My Buta-san

"Buta-san"?? Nanno kore?

Well, let you make a wild guess!




Haha! Can't guess what is this right? But it is really very cute, right??

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I officially introduce my soul-mate cum buddy, Mr Buta-san! Let me tilt it a little and disclose what it is actually...

Tada!



Buta-san is actually my tissue-paper holder. So kawaii ne!!

The name "buta-san" was given after I watched a Japanese cartoon movie. Can't really remember the title, but it was about a story of a little girl who was always late for anything and extremely lazy. One day she found herself accidentally saved a cat, which turned out to be the Prince of the "Cat-World". Out of appreciation, the Cat-King wanted her to be the wife of the Prince and brought her to the Cat-World.

However, she did not want to be turned into a cat and thus went to seek the help of a kind-hearted cat-warrior. This cat-warrior got 2 best friends, one was a fat, fluffy, white greedy cat named "Buta-san" (hey hey! That's how I got the name for my "cat"!) and a crow.

Thus, the adventure started with these 4 fellas trying to beat the Cat-King to escape out of Cat-World. And finally, as every story would end, this little girl overcame her laziness and realised her mistakes. She then eventually managed to fight her way out of the Cat-world and returned back to her own world.

And as expected, she became very diligent and puncture since then. A fairy tale!

Ok, so that's why I gave my "cat" the name "Buta-san", cos it looks fat and lazy enough to carry the name well. By the way, "Buta" means "pig" in Japanese. Thus, the meaning of "laziness and fat".
