a gem! Other than the usual view that you get of Singapore from the top, you will also find very interesting historic stories about the hill at Mount Faber. Try to find these when you are up there:


1) Do you know that there are only 5 official Merlions in Singapore and 1 of them is in Mount Faber. You can see 1 other big Merlion from Mount Faber too!


2) Spot a "ship" that is "stranded" on the top of this "mountain".


3) Spot a red and white communication tower... don't mistaken it for Tokyo Towers!


4) A lot of people didn't know this beautiful building (below) is in Mount Faber (Pender Road). It's the Danish Seaman Church!

5) Lastly, you can find a few of Singapore's unique Black and White colonial houses on the way up.
