K's 1 pound slippers

S's Hello Kitty desktop

Was chatting away in S's room last night and suddenly found out that K was wearing one of those blue and white slippers sold 10NT a pair back home. She says mostly everything in Cyprus is made in Taiwan. Hehe, they bring back so much memories. Occasionally you see taxi drivers wearing them, or people who are too lazy to put on proper shoes when they simply want to stop by a neighbourhood convenience store for snacks. Being of half-Asian descent, it might be fairly reasonable for S to have a Hello Kitty desktop. I never adored this cat who had no mouth, but some of my girl friends loved to go to Sanrio stores and buy Kitty products. Imagine how scary a world of pink would be like--they make Kitty microwaves, computers, TV sets and motorcycles, etc. these days. Ah, the Japanese... I just like to make fun of them. Recently also noticed that I've been using quite a lot of the Chinese melodramatic exasperation "Aiyo". Don't underestimate this "Aiyo", as this lamentation could be a major conversational tool--handy in any circumstances. 1) When you disagree with someone stupid. 2) When something doesn't go your way. 3) When showing a tone of caring, anger, sadness... be creative! Plus it's definitely a better replacement for four-letter words.
