pelf-ism is contagious

I was waiting for the super-duper-low-pressure water to fill the terrapin tanks this morning when I noticed this:

NO.. It is NOT what you’re thinking! They were NOT mating la.. Though they looked like they were “doing it”.. Seriously, terrapins mate THAT way *blushes* OK, enough of the emphasis. Both terrapins are about 7 years old. And both are females. And I have NO idea why is one on top of the other when there is ample space in the tank.

This is a male terrapin. Also about 7 years old. See how it was relaxing when the water in the tank was being filled? Lazy bum..

Remember the Postcrossing post I made not too long ago? The one I ripped off Yvy’s? If you didn’t read that, nevermind, skip it because something of more importance happened yesterday.

Yes! My first postcard had arrived! Muahaha.. I received my first postcard only after three other postcrossers received mine. Ouh, nevermind.

My first postcard shows one of the oldest churches in Germany:

It was from Sandra, who also happens to be a blogger. Check out her blog, Samullis Ramblings and her extensive collection of postcards at Postcrossing Memorabilia. Ouh.. And Sandra makes awesome postcards too

I could not help but laughed a couple of times when I was reading Moz’s recent post. And I thought maybe it would be fun to respond to that post

For one, there are only 2 Pelfs. Unless you know a third, please let me know about it OK? We never had problems having the same given name when we were younger but as we grew up, our friends started calling us “Pelf” and that was when the confusion began. I remember there was one funny incident that took place not too long ago. This guy called our house and I answered the call and the caller requested to speak to Pelf. I was like, “Speaking.” Then he went on talking about things that I did not really understand. Then I asked him who he was. He told me he was Choon Hoong. OK, fine. So we continued “chatting.” But I didn’t really understand him because we weren’t talking about the same topics at all. Then I asked him who he wanted to speak to, and he said “Pelf.” I had a feeling I didn’t know him and that the phone call was for my sister, so I asked further, “Which Pelf?” to which he replied, “Pelf Yeen.” I was like, “AARRGGH..”

The funny thing is that J’s chinese name is also pronounced as “Choon Hoong.”

So to answer your question, Moz, you may call me Pelf, and my sister, Mei Mei, just like how I call her, OK? *smiles* No more confusion, OK? *more smiles*

Now, before I started blogging, I didn’t really have free time (like you). I mean, I spent ALL my time on work, so I did not really have a life apart from that at work. Sad, I know. But now I have separated a little time from my busy schedule for myself. To blog. And yes, I used to collect stamps but have not been paying much attention to that lately because (a) I have run out of photo albums and (b) I have transferred my attention to my blog instead. Short attention span, I hear you say? Yea, blame the horror-scope

Ouh yea, in the interview, there were three questions in Question (2) because you said you ran out of ideas on what to blog about. I was trying to guide you, so you should be thankful and NOT complain about the long response you had to type, OK?! Kkakaka, I know, I sounded like a stepmother *bluek*

OK, so let’s get straight-to-the-point.. You gave MY Beijing Panda Bear to Angel JUST because I FFK-ed you the other day?! NOT FAIR! I want MY Beijing Panda Bear!

And where’s MY birthday present?!
