I'm grateful for your existence

いつも支えてくれる人達に
日頃の想いを込めたラプソディー
アプリシエーションの気持ちよ 届け
いつもありがとう 本当ありがとう
たとえ何処にいたって君の存在に感謝してるよ

Itsumo sasaete kureru hitotachi ni
Higorono omoi wo kometa RHAPSODY e
APPRECIATION no kimochi wo todoke
Itsumo arigatou hontou arigatou
Tatoe doko ni tatte kimi no sonzai ni kansha shiteru yo


For the people who always support me
A rhapsody with my usual feelings put into it
Send out my feelings of appreciation
Thank you, always, thank you, really
No matter where I am, I'm grateful for your existence



Wish everyone had a happy winter solstice. Have fun and enjoy eating your tangyuan. :D Don't eat too fast and choke on it though. x_X

After today is over, there would be more hours of daylight, meaning more warmth, yay. Today is the coldest it can get all throughout this year, whoohoo. We no longer have to tolerate this shitty cold!

Here are some pictures of my tangyuan that I would like to share. o.O



Here is a picture of them still boiling. They tend to sink when still raw, but when they are boiled well enough and ready for consumption, they will float. Anyone like to explain why? O.o Must have something to do with the density decreasing as it gets heated up. Lol.



I know some don't look spheroidal. I have only my lousy tangyuan-forming skills to blame, which only gets trained once per year. Oh, and did I mention that I used to love making "tangyuan" with the shapes of pyramids and cubes?



All ready for me to eat. Eh, wait, not yet. This is my grandfather's bowl, which has no sugar because he is diabetic. :( He let me take a photo of his first for blogging purposes. XP



Work today, ah well, so-so. I managed to push away sub for both today and tomorrow. Yay, three cheers. Hip-hip hooray! Hip-hip hooray! Hip-hip hooray! I can imagine myself on that ship, successfully defending myself and fending off the demon, first knocking her back with the side (not the edge) of my sword, and then casting one Raitei Shourai at her. ^_^

Hong Wei isn't so lucky though. Poor him. :(

And oh, guess what? I'm going back to work tomorrow as well. On a Sunday. =.= Yes, I hinted on it just now. Why would I care whether I have sub tomorrow or not if I'm not going, lol? =.= Yeah, a pay of $10 per hour is just too great a desire to resist.

Lol, at the beginning of lunch today, Hong Wei and I were going to the toilet before we head down to the coffee shop. On the way to the toilet, I sneezed four times consecutive in a row, haha. That reminded me of one of Urahara Kisuke's quotes from Bleach.
"ACHEWWW (sneezes) OOOH there must be a pretty girl thinking about me!"
-Urahara Kisuke, Bleach
So I immediately told Hong Wei, "Yeah! There must be a chiobu thinking of me!" XD

And in the toilet, wow, it sounded almost as if I was right on, as my handphone started to ring because I've got a new SMS. I hurried to check who (or more specifically, which chiobu) it is. :P (After drying my hands on the hand dryer first though, of course. I'm not crazy enough to damage my handphone with the moisture on my hands XD) It was just Caleb, wishing me a happy winter solstice.

Caleb, I appreciate ya bothered doing so, pal, but maybe... um... you sent the SMS at a wrong time? ^_^"

Sin Wei came and joined Hong Wei and I at lunch halfway. As again, Hong Wei was keeping silent the whole time with an expressionless, emotionless face, while Sin Wei and I chatted. While walking back to the factory, I decided to comment on that.

"Hey, Hong Wei, why are you so quiet when you are with us, and yet, back at work, you can both chat and smile with the people working in the same line as you?"

His reply? "Sai".

Sin Wei was assuming that Hong Wei was talking about the weather, since "sai" can mean hot in Singlish (more specifically talking about the large amount of light and heat energy coming in from the Sun, to my knowledge). I know better though, Hong Wei was referring to the "sai" as in "shit", lmao (doesn't it confuse you that the word "sai" has at least two different meanings, despite both in the same language of Singlish? O.o), using it to the context of something like "Nonsense!", as reply to my question, lol.

