Jing Jing

I GOT A KITTY!!! Did I mention?? One day in March Wendy came home and said "Guess what we got?" and produced the cutest little bugger. She said it was for us to share untill I leave, but after she saw me ooh and ahh she said, "Wanna get another? One for you and one for here. And they'll be friends and keep each other company." Of course I said yes. So we got another little button too!!!
Unfortunatly kitty #2 disapeared when I was last away. I'll keep you posted if she comes, back but for now we'll just talk about this little one you see in the picture.

This was a self portrait of us her first night here.

I got to name her and I knew I could do a better job than I did at 10 naming "Kitty." I decided on "Jing Jing" or จรีง ๆ. I LOVE to say this in Thai. It basically means '!!!!!!!!' It's a great emphasis to anything you say, and it just rolls off the tongue. And if you say 'Jing Jing Lawh' it turns into an emphatic question mark.

It's so fun to call her to eat or ask where she is, or why is crying, etc. Because everything is said with such passion. When we casually ask each other where the kitty is we say 'Jing Jing by ny' which actually means 'Tell me, tell me, really, really, where are you??'

Today I went with Munglee and Jeeda to help her sign up Munglee for a new school and to get Munglee excited about it all. Jing Jing went too, on her first excursion, and it was fun to see everyone's confusion as we refered to the kitty, when they just heard '!!!!!!!'
