I want to live in a teapot...
For long I've wanted existence of the kind they show in shows like Noddy. Only without him coz I don't think I like him too much. My favourite character was Big Ears. So, back to Noddyland, I adore the small cars, cute little homes with lovely small gardens outside. God knows how badly I've longed for a dollhouse.
So today, when I was watching disney channel (yes, I watch Desperate Housewives, Sex & the City and Disney channel, though not in the same order), I came across this very cute programme called, 'Rolie Polie Olie'. Before you start thinking I'm demented or have had stunted growth of some sort, I want to say that it's not the case.
So this animation programme, this is a robot family who live on some different planet in the galaxy. There are four members, and they live in this teapot, replete with the snout and all. The house has eyes, a nose and a mouth too! it's called housey! In fact, that's how everything in the house is named...the refrigerator is called chilly, the toaster is called toasty....which led me to wonder what would an oven be called in their house..oveny?! Bakey perhaps...
Anyhow, the best part was that this family would get up every morning and they would go into the kitchen and just order around. They'd ask chilly for fruit juice, toasty for toasts etc .... Everyday, the house would clean itself while the members are out, would prepare food for them and at night, the weary house would go off to sleep. That picture of the snout sighing and the pot finally closing its eyelids, reminds me of my nursery colourbooks. They used to have these big images and bright yellows, blues randomly applied everywhere...
However, I'm not sure what, but something about that existence struck me and compelled me to write about it. So eversince that episode,I've been happily dreaming of living in a teapot :)
Wonder how would AS react, though ;)

FIY, where Noddy lives is called Toyland. And *sigh* how many summer afternoons have I spent trying to turn my house into one, and how many evenings have I spent cleaning up the mess thereafter!
Essar: Here you go again :I
PS, while you ponder over the location of your teapot house, you can join Malaysia's very own Sky Kingdom, lovingly known as the "teapot cult". Here's a pic for reference:

...any room in there for me? :)
Ditto on the doll house with a difference though. I wanted a summer house more than anything. In fact I dreamed of building one on our terrace. Sigh. It never happened.
But tell me where did that last to last post come from, huh?
Thalassa_Mikra: Communal controversy apart, that teapot looked wonderful and every inch the kind I saw on TV, so thanks :)
