What The 666?!

I'm somewhat divided for this one here. For Chinese superstition, 666 is actually 'prosperity thrice over'. But according to Western superstition, 666 is the sign of the beast....

Fluff Food

I'm a sucker for buying new Fluff food, and as many as I can!!

Pukun Show

Mornings are never complete without going over to Midori-chan's house for a dance-off. Music choice? Caramel dansen!!!





Next up, to spiffy up the Dolls selection by purchasing a Koala Doll and Ox Doll. More dolls please!!





Followed by a Blue Tang Suit for a spiffy new look.


And no, I am not going to pay cold hard cash just to get more coins. I'll rather spend it on something else that is physical, not online.

Bring It On!

Due to the fact that what I've said in this post is mainly targeted at a very minute group of people who are very good at pretending to be victims at my *********, this post has been toned down with some slang. So, if you're American and in your teenage years, then you maybe know what I'm referring about. Yup, I'm talking about Those-I-Can't-Be-Bothered-To-Name-At-All. Worse than Lord Voldermort, scheming and cunning and cowardly.


You see, it started with my big mouth and this Annie Reksic, who is such a B-Whore overheard me and indirectly threaten me. And her beloved Fruitcakes all promptly disappeared for god knows how dang long. Maybe to have their own Bitchy Koo, and it was like, "I almost got my ass kicked. Literally!"

I mean, both of them are like a WholeBigBunch of Whore Bags, while she herself is such a Road Whore that you simply can't give her anymore Props. Like god, they are (more specifically, the both of them) are like such Fuck Nuts.

I remember I thought he used to be a Stud Mongor, but he proved to be a real Slut Mongor instead with all that hurting. Heck, that is someone I wouldn't want to give Eternal Props. I mean Clap, Slap Forehead, Put Down, if you want to say Fah Q to me that badly, just say it in my face instead of trying to be a Bomb Shell. Yes, they both really are Wankers, and I mean big time WANKERS.

Yup, go on and take your holiday to go for some Bongtastic event like any of us actually care. Generally, you think you are a responsible person, but you're just a Cunfussed piece of Whore Bag trying to act all tough. All bark and no bite!!

Marigold: Lucky Draw

Since we're always buying it, might as well join the lucky draw. Who knows I might get lucky? And for starters, I'm not going to be too greedy. The consolation prize of SGD388 is more than enough for me!!

Penny For Your Thoughts

Hmmm...

Let's Go To The Casher!!

Remember to pay at the "Casher Counter" if you buying food products that need to be weighed.





The chips were not my choice, although I recommend this brand to my mother (for consideration).





Seafood!! I "see food and I eat food!!"

Easy Peasy It's So Over Tomorrow

Well, I'll be going back to work on 25 February and this means that posts on this blog will be kept to a minimum of 2 posts per day. Seriously, I'm a dedicated and serious worker and I don't believe in blogging when I'm supposed to be working. And this is called responsibility and professionalism, and to top it off, I don't do butt-kissing or book-licking as it's so not my style and it goes against my personal morale and pride as a human being. But well, I'll still continue sending twits during free time, so it might be a good idea to sign up and follow my twits if you're interested in knowing what goes on in my life when I'm not blogging. Good idea, right?

That Plus Sign Joke

Nope! I'm not a Christian, neither am I a Catholic. But I've always like crucifixes since my school days. And my favorite symbol is the (egyptian) ankh as it symbolizes life, although my previous ankh necklace was...um... damaged that it resembled more like a loop and "T" sign separately. Don't ask me how it came from one to 2, I've no idea how it happened either.

Obama & Unicorn

I was browsing the Internet via StumbleUpon and saw this beautiful Barack Obama Riding A Unicorn T-shirt and thought, "What the hell? It looks so whimsical and cute!!" and decided to get one for myself!! Get ready for T-shirt porn action, peeps!!




The e-mail stated that I'll receive my T-shirt within 2 - 3 weeks time, but I think the waiting time is actually even shorter.





Upon opening up the package, I was very assured that it was the T-shirt I've been anxiously waiting for. (The package came in the morning)





Say "Hi!" to Mr. Obama, who is seen sitting on a unicorn.





