Preview: The Winged Tiger in Singapore

The Winged Tiger in Singapore (December 2010) is the sequel to Steve the Dog & The Winged Tiger (March 2010).

Preview: The Winged Tiger in Singapore #1

In the first book, we saw how The Winged Tiger, a well-dressed Chicago Bull and Dot were able to get Steve the Dog, a couch potato dog, out of his cozy Chicago apartment for the very first time to see how many wonderful things exist in the real world. Until Steve the Dog met Dot, he had simply lived through his widescreen TV set, the internet and all things electronic. The story illustrates with big full page images all the wonderful things in the city of Chicago that might inspire various career paths from architect to zoologist. At the end of the first book, Steve the Dog becomes a Renaissance dog interested in learning and doing a wide variety of things in the real world.

In the sequel set in the island country of Singapore, Dot and Steve the Dog head for Singapore to meet Emily and Rocket, who is a couch potato dog living in a high rise flat and never leaving his own apartment. Rocket loves video games and watching TV and being on the Internet, but has also never left his apartment.

The rest of the book shows how Rocket gets introduced to all the wonderful things in his own country that inspires him to consider a wide variety of career paths from medicine to designing amusement parks to becoming an environmental engineer.

Both of these books are intended for people of all ages and all cultures anywhere in the world. Although they take place in specific locations, the message in these books is truly universal and is designed to inspire all people of all ages, to simply balance their lives between all the electronic distractions of the modern world with real hands on living experience.

Raffles Girls Primary

My impression of teaching cartooning in Raffles Girls Primary is like going to a branded college. Although this is not the first girls school I have taught (I have taught in Nanyang Girls' High School and CHIJ sec before), this is the first girls primary school that I have stepped my foot in.

There are 5 sessions of 2 hours in my Rediscover Cartoon and Comics Making classes. In these workshop, they are taught the basis of cartoon and manga style drawing, drawing clothes, background, designing their characters to writing script and inking their comics page. Yes, all in a short 10 hours of lesson.

In the 5th session, we actually watched a cartoon movie (Laputa, The Castle In The Sky) together. They have a good time watching the movie, or perhaps it is myself who really enjoying the show.
