The ultimate regional Toon Creator Awards winner could even see his or her creation broadcast on Cartoon Network in November 2009. Whoo-hoo! So get those creative cells working!
Though my boys were ‘underage’, Keatkeat tried it out.
OMG!!!!!
It was so cool!
Completely awesome….
We were spoilt for choices when it come to the effects, sounds, motion, etc.
But seriously, it truly takes time and effort man! We took 30mins just to figure out the unlimited possibilities of combining this and that just for the first scene. But once we got the hang of it, we took less than 20mins to create the remaining 12 scenes!!! Easy Peasy.
Still its all fun!
For those of you who missed out my ‘Making it Official’ post, Keatkeat is known as Zac now. *wink* Have 38 seconds to spare? Watch his creation won’t you and leave a comment for him, so that I can relate to him?
So far 27 has viewed his creation. He is checking his number of viewers every now and then, seeing the number increases just makes him really happy.

Angeline Foong is my name. Making people happy is still my aim — that part never changed.
Some of you have known me here since 2007, when this was a place I poured my heart into as I raised my two boys — the tantrums, the milestones, the 'unconventional' parenting moments I couldn't help but write down. I stepped away from this blog for over 10 years. Life, and my boys, grew up. Men now.
But somewhere in those years, something else grew too. Watching my own family up close — really up close — taught me that most of our struggles, with our kids, our partners, our parents, even ourselves, come down to one thing: we don't always understand the person in front of us, or why they do what they do.
So I went looking for a way to change that. What I found — and eventually developed myself — is a tool called the Numbers Decoder. It uses something as simple as a birthdate to reveal how a person is wired: how they think, how they connect, how they need to be communicated with. Once you understand that about someone, you can choose how you show up for them — instead of guessing, or worse, assuming they should just be like you.
Today, as a Relationship Consultant & Coach, helping people navigate the relationships that matter most — with partners, family, colleagues, and themselves — through 1-to-1 consultations.
This blog is where I'll be sharing that journey again — this time through real case studies from the people I get to help. Same Angeline, same belief that no relationship issue is unsolvable with enough understanding and patience. Just a much bigger definition of 'family' now.
Welcome back, old friends. And welcome, new ones.
