BABY SEAL

I called my boy a baby seal because of its white fur and its propensity to sprawl on all fours on the floor, especially slippery ones!

A neighbourhood uncle jokingly called him "ti gong ter" in hokkien, which means heavenly pig, because in that position he resembles the roasted piglet offered to the heaven gods.

He is not so young and agile anymore and his smile is slanted. Long live ah bell, my boy for 10 whole years!
