It all began with this photo.

Au Yong snapped this some time ago cos he thought I would love the bear as it has a large red button and I love buttons. And he was right.

I thought it was the cutest thing, and I named it ‘pnyek’. It’s just a word I made up. Kinda like the sound you get when you press the button on a squeaky toy. Pnyek!

Soon after we discovered that she has a brother character. Dark brown in colour, sans button. Again, not knowing its real name, we called it ‘pnyok’.

Before I came to Tokyo, I made up my mind to hunt down these bears. And lucky for me, I found the soft toy pnyek on the first day that I was here shopping.

And then last Saturday, we bumped into pnyok on the streets of Ikebukuro!!

I’m sure everyone’s thinking, crazy girl, but I really don’t care. heh.
I kinda wish I’m shorter, so I could hug pnyok like the kids. haha.

whee!
Oh yeah, the real name? Rilakkuma.
Too long. Pnyek & pnyok sounds better.
