A new blog just for my readers

There comes a day, well maybe some days when something bad happens and you want to let it all out and either you can't or you have no one else to turn to. If not, something unexpectedly good happens and you desperately wanted to let it all out but yet you do not want anyone else to know that you had such good fortune (maybe you strike lottery and wanted to share the news, but anonymously?). Well, everyone, you are so in luck here!!

I've been having this idea twirling around in my head for quite a few months and now, here's your chance to do so. Anonymously or not, it's totally up to you!! It's somewhat like PostSecret, but with a slight twist to it. You needn't necessarily send me your darkest secret(s), but if you want to, I'm okay with it. The deal here is that, I will be your listening ear when you need one. Do note that all postcards received will be posted up to the respective blog at where everyone will be able to see, so it's your personal choice on whether you want to do so with your real name or anonymously.

Here's the pitch:

1) Get a postcard

2) Write down what you want to tell me (happy/sad/bored/hyper, it's all up to you!).

3) You can be as creative as you want to be or you could keep it minimal.

4) Put it in an envelope and a note that lets me know who you are, email, nickname, real name and whatever way/method you feel I can acknowledged you with.

5) Write "Pu Niao's LIstening Ear" on the address part of the postcard.

6) Address your letter to:


Pu Niao's Listening Ear
Blk 115 Pending Road
#12-144
Singapore 670115


7) As soon as I received your envelope, I'll send you an email to let you know and the date your postcard will be "live" on the respective blog at .

8) Remember to check the blog at to see your own postcard "live".

Simple as pie, right? Maybe the instructions might sound a little confusing, but just head on over to and see an example now!!

Dragon Brand's Bird Nest

Remember this post about Wishing Tree by OMY? They finally sent me the prize collection email...after my mother's birthday. One wonders if this was done on purpose or what? But since I will be returning to work soon, I'll be collecting my prize after work and giving it to my mother. At least I don't need to go all the way to Toa Payoh to claim my prize, unlike the previous time.

Spreading the Christmas Cheer: Part I

As previously mentioned over at Happening @ Page One: The Art Of Giving @ Page One, quite a number of our staffs also contributed meaningful presents to the children of Canossaville. And here are some photos of our staff, Tracey in action. Currently, I'm awaiting the photos of the kids who received the presents so that I may put them up here and share with my readers at Chopsticks. And hopefully, next year would be even better.

But I have to admit, I get to see some nasty and stingy customers who gave christmas presents to the children of Canossaville, and gave the "I expect something in return just by pretending to be generous this festive season" faces. Makes me wonder, if you're going to give presents so grudgingly, why bother in the first place? Besides, that gift doesn't even come from your heart anymore as you seem to have the impression that you should get recognition just by being "generous" or pretending to be "generous".

Enough of those pretentious and annoying two-faced customers, let's go on to Tracey giving her presents:




This child asked for a skipping rope, so I decided to grant him his simple wish.





Filling up the respective forms, columns and everything else to ensure that the child gets the correct present.





Tracey filling up her particulars on another form to receive photo(s) of the child who received her christmas gift.


All in all, I've contributed quite an amount of children that when I went to withdraw money for food and transportation, I realised I've been very generous to the point that I'm always broke. But I felt happy doing it as I know my actions will bring a smile to someone's faces this festive season. But still, I really wonder how many kids did I give smiles to, considering that I am way too broke and waiting for my next paycheck...

Geisha

Most Japanese have seen true geisha only on television or in festival parades; the onsen geisha in spa resorts may well be only hookers in fancy dress. Genuine geisha entertain the political and industrial elite in exclusive traditional ryōtei [料亭] restaurants, cha-ya [茶屋] (teahouses), and machi-ai [待合い] (assignment houses) - all antiquarian establishments boasting inner gardens graced with flickering stone lanterns. Numbering about 100,000 before World War II, the geisha declined with the rise of the bar hostess after the war; they now number barely 8,000. The geisha have their origins in the pleasure quarters - the Floating World - of 300 years ago. More than mere bordellos, the great Green Houses of the 17th-century pleasure quarters offered banquets enhanced by courtesans adept at singing and dancing. Itinerant entertainers and musicians often accompanied them, the most skilled being dubbed otoko geisha [男藝者] (male arts people). By the 1700s the best female entertainers became known as geiko [藝子] (arts girls), a name still used in some regions. To call them by any other name in Kyoto would ruffle their fine plumage but, elsewhere, the generic geisha stuck.