I flanned out the T-shirt here so that you all can see it in its glory.





Here's how it looked like after wearing it.


If you're interested in getting one for yourself, go on over to Chris Bishop. It's USD25.00 + USD3.00 shipping = USD28.00. And I'd say the price is affordable from the many patterned T-shirts I've seen off the Net.

Teddy Bread Woes

I remember buying this teddy sometime during Thanksgiving last year and since it's made of fluff, I thought that I could get away with it by stuffing the bear inside my locker. Bad choice, as the bear got mistaken for something else instead.

Pu Niao: [came in to get a drink]... So thirsty.
Miss Tan: [upon seeing the big beige lump in my locker] Do you have enough water?
Pu Niao: Huh!?
Miss Tan: You bought so much bread, but do you have enough water to drink?
Pu Niao: Bread? What bread?
Miss Tan: There. [pointing to the beige lump]
Pu Niao: Miss Tan, that is a teddy bear, not bread. I can't finish so much bread, no matter how much Brad Pitt is desirable~ ~ ~
Miss Tan: ......

Puffs & Kuehs

Hmm... which should I buy?





Ooh... Sardine puffs!!





You know what? I'll take the samosa as well!!

Overheard at my workplace

Miss Tan: Huh? I thought I heard someone calling for me.
Pu Niao: "I don't believe in fairytales. Too cynical..." (Miss Tan is from the Children's Department)
Chay: Wah piang, so cheem ah??
Miss Tan: Hmmm...
Pu Niao: Wahaha..

Clean It Up!!

I spent close to 10 minutes trying to yank off the cover and get to the blade.





See where the red arrow is pointing? It's the screw that holds the fan blade in place. Luckily industrial fans are easily to dismantle and put back together, if not, I'll be sweating throughout the night while running a fever...

Oooh... Curry Chicken!!

Yep, it looked yummy-licious and tempting as far as I know.





And I had a good time, especially with the potatoes, until...


I got a fever (it was 38.2 degrees Celsius) and felt warm and stuffy throughout the night. Urgh!!!

How to use a Nose Pore Pack

Take out one pack.





Tear open carefully and take out the pore pack.





With dry hands, peel apart the pore pack from the plastic strip.


Wash your face thoroughly as this product sticks well onto non-greasy facial surface(s). Once you're done washing your face, wipe dry your hands only. (Yup, leave the face wet, trust me!!)




With your dry hands, pull out the nose pore pack from the plastic sheet and attach the white side onto your nose. (If yours comes in white on both sides, the side that is attached to the plastic strip is the part that is to be plastered onto your nose).


Then, use a towel to gently pat dry your face and also at the same time, press the pore pack firmly down on your face. Normally, instructions stated that you have to leave it on for 15 minutes. But I prefer to leave mine for 20 to 30 minutes, or until totally dry.

And when you remove it, pull from one side and yank it away without hestitation. If you pause and slow down, the blackheads might not be "dislodged" from the pores and it'll be "hard work" down the wash basin. And once you remove the pore pack from your nose, marvel at the amount of blackheads you removed from your nose without having to squeeze them out and making your nose red like a clown.

As with beauty and vanity products, sometimes you have to use your own methods to see which one works best. Biore stated that you have to wet your nose as the strip works with the water particles to stick onto your nose. But Biore forgot to state that this product only works best when your face is in a non-greasy condition. Meaning, if your face is oily from a whole day's worth of work, school or whatever that causes sweat and blime, then this product won't be able to remove as much blackheads as it promised to.

So, if you have any friends, family members, colleagues, acquaintances who uses Biore Nose Pore Pack, do let them know the actual correct method in utilizing it by referring them to this page. At least save them the agony of buying so much Nose Pore Pack and thinking it doesn't work when it fact all it takes is to wash your face clean of any dirt and grime for it to be more effective than it is.

Baby Car Seats Are Important

There is no doubt that your baby deserves the most comfortable and safest car seats, but how do you know which is the best one to choose from ? The important features you should look for in a baby car seat should change from time to time as your baby grows. Typically, you should start with a rear-facing seat for a baby, and then slowly progress to a forward-facing child seat for toddlers, and then to a booster seat for children that are typically aged 4 to 6 years old.

