If we are together...

If we are together, we have no fear. We fear not even that our own bodies may fade away.



"YAY~! TSUBASA~~!!" is the sentence I still can't believe that I shouted after realizing that Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE chapter 183 is finally out after almost twenty days of waiting.



An extremely cool colour spread to start off the chapter that we have been anticipating, depicting Syaoran, Sakura, Clone Syaoran and Clone Sakura. ^_^

Argh! Chapter is too short! Too short!! The three of them made it to Clow Country safely, at the expense of Yuuko getting all tired and beaten up, probably in a struggle against Fei Wong's defensive mechanisms, which act as a mean of preventing entry into his secretive hideout, haha. ...I still like the chapter cover though. :)



Ahhh... Today has been a looooong day. Where should I start first...?

Lol, it's bad to start the day with half of my right eye being red, man, seriously bad. I think I have some trauma with conjunctivitis, and I don't want to see any more red eyes to remind me of that...



Oh well, I'm glad that it is gone the next time I remembered to check. And you can't really see it in the photo I took out of boredom, haha, but it's on the left part of my eye. ;P

Since today is the last third day of my work here [reminds me of the movie L: Change the WorLd, where they would show how many days L has left until he dies (he wrote his name on the Death Note, writing that he would die peacefully twenty-three days later, in the movie, so as to make himself immune to any further deaths caused by any other Death Notes). Hmmm...

あと3天

Note: Means three days remaining. ^_^], I decided to take some photos of the workplace before work starts at 7pm, as some sort of souvenirs, haha.





I think our boss at work is a follower of yin and yang, requiring harmonious balances between two sharp contrasts. And why would I say that? Because while there is almost nothing for us to do yesterday...



Freakin' hell, and this is just the tip of the iceberg (since my line handles the mail to Singapore, and these 29 cartons, with 1400 mail in each, are full of mail which entirely goes to Singapore... There are others, you know, to other countries, but they are for the other three lines. In other words, none of our businesses XD).

Breakfast time, yay! :D I took a photo of Sin Wei and my roti pratas, since I know that I probably won't get to eat them ever again after Saturday. D: If only I can still continue eating them after I left work, sigh, haha... But I guess I'm just too lazy to get over here just to eat breakfast. XD

So this photo will do! ;D



Kim Hui ended up eating roti prata as well, lmao, so second uncle was the only one there out of the four of us to not eat roti prata (he never eats breakfast; always just drink a cup of coffee). XD After we finished, I fooled around and this was what happened (o.O):





And this is the top view, zoomed in to look at whatever curry Kim Hui remains. XD



Phew. We finally checked through the... *calculates what is 29 multiplied by 1400* 40,600 mail being addressed to various places all over Singapore, pack them up into bags and load those bags up on the pallets, after around four or five hours. I'm rather proud of this one.





Those in yellow bags are to local addresses, while those in blue are to overseas. As you probably would have figured by now, we only did the yellow bags; other lines handled those blue ones. ;D So nope, we are not claiming all the credit, nuh-uh.

As today is Thursday, our line is also scheduled to throw away the cardboard and rubbish. I wanted Kim Hui to go along with me, but apparently, he is busy with paperwork, so my line leader got Hoe [sometimes also known as third uncle, because he is in the uncle in the third line that I work in (so that's why I sometimes call Koh first uncle, and Tan, who always eat with us now, second uncle XD)] to come along with me. Sebastian (remember the guy I mentioned who likes to whistle a lot? I rather like that guy, haha. He's humourous ^_^) also came along on the lift, since he was going to the first floor for some other reason. Took a photo of the trolley fulled of cardboard that we have to dispose of.



That's third uncle's hands on the right by the way. XD

Went back and poured some water. Thought I should take a photo of the water cooler that I have been getting water out of for the past month or so as well. XD



And in the photo as well, along with my right hand holding it, is the very water bottle that Hong Wei and I bought together on the first day of work, in the Cheers convenience store at Tampines MRT Station before we boarded the bus to work, which cost us $2 for each bottle. XD That rubber band on its neck is because, well, I found some rubber band during work on the floor which I like, so I picked it up and wore it on my fist like a gauntlets, haha, so I got kind of attached to it, but seeing that it would be a pain in the ass to keep it on my hand for so long, but not wanting to lose it, I attached it onto my water bottle, haha. This would also serve to differentiate mine from Hong Wei's. XD

Ate lunch with Sin Wei and Kim Hui. The three of us ate from different stalls, lmao. I ate from the noodles stall, Sin Wei from the mixed rice stall, and Kim Hui from the Malay stall. While all three of us ate from the same stall yesterday, today we eat from different ones. XD

After lunch, I pulled Sin Wei's staff card (which is needed to open the staff-exclusive door, and I put mine inside my wallet and used it like my Ez-Link card XD), which is attached to a retractable cord, and played around with it, finally taking a photo for the fun of it. XD



After work, while everyone was waiting for the God damned bus to come (fancy taking its own sweet time to arrive with a dramatic entrance, making us all wait under the hot sun), I tried to take a photo with Kim Hui, as a souvenir or something, lmao. But the problem...?



The sun's sharp glares made my eyes all squinty. Kim Hui told me he doesn't know how to smile in front of a camera. -.- (Making my squinty eyes problem seem like nothing before his problem...)

Oh well, whatever. I'll appreciate that photo nevertheless, as a sign of our friendship. :D

Took a few more photos of the surroundings during the boring wait. XD





I even tested out my handphone's zooming function. Zoomed in to the max and took a photo of Kim Hui and my shoes. XD! Lol, real boredom, haha.



