WeChat Stickers

So in China, Facebook is not easily accessible, so everyone uses WeChat, a kind of combo of texting, voice messaging, a Facebook-like news feed, and even Skype-like video features.  It's fun, but the best part is the Sticker Gallery. You can download stickers to serve as emotions for your chats, and they come described in Chinglish.  Here is a sample.

LuoXiaoHei: a mysterious black cat

Sweet Love: sparks are flying!

Molang: lovable balls of fluff

Chewyhams: an adorable hamster

Emoticat: a group of happy cats

Miffy: a lovely Dutch bunny

Mr. Egg: a loyal friend for you.

Nervous boy: a lovely little kid

Sushi Sushi: Sushi love YOU!

The Cookies: The colorful owls

Choco Milk Alpaca: Super Animal Star

Dog series: a lazy but crazy dog

Inky Baby: Eat, play, and fuss (it's a pink octopus as a sticker)

Healthy Doughnut: get in shape!  (huh?)


And it goes on.... but this one is my personal favorite, full description included:

Mr. Bald: Mr. Bald's innocence : If he never had to work overtime and spend hours in front of the computer, Mr. Bald may have turned out to be a pretty handsome fellow!  But we know if it wasn't for his life experiences, he wouldn't be as lovable as he is today.
