How to Hug a Porcupine

I never thought I would actually come across a book with such a title - but I did today. There it was, on the TIMES bookstore at Tampines One. It had a bright orange cover, and it caught my eye when I browsed through the self-help section.

I had laughed aloud...so someone had beaten it to me...or at least someone shared my sentiments about porcupines...from the fact that they are one of the most vulnerable animals, and that, the quills are there as part of the defensive mechanism.

Is there anything new book? It reaffirmed my own beliefs and assumptions about the porcupines in my life...The only thing that I never really thought about was it was indeed really possible to hug a porcupine.

Apparently, it can be done...if one knows when, where and how to approach the edgy, nervy and fidgety. But haha...I am not going to reveal what the book said. Gave away too many secrets already.

So Dee, take a deep breath when you face the porcupines again.
You might never know...
I may get through and the porcupine may not even raise its quills again. (Haha...I can always hope, can't I?)
