ok, i know i am suddenly putting up a huge amount of posts, but i simply had to say something about this.

when i first arrived, to my shock and horror, no store i went to sold the bolster. in english it’s called bolster, there IS such a word. australians and otherwise calls them body pillow.

my friends calls it my “bed time giant penis”, just coz it’s shaped like one -.-

as far as i have heard, few western places sell it, and it’s rare and hard to come by. the few places that i finally found the bolster, AFTER i had gin’s mum purchase this on their way here, was in sydney’s parramatta, a place where there’s a huge amount of viets staying.

so i found out, it’s really a very asian thing. as far as i know, it’s been quoted as “good for posture” and it has been advertised so when it was ever sold here. thing is, few people buy it anyways, so it isn’t put out in the open market. which is fine by me, as long as there are means and ways to get it.

i can’t live without my bolster. i can’t! there are people who can do so, well go ahead, but not me. i had feel awkward if it isn’t around. it does not need to be there when i am asleep, just as long as it’s there when i am falling into sleep.

someone has called it my replacement husband, till i get one anyways. nuh uh. you gotta share me with the bolster man.

so here i was, blog surfing happily while having nothing much else to do save a huge desire to go jogging in the rain, when i read a blog where someone is settling in the states, on an exchange program.

there is no bolster where he is. or at least he can’t find it.

shock

horror

and since bolsters are likely to lose their firmness in a few years, would someone kindly supply me with them when i move over to jake’s? T_T i will pay i promise….
