I see wabbits everywhere! This book; EF LENS WORK III published by Canon has just arrived today by courier, ordered by my beloved from Shashinki. The first page that I opened is as pictured above, a girl holding a white bunny so dearly. Awww, that’s so sweet!
One of the magazines that came together with the parcel features 2 rabbits being mid air on action! Now, is that an omen for me to get a rabbit as a pet?
What are the similarities between an Angora rabbit and Japanese cotton? They are both nice to touch, nice to see, and nice to have. I know it doesn’t make sense at all, but Japanese cotton is my escapism whenever I try to curb my longing to adopt an Angora rabbit. The nice, comfortable feeling that I get from the texture of Japanese cotton is somewhat similar to the sensation I experience when I pet an Angora rabbit.
I don’t remember how long I have been wanting to adopt a rabbit. I’m very used to cats, but rabbits seem like a nice change as pets. They are calm, friendly, and so charming. Recently, that longing has increased to a hundred fold ever since I stumbled upon Angora rabbits that are being sold at Carrefour Subang Jaya.
An Angora rabbit is so comforting to pet. Its fur is so fluffy and so soft that I’ve become so obsessed to have one right away. However, what I discovered from the Net is a bit disappointing. An Angora rabbit is not recommended to the inexperienced owing to its quite extensive grooming requirement. I know I won’t be able to care for one for the time being - my mom’s sickness and my part time study occupy most of my time. Even my passion in reading and photography are put on hold at times. So, Angora rabbit is definitely out of bound, no matter how much I love to adopt one.
Another breed that I’m fond of is this mini lop, or also known as the Holland Lop. Just look at its face; how not to fall in love with it?

Rabbits are prey animals. Handling them is way different from handling cats. They require quite a great deal of TLCs, but if you are patient, the outcome can be so rewarding.
I can’t wait to finish my study so that I can start adopting rabbits. Oh, I’m also interested in the little fluff of the fancy; Jersey Woolly. It is a small type of rabbit. In Australia, this type is known as Dwarf Angora.
Right now, I’ll just have to be contented by looking at their photos all over the Internet, and feed my eyes on Beatrix Potter’s drawings - particularly with the ones with rabbits. And not to forget my indulgence in another life’s simple pleasure, Japanese cotton.

I am beyond the normal shock. Even more than shellshock. It’s called biblioshock. Allow me to explain it first, before you wear that smirk on your face.
Just a few days before, I had ordered this treasure; Beatrix Potter A Journal, among other books of the same author, through Kinokuniya online bookweb. The price of this gloriously illustrated journal, is RM 89.90. I so much want to have it that upon discovering the book on Kinokuniya online, coupled that with the availability of The Tale of Flopsy Bunnies Centenary Edition and The Tale of Ginger and Pickles Centenary Edition (which I also want so badly), my joy was beyond euphoria, and I just couldn’t wait to order them right away. Perhaps that’s what you call bibliophoria.
Fast forward to today, which is the second day I attend the open source seminar at Berjaya Times Square. I discovered the very same journal at Borders, selling at RM32.90.
Apparently, it’s among other books that are given further discounts - 30%. So, from RM89.90 to RM32.90, and then another 30% off , if the state I am in is not biblioshock, you tell me what that is.
‘Nuff said.