The geisha, her face whitened and her mouth reduced to little petals of brilliant red, became a living work or art, an icon of womanhood. Spirited, garrulous, talented, and sexy, she had all the dazzle that Confucian strictures forbade in a virtuous wife. Geisha are also table entertainers, sought for their wit and powers of conversation. Even in advanced years, some geisha continued to be revered as exponents of traditional performing arts. At first, many geisha doubled as prostitutes. Infuriated by the rivalry, the courtesans successfully petitioned the government to pass a law forbidding geisha to sleep with customers in the pleasure quarters. As a result, the profession went upscale.

Today's geisha earns a lot of money. She has to, for her wardrobe includes a collection colored according to each season. She shuns wearing the same kimono before the same customers twice. The goal of most geisha is to find a danna - a wealthy patron to support her as a mistress. Some have been brides for prime ministers - Katsura during the Meiji era and Yoshida in the 1950s. A scandalous affair with a geisha in 1989 felled Prime Minister Uno after just two months in office. In the old days, girls trained as geisha from childhood; nowadays they start in their late teens. Hundreds of girls still aspire to become geisha, but only three out of ten weather the harsh training as maiko [舞子] (apprentices) at the okiya [置屋] (geisha house), where they are strictly schooled in singing, dancing, playing the samisen [三味線] (Japanese three-string lute), and deportment.

You might see geisha in Kyoto's Gion where the maiko - gaudy little dolls with whitened faces - bustle along, pigeon-toed on high sandals, while the geisha glide past in their silken finery with regal nonchalance. Appearances are deceptive, however, Tokyo, where they are rarely glimpsed, has about a thousand geisha. In Kyoto, despite their higher profile, there are slightly more than 500 left. Geisha are not as old-fashioned as they seem. Their conversational skills are utterly contemporary, and many attend corporate functions in modern dress. If geisha disappear altogether, it will not be because they are out of tune with the times, but a matter of simple economics. Catering to a dwindling elite, they have priced themselves out of the market.

SpitzTunes -- Happy Holidays!!

Music is part of life, and as far as I know, music has added something to everyone's life ... but right there the similarities cease ... we all seem to have some go to music that may be different at different times ... in a crowd, on holidays, in the shower, at work, traveling, on a date, at a funeral, watching TV (all the popular shows now have background music), shopping, studying, exercising ... well, I'm sure you get the idea.

I Know I'm a Night Person If...

» Sunrise comes as an unpleasant surprise.

» You call someone on the phone to just chat and discover that they've been asleep for six hours.

» You do your best work at 2 a.m.

» You finally force yourself to go to bed at 1 a.m. and then keep having brilliant ideas that you have to get up and write down.

» People who are perky or sharp in the morning appall you---and can run rings around you before noon, too.

» Birds start singing about the time you fall asleep.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas and best wishes for readers of Chopsticks. May all your wishes come true and may the next year hold good fortune for you all!

Singaporeans... afraid to lose out?

While blog-hopping, I came across Travel Philippines | Entertainment post and the first few sentences grabbed my attention. It kind of brings back this encounter I witnessed at my previous job as a cafe barista. We were in need of new staffs and hence our boss had placed advertisements in various newspapers for hiring. And when that fateful day came, majority of the job seekers were filipinos. I don't have any qualms about that, as I had a manager who was from the Philippines and we were acutally having fun while working, so to me, yeah it sounds crazy but cool and fun and it consisted of teamwork too.

Along the way, this Singaporean who wanted a job asked for an application form and after filling up the form and returned it back to us, he "casually" mentioned that how would he "know that the interview would be based on a first-come-first-served basis". Indirectly meaning that since he's Singaporean, he should be allowed to go for the interview first while the rest of the filipino job-seekers have to wait as they are not Singaporeans. Why indirectly? That was because he mentioned that there were so many job-seekers who were not Singaporean and that "it was unfair for the Singaporeans" to have to wait to be interviewed.

