Merry Christmas & Happy 2011!

Snowmi the tropical polar bear (top right) and Xiao Hui the Supreme Leader (bottom right) went over to celebrate Xmas. Snowmi meets his Nici big brother Booze for the first time! We also have a new friend, yet to be named bear, from Coffee Bean.

Snowman Macaron!

Xiao Hui and Coffee Bean Bear realise they have something in common.

Booze and Snowmi bond over pedicure tips and latest dandy fashion trends. Life is good! ;)

Chillin'

Groovy Vinyl Records

We dug out an old vinyl record player from the storeroom, and a whole bunch of old dusty awesome records.

A Place to Call Home

Monkey and Hindergaard finally moved into their sparkling new house.

The bed may look a tad too feminine but the duo is quite happy with it.

Good thing monkeys are fond of heights

Monkey adheres to a strict skincare regime.

Holding his favourite banana, Monkey ponders on life by the window.

The only gripe Hindergaard had with their new place is the lack of good, solid food in the the kitchen

They watch TV all day when their owner is not at home.

And a little role-playing for Hindergaard after a few drinks. Hindergaard is a St Bernard from the Swiss Alps, a rescue dog with a mini barrel of whiskey hanging round his neck. He tends to take a few sips from time to time.

What The Duck at Home

Lack of updates lately.. WTD lounging at home after arriving in Singapore from US

Ever tried being interrogated by a mean-looking duck with pouty lips?

WTD meets the yet-to-be-named Tuna Sushi Plush Toy for the first time and resists the temptation to dip it in wasabi.

Old Friend We Never Got to Know - Hungover Merlion

Meet 谎言 huang yen（literal translation 'A Lie'), a cute little Merlion soft toy that has has recently resurfaced in our household.

Huang yen looks a little dishevelled and hungover in this picture, after a night of partying and puking.

The Singapore Merlion was actually a marketing tool conceived by Mr Fraser Brunner for the logo of the Singapore Tourism Board several decades ago to.. sell some souvenirs (I guess Singapore really lacks identifiable natural geographical icons). It has a lion's head and mermaid/fish's body and the most famous Merlion at the Merlion Park near One Fullerton, much loved by Japanese tourists, ~~pukes~~ sprouts water from its mouth.

Examples of Merlion Marketing - Merlion Lychee flavoured cookies..

A Visit to Himu's - Part 2

财神到！！

Stuffed toys wishing everyone a Happy Lunar New Year!!!

A Visit to Himu's - Part 1

A catch up with Himu's stuffed toys at their new home on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Xiao Hui (Little Grey) aka 灰爷 is the supreme leader of her soft toys. ;)

Snowmi giving the visitors a guided tour of the house as his owner Himu does her domestic chores in the background.

The gang reads up on Tarot & Feng Shui in their free time. Thanks to Himu's extensive book collection on such subjects.

They have much interest in culinary books as well.

Disturbing entry for Keyao Pig

Likewise for Xiao Hui.

Booze the Moose's Nightmare

Now, the citizens of stuffed toy land are usually apathetic with regards to politics, even more so with foreign politics. But the recent hooha with the financial meltdown and US presidential elections have prompted the toys to read up a bit more on world issues. To Booze the Moose's horror, the Republicans actually made 'moose-hunting' sound like a cool hobby for the VP candidate. Hunting, as a sport, is SO wrong!

Summer Time

The relentless heat is becoming unbearable, particularly for the clothed stuffed toys; most of them hide out in air-conditioned rooms these days, and were mostly engaged in non-strenuous recreational activities.

Keyao Pig takes a well-deserved bath after weeks of complaining that he smelt of stale hair.

Meanwhile, Michi has become a host for ToyVoyagers Dio & Benni. Dio is from Netherlands and Benni is a German bear who just came over from New Zealand. Highlights of their time here.

The net savvy toys have noticed a cute sheep named Shaun who's sharing his lifestyle pictures on flickr. :)

Monkey & Hindegard

Monkey makes a rare appearance on Stuffed Toy Land. Monkey is at his new place, with Hindegard watching TV behind him

Joyous Gathering

Gingy & Gui Zai went over to Michi's Hse of Evil for some initiation before they venture into the wild wild world (before they left for Dundee). Cheese was there as well for an extreme makeover session (skin renewing spa therapy to wash off her London filth >_<).
