Cat Stuff

Been a busy week - as can be attested by the appalling lack of posts here. Anyway, a recent and loyal blog reader, kwipex brightened up my day by his contribution to the Coolcat Sightings column.

Presenting to you Coolcat in Al-Wahda Mall in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates!

Hang on, is that guard actually posing for the camera???

Very cool and trendy teenwear if I may say so myself. Thanks, kwipex!

A very apt and pleasing Coolcat sighting!

Bezzie's hubby HS spotted this at a shopping complex somewhere in Melbourne. Books and CC - what a great combination, eh? Thanks, HS and Bezzie!

Speaking of books, my latest shipment from my favourite online bookstore finally arrived one month after my order. They normally take a couple of weeks max to deliver right at my doorstep. Apparently, this time around, the supplier did a boo-boo on one of the books which they will deliver later. That boo-boo stalled the whole delivery. But at least they sent me the other books first after I called to ask what was taking them so long.

When I received the precious package, I hopped for joy and opened it reverently. The sight of the pristinely new books was akin to beholding the lovely faces of my old and dearest friends. One of the books was my dad's order and he had been waiting breathlessly for it to come. After I handed it to him, he immediately wrapped it carefully in plastic before plunging on to the contents.

Mom saw him reading the book with furrowed brows (indicating deep thought) and said, "Ah, looks like your book 'Foods that Heal and Foods that Kill' has arrived!"

My bro laughed, "Nolar, mom. It's called 'Foods that Heal, Foods that Harm'."

I thought to myself that it wasn't as bad as my previous blooper nary a few minutes before. My brother was quietly asking me if Acmabooks.com sold any technical books. He was speaking so softly that I thought I heard him asking if they had any genital books. Gave me a start it did. Then I thought some more and decided that coming from him, he must have meant technical. I was right.

But of course, not wanting my laughing mom to feel alone in her blunder, I shared my near-blooper as well. And there we all sat around the dining table, giggling in helpless laughter. As can be attested in a previous blog entry, these kinda bloopers are a hallmark of my family. There's simply no escaping this gene.

Here are some of the photos taken by friends as souvenirs for me during their travels near and far. So nice to be thought of during their happy moments

If any of you have any more to add to this collection of Coolcat Sightings, let me know and I'll post it up here.
