    ELMO!
    It would be the cutest sight ever if an Ivy go-er carries along an Elmo backpack!

    I don’t know where to get an Elmo backpack, but I do know where you can get an Elmo tee shirt!

    I hope all is well with your Lasik surgery Su-Ann! :)

  • 13. cindy khor  |  August 17th, 2009 at 6:56 pm

    omg!! that was so cute and hilarious, love your formal letter with tons of technical jargons. maybe they think you are joking about the backpack as elmo is so cute…. you could try to convince them by repeating this request every single time you talk to them.

  • 14. Chen Chow  |  August 17th, 2009 at 7:21 pm

    i’ll just type my first reaction: omg so cute!

    (that’s in reference to you)

    and elmo’s wordless open mouthed enthusiasm is the icing on your cuteness cake. i keep scrolling up between typing words here to look at him! irresistable! must own!

    Eh what Elmo all… Spongebob better :(

  • 31. Lisa Cheah  |  August 18th, 2009 at 4:32 am

    Su Ann, I was feeling for you. Therefore I went Elmo backpack hunting, only to find out that, that Elmo backpack you wanted is actually a book by Kara McMahon.

    Thus there is no way to put in even more books. :(
    And it really isn’t a backpack. Maybe I’ll find another Elmo backpack soon! :D

  • 61. Alynna  |  August 22nd, 2009 at 9:56 am

    Oh oh, but the one I saw is bigger, with long legs and big plastic eyes. And you can’t stuff much in it cause it’s more like carrying an encik elmo on your back. :P

  • 62. Debs  |  August 22nd, 2009 at 11:33 am

    Who knows.. you might end up receiving multiple elmo backpacks after this! Then what are you going to do with them all? :)

  • 63. pinkpau  |  August 22nd, 2009 at 3:57 pm

    i just read the comments here!! to all the folks who wrote comments offering to send me an elmo bag, you guys are just SO COOL :) thank you so much. but i couldnt possibly take you guys up on the offer. segan lah :)

    but if i do find an elmo bag that is as cute as the one in the photo, i will let you guys know cos it seems like lots of people are interested in purchasing an elmo bag for themselves as well, haha.