At that very instant, I felt my blood boiling and I really really wanted to give him a punch right across the face. Why, just because he's a Singaporean doesn't mean he has immediate access or special privileges. If you want to be interviewed first, come early. I mean, he took his own sweet time and came down only close to 4:00pm, when the interview slot is almost over and tried to kick a fuss out of it. At least the filipino job seekers are serious and honest in trying to find a stable job and get a stable income.

And right before this selfish Singaporean walked off, due to the fact that he has to wait for his turn to be interviewed after the filipino job-seekers, I yelled out loudly as a matter of fact that "If our company hired such a selfish person, we will lose business!"

Ultimately, it boils down to tolerance and own self attitude. If you can't be bothered to wake up early and be the first in line to be interviewed for a job, I suggest that you zip up your mouth and wait for your turn quietly, and without a fuss. Regardless of whether we, Asians, Filipinos, Malaysians, Americans or whatever, we're all equal. In a sense that we're only humans, we cry, feel and bleed and we are no different from one another. We have needs and wants, and yes we have our own insecurities. But if you're going to discriminate to my face, I suggest you pack up and leave and stop hanging near me as I do not tolerate such blatant racial discrimination in my own damn presence.

Thanks for hogging the queue

It was a sunny Sunday afternoon, I recalled. We went to the market to catch a late breakfast/early lunch and my mother decided to deposit some money into her account. The queue stretched all the way out into the blistering open sun, nobody said a word, but everyone knew the scorching heat was unbearable. Somewhere right in front of the cash deposit machine, the woman whose fashion sense was so outdated and whose knowledge of machines was equally outdated, was trying to deposit money into her bank account via the money deposit machine.

She don't know how to use the machine and yet refused to yet her daughter help her out, instead relying on the help of a total stranger. Meanwhile, the rest of the queue was stuck under the blistering heat on a Sunday. Irritated, I walked up and hissed, "Why don't you wait till Monday when there will be tellers available in the bank to help you, where you can look somewhat smarter in an air-conditioned bank?"

Still, she refused to budge and when she finally did managed to deposit her money, everyone in the queue behind her breathed a sigh of relief. That they can get the queue moving at regular speed and also to be able to get out of the sun...

Breaking Dawn... not Wind..

Considering that when a vampire (if you can find now in this modern day age!) bites you, and you'll get two punctured wounds on your neck, my manager didn't have such a lucky fate though. The other day, Ms Tan was shrink-wrapping all these books (Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer) when she mentioned that she received two punctured wounds (coincidence?) on her neck when she woke up in the morning. Turns out, Edward didn't came and neither did Lestate de Lioncourt nor Louie de Point du Luc. It was simply two hungry blood-sucking mosquitoes, looking for a quick meal on Ms Tan's neck..
Sigh... Poor Ms Tan. Lost quite a small amount of blood... to mosquitoes no less...

腐女子

Fujoshi (腐女子, meaning "rotten girl") is a pejorative Japanese term for female fans of manga and novels that feature romantic relationships between men, often with the implication of Yaoi concept. It is also a homophonous pun on fujoshi (婦女子), a term for respectable women. The name originated with members of the demographic, who self-deprecatingly refer to their way of thinking, which perceives homosexual relationships between male characters in stories that do not include homosexual themes as being "rotten". "Fujoshi" carries a connotation of being a "fallen woman".

Fujoshi are females who enjoy imagining what it would be like if male characters from manga and anime, and occasionally real-life male performers as well, loved each other. The label encompasses fans of the shōnen-ai genre itself, as well as the related manga, anime, and video game properties that have appeared as the shōnen-ai market began to develop.

Older fujoshi use various terms to refer to themselves, including as kifujin (貴腐人 meaning "noble rotten woman"), a pun on a homophonous word meaning "fine lady", and ochōfujin (汚超腐人), which sounds similar to a phrase meaning "Madame Butterfly", possibly taken from a character nicknamed Ochōfujin (お蝶夫人) in the 1972 manga series Ace o Nerae! (エースをねらえ!, Ēsu o Nerae!?, lit. Aim for the Ace!) by Sumika Yamamoto. These labels were coined in the same self-deprecating spirit as fujoshi, but as fujoshi is better known, it is often used to refer to female otaku as a group. This usage is growing in popularity with the Japanese media as well as people who would not consider themselves otaku.

A common English term describing this kind of female is 'yaoi fangirl', used mainly amongst anime and manga fans.