While on the bus back home, I saw the bus went past my old school, Ngee Ann Secondary, outside the window. There was a big, prominent banner displayed, saying: "NGEE ANN WELCOMES OUR NEW STUDENTS". I had to resist an overwhelming urge to place another banner below adding: "AND SHOOS AWAY OUR OLD STUDENTS".

So sad, lol. We are in there for four years and now they chase us out, just because of this Chinese proverb that says "旧的不去,新的不来。 (If the old doesn't go, the new won't come.)". So cruel. T_T



Lol, I watched Bleach episode 153 just now. Cirucci Thunderwitch, that Privaron Espada numbered 105 whom fought against Ishida, had such a cute and sweet voice...!!

Lol, I went to check, and her seiyuu also plays as Clare from Claymore (Vernon's chiobu, lol) and Kasumi from Dead or Alive, haha.

Ishida's way of fighting is exactly like that of standard archers in MMORPGs. Hit-and-run tactics, and sometimes throw in some kiting as well. Those who play archers, you may like to watch this fight and try to learn something. :O

Ishida, you noob. If you want to do both hit-and-run and kiting, your own speed is very important. Stop running around. Just start fucking using Hirenkyaku. -.- I hate it when they have Shunpo/Hirenkyaku/Sonido and they can't be bothered to use it. =.=

Lmao, Rukia running up the stairs seem as if she's running upwards on an escalator heading downwards, and the speed of both Rukia and the escalator is the same (different velocities though, one is positive while the other is negative), so Rukia has zero relative velocity and is just at one fixed point. XD

Aaroniero sounded so freaking weird, scary AND creepy at the same time. :S



Yay, Bleach chapter 304! :D

Looking at the chapter cover... I couldn't help but think, "Two crazy fuckers." o.O

Here are my comments after reading the chapter:

What.

The.

Fuck.

...Today's chapter was not only disappointing, it was disgusting as well. Fucking disgusting. Fucking Szayel just won't fucking die, that fucking son of a bitch.



Time for One Piece. Hopes that it makes up for the disappointing Bleach chapter today.

Chapter cover looks great! =D It's a coloured, two-page one by the way, lol.

Lol at Usopp, Nami and Chopper crying that the others are disappearing.
Lol at some random pirates celebrating at the return of their noobish shadows
Lol at Kaidou being a Yonkou. You know, the guy whom Moria swore revenge on?
Lmao at the girl breaking shit just because she can see herself in the mirror XD
Lol, the owner of the shadow of the zombie of Cindry (o.O) looks rather cute :P If she's not crying like a waterfall, that is.

Yay, the Straw Hats got their shadows back! :D Finally, took the long enough, lmao.

Robin: I felt for a moment that I was going up to the heavens.
Sanji: That's not bad either! I want to go up to the heavens together with Robin-chan!

XD

I think they better hurry up and get the fuck out of there. With all the shadows off the zombies, the corpses are going to fucking rot, and it's going to fucking stink like no fucking tomorrow. :S Sorry for the excess usage of vulgarities here.

Lol, Hogback and Absalom survived. Wait, what the heck. This is One Piece. No villains die no matter what the shit they do or what the shit others do to them. Lol.

Lola: To repay this favour, I've decided to marry you guys!
Zoro, Usopp and Franky together: Don't want.

XD

Looks like Kuma is going to be the next Shichibukai to go down, right immediately after Moria. The balance in this world shit is going to get screwed up.

If Zoro can't defeat Kuma, there's no way he can defeat Mihawk. So, go, Zoro. :D

Lol, Kuma can do Shunpo! :O No, wait, this is One Piece... I mean, Soru. o.O

Zoro vs Kuma next week. Looking forward to it!

Oh wait, no Bleach nor One Piece chapters next week. Fuuuuuuuuuck. Okay, looking forward to it two weeks later. -.-
