Xiao Bai Tu


Xiao Bai Tu means "lil' white rabbit" (in Mandarin). Don't you feel like cuddling one? Just like the pix above, these fluffy lil' mammal radiates a warm fuzzy aura. I have my own Xiao Bai Tu at home too -- she's gentle, cute, soft hearted & comforting. Can't wait to see my lil' rabbit tonight.

Since we are on the topic of rabbit & Easter is just 3 days away, I may as well steal a paragraph or two from Wikipedia about The Easter Bunny.

"The Easter Bunny is a mythical character depicted as an anthropomorphic rabbit. In legend, the creature brings baskets filled with colored eggs, candy and toys to the homes of children on the night before Easter. The Easter Bunny will either put the baskets in a designated place or hide them somewhere in the house for the children to find when they wake up in the morning.
The Easter Bunny is very similar in trait to its Christmas holiday counterpart, Santa Claus, as they both bring gifts to good children on the night before their respective holiday. Its origin is disputed but the character was mentioned as early as 1600; some trace it to alleged pre-Christian fertility lore,[1] others to the role of the hare in Christian iconography.

Btw, Happy Easter & no more "satay arnab" fom Kajang!
