Vivian has two life threatening weaknesses: ticklish and cold-phobia. Since early on, I have learned to use them to my advantages. *evil grin* Although she can somewhat fight off my tickle-happy fingers, there aren't much she can do about the recent cold weather. Well, our head-strong Vivian has her own arsenals for such occasions. She plugged in an electric blanket, turned on a portable heater and sought refuge in bed covered with layers and layers of comforters. You might think the pictures shown here are staged, hoo-hoo, you're ever so wrong, it'd be staged if she is NOT in her fetal position and tightly wrapped in blankets.

Oh, forgot to mention, whenever she retreats in such a fashion, I automatically get promoted to be her man-servant, feed her water and fetch her snacks. Our cats MaoMao and GuaGua help out as well; Vivian would stuff the cats in the cocoon, and warm her hands and feet with their furry warm bellies. I hope no animal-right activists are reading this. :-P

Vivian couldn't be reached for comment during the time of writting. However, later on she posted her own take on the matter on her blog, hope you read Chinese.