Fujoshi have been characters in manga aimed at female otaku, and one butler cafe has opened with a schoolboy theme in order to appeal to the Boy's Love aesthetic.


Article quoted from Wikipedia


So seriously, I wish for a chance to visit Japan's butler cafe and Singapore is definitely not bringing in enough BL comics, no doubt thanks to singapore's nosy busybodies, which is commonly referred to Media Development Authority.

I've spotted Santa's sleigh and his reindeers, but where's Santa??

It's Freezing in sunny Singapore...

Lately, the weather has been quite okay. But I can't say the same when night falls and during my journey from home to work and vice versa. Basically, I've managed to make an accomplishment by wearing a jacket and winter scarf to and back from work. And get this too, Singapore don't have any four seasons at all. Yup, it sounds kinda lame somehow. But this is how I've been looking like when I go to work very morning...





So, my humble visitors. If you ever come to Singapore and see someone looking like this, it's definitely me, Pu Niao "in action". And what do I mean "in action", you wonder? It means trying to keep warm against the cold~ ~ ~

The Spirit of BEAR-iuca

Hehe, I was tagged by Mariuca to do this BEAR-iuca meme and I'm a huge lover of teddy bears. So here goes:


-START COPYING HERE-


Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a powerful Genie Princess named Mariuca who was known throughout the land as the friendliest, most popular blogger in the blogosphere kingdom. Adored and admired by international visitors and commentators from around the world, the Genie Princess travels the blogosphere on her magical flying carpethttp://www.mymariuca.com/2007/09/join-our-magical-flying-carpet-ride.html, always looking for ways to share her good fortune with others.

Over the past two years of blogging, Mariuca has met so many new people, from all walks of life and all over the world, each one bringing a little of their culture and lifestyle when they visit and comment on Mariuca’s two sites. So on her 2nd Blog Anniversary, Mariuca wanted to celebrate with all of her international blogosphere buddies by hosting a bear-naming contests at Wishing On A Falling Star and Mariuca’s Perfume Gallery and to pass her two lucky, cuddly teddy bears along to the winners who came up with the best names.

On the opposite side of the world, from the moment Roxy (the prolific Roxiticus Desperate Housewives blogger) and her sweet daughters London and Maddie saw the teddy in his personalized t-shirt and blue muffler at Wishing On A Falling Star, they knew that he needed to come to live with their family in Mendham, NJ. The three New Jersey girls named him immediately and burst into a wonderful song for BEAR-iuca:


BEAR-iuca, BEAR-iuca, amazing teddy cheer.
BEAR-iuca, BEAR-iuca, we’d love you to come live here!


Mariuca received 16 possible names for the Mariuca Teddy Bear, making it hard for the Genie Princess to choose just one…then Alakazam! A bolt of lightning delivered the perfect way to share BEAR-iuca’s good fortune to bloggers around the globe. While the soft, stuffed, cuddly BEAR-iuca is on his way to live with Roxy, London, Maddie and Rex in the Roxiticus Valley, the Spirit of BEAR-iuca is racing through the blogosphere to bring happiness, holiday cheer, and beary best wishes to everyone who welcomes him into their online home and passes along the BEAR-iuca good luck charm to ten friends.

Please play along with us by following a few important rules:

1. Add your site(s) to the list once you have received the Spirit of BEAR-iuca badge of teddy bear cheer.
2. Pass along the Spirit of BEAR-iuca and his cheery badge to as many people as you like.
3. Leave a comment HERE once you’ve passed on the Spirit of BEAR-iuca.
4. Once Roxy and the Genie Princess have visited your site to make sure your links are complete and proper, you will then be added to the Master List.
4. To ensure everyone receives equal link benefit, please UPDATE your list regularly!

X'mas deco

There's actually a Santa sleigh behind this toy soldier, but these kids who were playing nearby made a dash for the sleigh and immediately and indirectly "claimed" it as their playground as soon as they saw me approaching. And their parents were simply olivious. Duh...

I like mine spicy and I love the gravy even more!!





This Pig Organ Soup . Kway Chap stall is VERY stingy. And still stingy after so many years. I believe they deserve a The Most Stingy Stall award for every consecutive year..