Guess who's is who's? XP

Highlight to reveal answer: Mine is on the left, Kim Hui's is on the right. ;)

Met up with Ming Yuen after work at Tampines MRT Station to play LAN together. That guy, he seriously likes to make people wait, lmao. I had enough time to pop into the ATM machine to get $30 (I figured I need some cash for tomorrow's meals as well), top up $10 into my Ez-Link card (which is running out as fast as water running out of a broken dam -.-) and into the toilet to heed the nature's call. -_____-

We went to this LAN shop he found. Damn, it was sure well hidden, behind some game posters, with a signboard of a tuition center above. -.-

We played Warcraft III. Ming Yuen wanted to learn how to use Orcs, while I decided to fool around and use Humans. Our enemies were computers using Undead and Night Elves, and damn! They swarm our bases, waves our waves! The fight was a bad one since right from the start. Having not touch Warcraft III for so long, I looked at the screen, showing my five Peasants, Town Hall and Gold Mine, and stared for around fifteen seconds, wondering what I should be doing... -.-

And oh, while people would often rush to get a Hero out so he can creep early, I forgot about my hero completely until I realized something is missing, so I hurried to build an Altar of Kings. -.- And after the altar is completed, I forgot summoning a Hero. -_____- After fifteen minutes, their combined efforts, in forms of waves after waves, were so bad that our forces were decimated, and our defensive towers were almost all gone. Told him "good game, let's restart".

Second game, I decided to unleash my full strength and used Orcs (since I am the most comfortable with them), while Ming Yuen sticked with Orcs. I forgot who our opponents were. Hmmm... Hang on, let me concentrate on thinking... Yeah, I remember seeing some Knights and Gryphon Riders, so one of them must be Human. The other...? Uh... I think there was a Blademaster... Or was it in the next game...? Ah, can't remember.

So anyway, for our second game, we fucking screwed up our defenses. Totally placed our Watch Towers in completely wrong positions, so our armies were easily decimated without support fire from defensive towers. -.- Told him, "fucking gg, lets restart -.-". XD

Third game was a better one, haha. The two of us, again, were using Orcs, along with a computer opponent, while the fourth one uses Human. We knew where our mistake went, and set up Watch Towers in strategical locations. Our armies were better composed this time too. I made sure to get some Shamans with Bloodlust for some offensive boost, while he got some Troll Berserkers out as well, for some anti-air offense.

We were practically turtling while boosting up our firepowers (Taurens with Shamans for Bloodlust really rock, mwahahah :D), decimating enemies after enemies who were brave enough to approach us, with ten or so Watch Towers all concentrated in one location. XD (Don't worry, I target whatever Mortar Teams and Demolishers they threw at us first, top priority XD)

After seeing that their army is weak or so, we went in for the kill. It was rather easy. Just select my entire army, click Attack, and click on the ground at the enemy's base. This nifty little command makes my army rush towards the enemy's base, engaging any hostile units on sight and not relenting until the enemies are killed. :D With that, I easily crushed them and kicked their asses, and still have time to secretly take this photo of Ming Yuen. XD



Must admit, he was so absorbed in the game he didn't even realize what I was up to, lol! Guess he doesn't know the nifty Attack-Ground shortcut, eh? XD

Before we left, I told him to get over and take some photos with me. XD



This one wasn't clear because I switched Flash off (to take the previous photo of him playing Warcraft. I can imagine what would happen if I switch it on, especially in that dark place), haha.



This one is much better. :)

After some long chat with him about work (talking about Hong Wei who have left, me who is about to leave, Andy and Ming Yuen himself who have to leave for further education sooner or later, and Kim Hui and Sin Wei who told me they were planning to leave. In other words, everyone is tired of working, either due to low pay or stuff, and wants to leave XD), we went home in separate ways, haha.

Hmm... I'm thinking of changing my blog banner, and maybe my footer too (been lazy to change it, so I have been using the third footer I made for quite some time...). Well, I'm thinking of doing a Naruto-theme one this time, depicting my favorite opening, Go!!. Hmmm...

Was feeling rather hungry just now, since I ate dinner rather early, so I went to raid the fridge to see if there was anything. Expecting to get no results out of my search (you see, I'm someone to instantly finish whatever good food there is, and my mother often won't bother to restock, so most of the time there's nothing for me to eat at home D:), I was shocked to see a bottle of coca-cola in the fridge, buried under oranges and other fruits. When I uncovered it, meh, it was a bottle of vanilla coca-cola, effectively making me stop wondering why I still have coca-cola left in the fridge.

I don't drink vanilla coca-cola, you see. Never drank it before, but don't know for what reason, don't like to drink it, so I would never buy it. Meh, probably a gift along with some packet of rice my parents bought or something. I decided to give it a try, since I was hungry and all. Tasted like root beer. Not my taste.



Lol, I'm surprised at my speed of being able to read through chapters of MÄR so quickly... But then again, this is from the guy who finished watching all 52 episodes of Tsubasa Chronicle in a week. XD



Snow looks so cute when she's all burned up. XP



I just love Ginta, Alviss and Dorothy's reactions when they learnt that Alan is allergic to cats. XD Seems like all men, no matter how strong, have their own weaknesses, eh?



Lol, Nanashi is such a freaking flirt. XD



Lol at Ed (the dog)'s reaction. Serious lol. XD



Lol, the Chess, good with public relations? Give me a break, man! XD

And oh... Well... you see... Dorothy is so cute I ended up with eleven pictures of her.























ドロシーちゃんは可愛いね。 (Doroshii-chan wa kawaii ne.; Dorothy-chan is cute, isn't she?)
