W came back from lunch with this new toy in tow. Essentially a 3-bulb torch, it is as kitsch as it is useless. We love it. Its hardware turquoise plastic body is enbossed with a phoenix and dragon, while the main lamp is outfitted in pink and green. We’re slightly perplexed by the position of the bulbs though. There’s the main torch in white, a bulb on the top in its glass house, and most confusing of all, a tiny useless bulb with a white cover that looked like a tail stub. Rather rude actually.. but cute. so cute.

oh and the side is actually a slip-on buckle that could buckle in theory, but doesn’t really. It also comes with its own an electrical plug.

It's a pet.

$5 from a hardware store on Smith St. Also spotted in a toy-store at Hong Lim Complex. (Not very discerning stockists)
