the name of this site comes from four little fluffy buns sitting in a cardboard steamer. they are all  called 饅頭くん, cousins of  桃ちゃん and 温泉卵くん. we saved the pink, white, green and brown buns from one of those evil, blinking, money-swallowing contraptions otherwise known as a UFO catcher . 

i think i’m a 中華饅頭, except i am neither hot nor steaming.  

but i’m also quite contented being a little cat, singaporean, lazing under a big, possibily pine, tree in japan. up north, in a place you’ve probably never heard of.  but we are good for a strong samurai history, a nice castle of our own, hot humid summer, cold snowy winters and horse sashimi.

i read japanese (a little) i speak mandarin (in my singaporean accent) i write english (quite broken) but i almost always think balloons.

i thought i wouldn’t make a personal website anymore. because i am lazy. and also because i didn’t mind living quietly instead of parading the little i have. but i am blogging again mainly because i must continue to practice writing before i end up writing  in balloons as well. and i also need a public space to motivate myself to continue drawing and taking photographs.

and if you really need to put a tidy label to the mess of buns, cats and balloons on this site, it’s rebekah.

    funny how i never actually saw this write up before until today! I guess i just didn’t get around to clicking the little links at the top. I love what you’ve written here, and the way you write it. It’s very you :)

    Noticed that you changed the picture for your site, and is it that Charles and Keith shoe you got in SG with me? :)
