A Day in the Life of a Duck

WTD resting his tired legs after a morning of shopping at Orchard ION

US-born WTD has slowly come to terms with the Singaporean Chinese's love for roasted duck. He's learnt to channel his attention away at Chinese restaurants whenever he sees such acts of atrocities.

Duck-in-a-roll.

Catching a movie in town and enjoying it. Though he is quite unhappy with the lack of elevation of the cinema seating. Not very duck-friendly.

Yes. He went to watch The Green Hornet, of all movies.

He's spending his first Chinese Lunar New year in Singapore. Pretty psyched to learn about the 12 Chinese Zodiac animals. Why weren't ducks included?

This will be the year of the Metal Rabbit.

Firecrackers!


Perhaps 2 of these can propel him to the skies.
Alright, all this rabbit decoration is really getting way overboard.

Tintin Shop in Singapore!!!

Crowded Tintin Shop in bustling Chinatown

Tintin, Captain Haddock and SNOWY has landed in Singapore! Our camera phone simply doesn't do this shop any justice.We are absolutely in love with the shop and its extensive collection of Tintin merchandise. Michi grew up reading Tintin books and yes we do have a Snowy in our family of toys as well... just that we love it too much to let it come out of the plastic wrapping.

Much love for Snowy


Snowy in all sizes

Collectors' Snowy plush! Poor Snowy!

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! ;)

What the Duck's relative visits for Xmas


What the Duck's brother (right) recently came from the US for a visit. Looking a tad jet-lagged from the time difference. But they wasted no time in trying out their new fisheye lens!

Wish It Were Christmas Today

Xmas is Coming!

Takashimaya Department Store at Ngee Ann City. Teddy Bear Xmas tree..
Bears are feeling a bit down from the lack of elbow space and staring at giggly girls taking pictures of them daily.

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.

WTD the Oracle

Inspired by Paul the Octopus, WTD (What The Duck) embraced his inner psychic within and ventured out of the house to follow his calling and test his new-found prowess.

WTD had an epiphany

... and his subsequent transformation.






He travelled far and wide, impressing everyone he came across with his uncanny insight and impeccable fashion sense, and his stature grew. He was received by all with opened arms, and welcomed with free clothing, buffet food, and medicinal-tasting beverages.



"Lead us out of the dark!" they pleaded. All these expectations and draining of psychic energy began to take a toll on WTD. To be continued..


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.

Trying to reduce the love handles with OSIM uZap Mini.
