My bed residents



Meet my bed residents... Yes, I've got an interview on Wednesday for the Edinburgh A&E job... and I really should be preparing for the interview... instead, I'm busy msn-ing and taking photos of my the inhabitants of my lovely bed... Let me introduce them... starting with the photo on the right (from left to right)- Mr Snowman, Elmo and Sheepy. The 3 of them have a special place on my bed whilst the rest of the clan sit on top of the chest outside my room. I know it's not right to show favouritism, but I can't help it. The three of them are special. Ok, I guess they're really cute (in my opinion), but that's not it. They each carry with them the sentiments of people dear to me-
1. Mr Snowman was a gift from SC. She had a Mr Snowman in her room and everytime I was there, I had to cuddle him... and one fine day, I found Mr Snowman on my bed! I thought someone had played a prank and kidnapped SC's Mr Snowman and put him on my bed... cos he looked exactly like SC's Mr Snowman! Complete with dirt on nose! But it was a case of mistaken identity. Sweet SC had bought me Mr Snowman's twin. Actually, they look so alike I reckon he must be a clone! Btw, he's the softest, squishiest creature ever! I won't go into the details of my favourite parts of his anatomy...

2. Elmo was a gift from "the nasals"... yup, the bunch of secondary school friends whom I treasure so much to this day. Just before I left for the UK, we had a get-together session and they presented me with an elmo cake that they had made together. I was most touched! And at the airport, I was given elmo... the little red creature himself to take on board the flight. He's been with me all these years, through good times and bad... I'm sure he's got some of my dried up tears on his torso! And btw, my elmo's a haemophiliac - it's my explanation for his bright red fur. Poor Elmo!

3. Sheepy once lived in Takashimaya departmental store in S'pore. He travelled a long way to the UK with his purchaser and guardian to the UK in July 2004. The first time we met was on the day of my graduation. He's no longer as white as he used to be, but I love him to bits. Back to Sheepy's guardian- I love her to bits too... yup, even more than Sheepy... that really does say a lot. That's the reason why sheepy even has a solo photo... to emphasise his status in my bed-dom.

Now it's back to the "questions they could ask me at interview"... I've come up with a list of questions (not exhaustive). That's a tenth of the problem solved. I now need to come up with the answers.

Thank you! =) If Elmo, Sheepz and snowman are lonely, we could add a giraffey to provide them with company, or maybe you could introduce them to your old time friend Sandy who's still patiently waiting for you in the "refrigerator". =)