When purchasing a baby car seat, always choose a rear-facing seat with sturdy harnesses. A three-point harness strap adequately secure the baby's shoulders and crotch. You may have to pay a few extra dollars for added features such as detachable bases that can be secured to your car, or adjustable bases, but these add-ons are definitely worth every penny spent. And do you know that some models even have convertible seats, which are great if you have a big or a fast-growing baby?

And have you heard of Britax car seats yet? Some of the innovative safety designs the Britax company has built into their car seats are side impact protection and anti-rebound bars. These important safety improvements help prevent the car seat from harsh rebounding during an impact and the side impact protection helps to prevent unnecessary injury from side impacts just as you might imagine.

Where did my Chilli Padi go??

I remembered my mother telling me, rather excitedly, that she wanted to grow a pot of chilli padis. But apparently, she was very hesitant to sticking with it. And it seems that she had this friend who happened to be staying at our block growing a pot of chilli padis. But the bad thing was that, some inconsiderate neighbor(s) decided to help themselves to the chilli padis instead of buying or growing their own. Seriously, it's these selfish folks, claiming to be neighors that spoiled the "Kampung spirit" everyone used to have back in the kampung days. Although I didn't live in one before, by just hearing my grandparents talked about it makes it sound vibrant, cosy and meaningful.

Now in HDB flats, condominiums, semi-D houses, everyone closed their doors and locked it from inside. Any form of smile or warm gesture will guarantee people staring down at you, thinking if you were planning to rob them. And of course, unscrupulous characters who snitch away your chilli padis without so much as asking. At the very least, leave a few bucks in the neighbors mailbox, followed by a note explaning that one needed the chilli padi in a hurry and since there was no time to run out and buy, said person simply pluck whatever was on the pot and now is paying back in cash terms due to not asking for permission first.

A little goes a long long way, that is definite for sure. I mean, is it that hard to just simply ask in the first place? And by the way, my mother ended up not growing her pot of chilli padi and settled for some indiscernible plants instead.

Mee Rebus

I actually wanted Mee Goreng, but the mak-cik said that it was sold out already. So the next Mee that popped to mind was Rebus... Dang! I haven't eaten any authentic Mee Goreng for like close to 9 years after I left secondary school!!

It was 1.8KG heavy!!!

My mother claimed that it looks like a baby's head. And my relative decided to rub it in by claiming that this was supposed to be my twin, but I "ate up" my twin and harbored it inside me for 26 years!!


But hey, at least I've dropped close to 5KG after getting rid of it. Although I was hoping to lose close to 10KG after getting rid of the fibroid...

Balloons & Flowers...

Mama Pu: Is that a guy or a girl?
Pu Niao: Oh, it's a... guy with ballooons? So lucky!!
Mama Pu: Very unusual for guys to receive flowers and balloons...
Pu Niao: Must be a girl who's into Japan and all things Japanese, I think??
Mama Pu: Why?
Pu Niao: In Japan, girls give out chocolates, called giri choco (obligatory chocolates) to the guy(s) she likes.
Mama Pu: Chocolate very normal mah!!
Pu Niao: But on 14 March, which is Saint White's Day, guys are obligated to give something white to the girl he likes the most.
Mama Pu: Wah! So cheem (cheem means profound)..

Accomplishments @ Chopsticks

Well, I've decided that I needed to put these babies up somewhere on my blog and as I've said in an earlier post, I don't really have much space to put them. So, I've decided to put up the links to the memes and awards that I've either joined, started or received. In this way, visitors to -Chopsticks- need not have to dig through so many entries or scroll all over the blog entries to find what they are looking for. Right underneath Adventures With Chopsticks where all the recent posts are located is a new header called Accomplishments At Chopsticks that leads to the memes and awards. So hence, that is where readers, new or old to -Chopsticks-, need to look at if they need to find the meme in which I have done tagging.





P/S: Besides, links to the individual pages won't take up so much bandwidth and slow down the loading time of -Chopsticks-, unlike images does. So there goes!!

Apple Crumbly... Yummy-licious!!