Zirkus Fantasy Ice Skating

I don't know how they're going to perform ice skating on stilts, but I sincerely wish them the best of luck though. Even a simple death spiral spin performed by pairs skaters are so full of regulations, I'm feeling somewhat confused...

Paint your own damn walls!!!

Ever since afterNOon, the phone has been ringing NOn-stop continuously. And the ringing alternates between my home phone and my father's cell phone. Why, you might ask? The reason is really simple. This relative of mine, my father's sister, wanted my brother to go over to where she lives (at Telok Blangah) and help her paint the walls of her five-room flat. And she has been contiNuOusly calling like a pest, even though my parents had already stated that my brother is having his exams, which is just around the corner.

Seems like she has a "Never Say Die" attitude. She'll alternate between my home phone and my father's phone, up till the point when my father need to go for his midnight shift work. Seriously, the ringing is driving me to the point that I'm contemplating murder in my mind. Yup, you heard me right!

I mean, how irritating can a person be, despite telling her that there is absolutely NO way we can help her. Besides, she can either ask her stupid drunk useless husband's friends to help, or even better, get her adult son to help with the wall painting. Why? Is my family born to be her slaves??

It's always like this all the time. Whenever shit happens, she'll have NO qualms about calling us and trying to drag us iNtO the mud. But when good times are here, she'll pretend NOt to iNfOrm us and leave us out like total strangers. Tell me, what kind of family is this?

Way before my grandfather passed away, they were all arguing about how much my grandfather has in his various bank accounts and who will get more and shit like that. I'm seriously really feeling pissed. And as I'm talking about this, my home phone rang again. Yes, I have an even better idea, why NOt splash the paint oNtO the walls instead? It's faster, artistic and avant-garde.

And NOt to mention, the scar on the side of my mother's head? Yup, it was indirectly caused by her useless, drunk husband at a dinner event many years ago. And until NOw, I can't forgive her for making my mother go through so much pain. So yeah, she can take her credit cards, her useless drunk husband, her diabetes and her whatever the hell she has, and go somewhere else. Leave us alone, we don't want to paint your walls for you. NO!!

Aiming for the music posts...

Sorry for the non-existent morning post, dear readers. I'm trying to make my posts show at Music To My Ears, although I'm positively sure most entries are posted. Must have been something weird I've done. So, meanwhile do bear with me as I'm "struggling" to make everything run smoothly. Meanwhile, do keep on dropping your cards and do visit Music To My Ears too. A million thanks to you all readers and droppers!!

Teenage California KFC employees strip down and bathe in sink

A trio of Anderson girls are in hot water with their fast-food employer for dipping themselves into the sink used to clean dishes.

One of the girls bathing in the sink at the Anderson Kentucky Fried Chicken posted the photos on the Internet and after management learned of them, all three were suspended today, said Cheri, assistant manager at the restaurant. She declined to give her last name.





“The girls are being reprimanded for it,” Cheri said.

She said she learned of the photos, which had been posted publicly on the girl’s MySpace.com social Web site, during the dinner rush today.

The photos, which appeared to have been posted late last month, showed the girls bathing in the deep commercial sink and posing in their underwear and swimwear.

“I was in shock when I saw it,” Cheri said.

Emerald Forest Sweeteners, They Are The New Sweeteners!!

I’m sure many of us may or might suffer from diabetes due to consuming too much sugary foods or having an imbalance diet of high sugar intake. And also take note of the fact that too much sugar will ultimately cause tooth decays and obesity too. And this is the one reason why we should use healthy sugar substitute instead of regular sugar. Emerald Forest provides good and high quality all natural sweeteners.

Among the sweeteners provided are Xylitol and Eerythritol sweeteners. Don’t let these names fool you that easily though. Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that is found in the fibers of fruits and vegetables which we eat everyday and can also be extracted from corn fiber too. It isn’t really sugar but it tastes exactly the same as sugar. Xylitol is also low calorie, with only 2.4 calories per gram and it also doubles as a low carbohydrate natural sweetener too. And therefore, it is absolutely safe for diabetes to consume and also at the same time very beneficial to our molars, unlike regular sugar.

Erythritol looks and also tastes like sugar with the difference that it does not contain calories and therefore, does not cause any tooth decays nor does it affect your blood sugar at all. Not that I’m saying that you should go and eat as much sweet stuff as you can.
