Melancholy stuffed donkey

Just received a new huggie from my dear , its a baby Eeyore!
just about a few years ago during internship i bought a eeyore head bean bag for fun as a cushion for the chair.. then b4 then i had this towel material eeyore softtoy bought from the charity during v day from myself..lol and these cuddly stuff often lay arund my hall room or at home.. and to much of my amusement, pple would ask ' who buy for u?' and i would say i buy for myself..lol interesting i would think.. why cant i buy for myself? lol
the eeyore in my memory is often that of gloomy and sluggish. and blue.. but always trying hard to get things done.. espeically when it was for his friends.. in some way. that personality appealed to me much more than the other characters.. pooh was too popular.. piglet was too pink and cute and scary, tiger was too bouncy.. thought thats wat i would really like to be.. but i think i would be quite irritating.. then again.. being friends is able understanding and tolerating each other..
then i went to research on eeyore on the disney web.. and this was wat i found!
Eeyore is everyone's favorite delightfully dismal donkey. But Eeyore doesn't see himself as gloomy -- he just has low expectations. He expects nothing from anybody, so whenever his friends do come to his aid his expectations of the worst are overthrown, and he is sincerely grateful. Eeyore's tiny bright pink bow on his tail, the one hint of color against his gray, is a perfect symbol of the kernel of joy that occasionally surfaces in Eeyore. Though he may pretend he's helping because there's nothing better to do -- make no mistake, Eeyore is always there for his friends.
