The why? of the Tiger
Two big events today, both of which have the colour red in common and not a lot else. Namely, Valentine’s Day (irrelevant for me this year.. yet again..) and the first day of the Year of the Tiger, which is what I prefer to think about.
Not that I got any red packets stuffed with cash this year as I’m either too old or all my Asian relatives have forgotten about me. Seeing as I have something like 200 cousins on my dad’s side it’s hardly surprising that they might overlook one or two of us. Which reminds me of my visit to a fortune teller in Tokyo. One of my friends had raved about him, and said that he now knew that his (dead, of course) grandfather was watching over him, something like a spirit guide. Of course I wanted to know which of my ancestors was perving on me, so I went to see the fortune teller too, but he was very vague and just said they were all looking over me every now and then, which my cousin said was because there are too many of us in the family for us each to have our own individual guides. But dammit, you would think I’d be interesting enough for dead ancestors to watch more than once in a while, I mean it’s not like they’d be that busy up in heaven or wherever they are? I’ll just have to do something crazy that will get them hooked…
In the meantime though, high tea with my friend Avi was the best I could do.
I’m actually wearing a dress that has a lion roaring on the front of it which is sort of a reference to the whole feline theme of the day, but unfortunately that doesn’t really show up so you’ll have to imagine it for the moment.

You are very very funny! LOVE the first pic (where was that taken? Please tell me that's your pet. :)…love the accessories of the second pic. You are gorgeous!I did a similar homage, celebrated ValenTiger Day (name of the post)ps. I know you're not Indonesian. I had made a comment "You Indonesian princess" you but it was tongue in cheek. Although you do look like an Indonesian princess.
ooh just found this lovely comment now… still can't work out how to view new comments without scrolling obsessively through all my posts!! The tiger pic was taken in Thailand, there's a tiger sanctuary there… I do have a tiger at home but she's slightly smaller 🙂
