Angry?

Didi brought back the darnest soft toys...there's no exception this time again. I feel like reconstructing the facial features of this angry bird, kekeke :P

This is a green spider

This is a green spider...Well, it's not exactly my toy though. Brought it back from my workplace, together with a few hand puppets, to wash. It's certainly much cleaner now after soaking in detergent, much scrubbing and going into the dryer :P It will be packed into ziploc bags soon...

Spot the similarities

Picture sent by XF. Love this pic lots! It's Sidney and Monkie :P Notice the similarities? But one is in Basel and the other at home...

What do we see?

Picture sent by XF :P It's Purple and Pinky! ...We peer with our little eyes. What do we see?

Slacker at home

My dear good old Slacker at home with all his friends :)

Slacker at Takashimaya

Went shopping, it's so good to get away from the weekend crowd :P I went to the gifts section of Takashimaya and a familiar face caught my attention immediately! It's Slacker! Went over and gave him a little squeeze. He's chubbier as compared to my Slacker at home but he still has got that same pair of silly eyes, big nose and round tummy :) I didn't know they are still selling Slacker :P

Rune Rune Rune!

Photograph sent by XF...15 July 2010, 2.03am. Miss squeezing this Swedish Moose and hugging him to sleep :P Didn't realise Rune has got a sweet smile too :)

I usually have two alarm set in the morning during the weekdays, well, nowadays I seem to have three, would receive occasional texts from XF in the wee hours of the morning, supposed to wake up and get ready for work. It's night time over in Basel and it's bedtime for her (kinda wish it's still bedtime for me when I receive those texts from her, wish I could just sleep a little longer, lazy piggy :P)

Build a bear

Here's Happy, hope he will spread happiness to his owner and all around him!

Decided to dress up a teddy on display with a pair of boxer, sexy dude :P

I have received two teddy bears from "Build-a-bear Workshop" as gifts over the past years but never have I ever tried building or making a bear myself. Got the chance to create one today! First, you choose the teddy bear, then you get to stuff and puff them up, told the lady to make it fatter :P Next, you stuff hearts inside and these hearts represent wishes for the person you are giving this bear to. Ha, got to brush the puffed up teddy bear at a cutsy corner too! The teddy bear would be all ready to be dressed up by then, great selection of outfit from the shop. Well, it wouldn't be called a teddy bear if it didn't have a name, we chose a name and here we have it, we have created "Happy"! Last but not least, there's also a birth certificate of the teddy bear. I was totally thrilled by the whole process, enjoyed it like a silly little childish gal. I think Angeline was kinda embarrassed by by my childish behaviour at times, haha!

Reunion

Pinkie came from San Francisco, travelled to Basel, spent winter there and then came back home a few weeks ago to reunite with Purple. Pinkie is here to stay, XF went back to Basel yesterday...

Bear hugz

He caught my attention today and without much hesitation, I bought it. Well, it's not for me though lest my mummy would nag about space for all my soft toys :P Gave him a big squeeze and a huge hug before he was being wrapped up to be given away as a gift. Hope that he will always bring warmth and lotsa smiles to others...

Freaky Purple

Blogging with Purple!

Nestled amongst old friends and a new friend!

As I came home from the airport that day, the first thing that caught my attention was Purple! He was sitting on the sofa with some other soft toys that belong to my sis. The very next thing I did was to give him a squeeze and sniffed his nose, still got the same smell (For goodness sake, grow up gal!). My sis is back home and so is Purple! Miss ya, freaky Purple!

My sis has been kinda busy being her good friend’s bridesmaid and meeting up with friends and all since she came home, real active social animal these couple of days :P But glad there was time for family meals together. She’s flying back to Basel this weekend…that’s fast but glad she came back this June vacation. But well, Purple will be staying home this time :P Goodness, Sis really ate a big piece of cake from Awfully Chocolate last night! But heh, I must admit it's quite nice, awfully chocolate and banana! She got the one with banana in it :P

While working on this blog post, Angeline, my wonderful colleague and buddy, delivered some of my work stuff from our workplace to my place. Muack muack, love her!! Well, need to get out from denial soon and get started on some serious work this weekend. Hopefully, I am determined enough :P Finally get to see my black planner, kinda a bit hopeless without it at times, can’t depend much on my memory nowadays.

Sunny baby?

Bought this little soft toy at the airport in Bangkok, it just had a way of catching my attention, maybe of its resemblance of Sunny baby and its fur is so soft, just like Sunny’s. Hmm, it’s probably just that his eyes are different from those of Sunny’s, very different…you know, it just feels so good looking into Sunny baby’s endearing eyes : )

I'm sorry...Bobo

Dearest Bobo…I remember when I first saw you at the mall, I knew I gotta bring you home. That was like maybe 18 years ago. I decided to bring you home and I still remember I was hugging you in the public bus that I took home, so full of pride and joy that I got such a chubby and cute teddy bear! You were really huge and I was worried that I might fall in the bus while standing. Well, you had the chance to wear a few of my mini T-shirts, some still a bit too tight for you but you never complained. Frankly speaking, you looked better without any clothing, just your bare self :) That fateful day came when I was doing my spring cleaning in my room and my mummy was nagging about the number of soft toys that I had in my room. I did not know why I had made that silly decision to allow my mummy to bring you to the Salvation Army. Thinking back, I am still laden with guilt…you were always so huggable and would always sit quietly at the end of my bed. You were somebody…You are still in my heart…Hugz
