Cats, Dogs, Chicks and Ooyings ...

I have to admit I've been a bit obsessed with blogging in the past two weeks. OK, that is too much of an understatement... I've been VERY obsessed with this blog.

Anyway, I was blog-surfing today and I noticed somebody's blog had a cool moving stick figure graphic next to his favourite links.

To cut a long story short, I was like, 'That's kinda cool. I wanna do that too'.

Sketch, sketch, draw shape, resize, save.. ta daa... isn't that the cutest little ooying(fly) you've ever seen.... Let's see, who's gonna get a fly today... Andrew... paste... Annie... paste... and soon my list was pasted with flies. (Somehow, that sounds a bit gross)

With the task completed, I lean back to admire my handiwork, so cute... so blue... so... so.. so boring... sigh...

Back to the drawing board... let's differentiate the guys from the gals. Now, the guys get the blue fly, the gals get ... hmm... something pink (it's a feminine colour right)... something cute (important criteria)... sketch sketch, color, resize, save... wah... a nice pink pussycat . I'm sure Annie will be so awestruck by this lovely rose powder colored feline. I can hear it already...

Hey!! I'm not gonna tell you everything. Life's not so simple. Here's a visual guide to assist the cartoon-illiterate:
  • : This is the humble blue 'ooying', it's the housefly in the Cantonese dialect
  • : This is the pink pussycat, notice the round pink face, the pointy triangular ears, the pink nose(Well, okay, everything is pink... grmbl... next... )
  • : This is the animal population that contributes to Colonel Sander's wealth, it's the chicken lar, what else.. goodness, don't you know what you are eating?
  • : Ahhh, this little fella, observe the brown ears, affectionate eyes, brown nose, pink tongue... (You can't see... sweat... you need new glasses) it's a puppy
So let's play a little game of intuition and see who can tell me how I came up with the icons and what the animals on my blog represent(mua ha ha ha ha, evil laugh again). And for the closest answers, I will customize an icon for you. Ta daaaaaaa....

Uh oh, I can hear Ian's voice whispering down south, ''So lame... Egomaniac... '. Umm, whatever, so what are you waiting for?

Hmm, Mr Ian, in view of your 'medical' condition and other unavoidable circumstances, you have been upgraded to 'spotted puppy'.

Now, now, before anyone points fingers at me and accuses me of being biased, let it be known that the judge(s) are awarding this rare critter based on the following criteria:
1. Poor Mr Ian has suffered a shock from the fly icon next to him due to his insectophobia - Note the heavily emphasized 'I HATE FLIES'
2. He is the first participant and receives the complimentary icon. Clap please... What do you mean I didn't mention it? Ooops, small technicality, Details, details...
3. We don't want to aggravate him further. What if he stops writing? (*Gasp*) Imagine what his legion of female fans will do to us.
OK, judge's decision is final. Competition will go on. (mua ha ha, evil laugh)

Initially I thought I got a pig! Ugh! But since you explained it's a puppy, I guess it's alright. But it still looked mighty suspiciously like a PIG! Is it a PIGPY?
