These are some of the animals that sits on Dash's desk:
Then on the wall panel, there are fowl friends Chicken and Duck sitting on a mousetrap, a bee magnet and Curious George who is all set for the moon or stars : )
Dash spotted a rainbow from the office window just now at about 5:40pm. Soon, there was a happy tumultuous tumbling of SPRDians from their cubicles and rooms into the pantry area to take in the ethereal sight : )
Some SPRDians captured a shot of the delightful bridge of refracted sunrays in their handphone cameras. Truly, technology has enabled us to put a piece of rainbow in our pockets : ) See mf's little piece on this
For Dash who was caught without her camera today, she can only draw an impression of the refreshing rainbow with seven dashes of colours - see drawing above : )
Afternote: The cheery little bridge disappeared at about 6pm. Btw, other than having seven dashes of colours, "rainbow" is also seven-lettered word : )
A cheery bright pooh bear, peering curiously out at the raindrops falling onto earth, from the snugly warm interior of a car : )
(Picture taken of the pooh bear from my boss, Andy's car. This pooh is like an identification mark on the car for people like Dash for whom cars are cars, and can only differentiate cars by their colours :)
Dash spotted this mobile phone set of the 1960s in this cosy little antique shop tucked along a side street at Arab Street.
Is this zany or what? kekeke : )

This was the design on the 7-eleven plastic bags used in Tokyo, Japan in Dec 2005. Dash really likes the drawings on them : ) Interesting that the slogan is about keeping the earth clean, and not about conservation of natural resources. Oh well, Dash will leave it to the dieheart romantic to comment on the environment message : )
On the topic of simple pleasures from a simple past, Dash wants to share this picture of a toy. (Picture taken of toy on shelf in the home of my Vietnam Host family in Nov 2005)

These are two pieces of gum which Dash bought from a quaint little ramen shop in KitaKyushu, Japan in Dec 2005. The wrapper even has a game on the inside for children so the kids get to exercise both their jaws and their brains : )

the dieheart romantic doesn't want to be known for just posting sad sad entries. Much like this dude on the left. That's one sad puppy.Read more

You cannot tell and you cannot see but hidden in this dark dungeon of a sprawling market in Ipoh is this little butcher shop.
And then there are the Chang, Chang and Chang on the streets of Bangkok!
On Dash's right, where Kin Wee sits, a dolled-up Qoo lies in a bed of roses... ermm, leaves. I believe that the plant is a welcome-2006 gift from Heng Kee, our previous Director.
I guess all the feathered little ones have flown away to get help for their leafy friend still in the cage : )

This is Jokey Smurf. One of Dash's favorite smurfs as a child. Jokey has a very distinctive laughter and loves giving other smurfs, Gargamel and Azrael giftboxes that would explode in their faces. 
This is a story about two people who went to the beach to look for sea shells. They walked deeper and deeper into the receding tide to look for better more beautiful shells, climbing the little ridges that somehow were not washed flat by the sweeping waves.Read more
