Day 269 - Snowflake the hobo

Today Snowflake showed me how to rock the hobo chic look.

Day 268 - Room of rilakkumas

I was going through the photos on my phone when I came across this screenshot I took a while back that made me chuckle.

Now, I like rilakkuma and usually squeal at the sight of it because I find it darn cute... but when there's a congregation of them it just seems a bit creepy! Can you imagine waking up in the middle of the night to this, about 50 pairs of eyes staring at you!?

Day 267 - New beginnings, tiny humans, a face and shared flowers

Today I'm smiling because...

...of new beginnings. Helped my brother Pe Khai move as he bid farewell to his humble abode for greener pastures (literally).

...tiny humans are so darn funny.


...I see faces.

...of the way Pe Khai's new neighbour's beautiful wisteria flowers spill over onto his side of the fence and fill the air with the most wonderful fragrance.

Day 266 - Sloppy kisses from my niece

While babysitting my niece today, she did the funniest thing to me - as I was on the sofa, she stood on my legs and planted a big kiss on my lips.

"Aww that's nice," I laughed. She laughed too, then proceeded to lay another big sloppy one on me. 

Can I just say, having a child's snotty face and slobbery, wet mouth enlarging as they inch their way closer and closer to your face until it all goes pitch black because their face is completely pressed up against yours, is a little unnerving! 

I cracked up laughing (I have a bizarre self-preservation habit of laughing when I panic) after she kissed me a few more times. She doesn't give quick, fleeting pecks either - oh no - she leaves her mouth there for a few good seconds (good value for money)!

My cracking up caused her to start laughing as well, and as I moved my head and turned away to avoid her incoming sloppiness, she pinned me down on the sofa with her knees, grabbed my face with both hands, stared deeply into my eyes then intently at my lips, and forced her wet mouth onto mine!! My god I was hysterical with laughter.

Afterwards, she cuddled up against me as we watched Giggle and Hoot together (if you have/are looking after/know a kid that's less than 5 years old - chances are the kid loooves Giggle and Hoot) and I couldn't resist snapping a photo. I look dopey and exhausted, but aww look at how adorable she is!  

Day 265 - Taylor with a smiling koala, pretty flowers, Lomography and mini LC-A

I love...

...this adorable photo on Taylor's Instagram of him holding a koala. The koala has a smile on its face!

...these insanely pretty flowers that are adorning Swanston St. Me likey! They made me so happy that I jumped up and down and clapped like a 4 year old at the sight of them!


...Lomography. (But I don't love crappy photos taken with Lomo cameras being passed off as being "artistic Lomography". A shit photo is a shit photo, Lomography is not an excuse! Grrr)

...that my LC-A now has a mini me.

Day 264 - Hanson's Give A Little

I apologise for the Hanson-heavy posts, but I've had this song in my head all day and it's managed to keep me smiling through a headache-inducing day at work. And that's gotta count for something, right?

Day 263 - People who are passionate about food and the Official Hanson Ageing Timeline

Spotted this in one of the fridges at work. It says "fuck yeah lamb neck curry".

People who are passionate about their lunches make me smile.

Meanwhile, I'm still smiling from my post-Hanson high, and couldn't help but crack up from this Official Ageing Timeline of Hanson!
