Probably the Best Caricaturist in Singapore

Jit Leong was telling me last week he would be involved in an event at Marina Square on 20 and 27 dec. As we were not in town last week, so decided to bring the family down to give him some support - and get some caricatures done for free at the same time :p (by the way, his fees aren't cheap ! but it's worth it)

Since he would only be there from 3pm, we went for lunch first, before walking slowing around to look for him (he told me the event organiser placed him in a secluded corner). When we found him, he was probably just setting up stall and since everyone was just 'looking and seeing' we just plonked Jaslynn and Justin onto the seats to start the ball rolling.










The kids were shy at first, even though they've went to Uncle Jit Leong's house a few times to play with 嘉乐 and 嘉喜. They warmed up pretty quickly and soon 'smiled' for Uncle Jit Leong to draw them some nice caricatures.


Justin had to keep his 'smile' on for quite a while.


Then it was Jaslynn's turn, giving her usual 'smile'.


Finally done and they were quick to spot the nearby 'playground' at Kiddy Palace.


What a waste Jaslynn did not flash this smile earlier.




While waiting for their caricatures to dry, they chanced upon some animal kiddy rides, and Justin also took the opportunity to display some of his moves while on the move.


All done !

The Mr Men Show

Brought the kids to North Point for dinner today and saw that a stage was set up in the atrium. While walking past, saw a lot of kids sitting on the floor in front of the stage. The stage helpers asked if the kids would like to watch the show, before I could answer, they were already seated on the floor.

I remembered reading lots of the little Mr Men and Miss series comic books when I was in Primary school. Thought they might have become obsolete due to the nature of gadgets and toys young kids have nowadays. Really great to be able to see them in the 'flesh'.

There was Mr Bump, Miss Naughty, Mr Rude, Miss Sunshine and Mr Happy.

The kids helping Mr Men to decorate the stage for a christmas party.

Justin and the beanstalk

I remember when I was still in primary school, my science teacher gave us some green beans to grow for 1 of the lessons on plants. Dunno why, my plant always can't seem to last more than a few weeks.

Nowadays, they're starting this process even earlier. Justin was given some green beans when he was in K1. Not only has the plant lasted a few months (and still growing), it has even sprouted 2 pods ! Take a look !!

Maybe Justin is waiting for his bean stalk to grow into the skies !
