Anyway, how are you all doing? For me, same old, really. Go to F7, write stories or factbooks, try my very best to finish my schoolwork... all that fluff.

On another note, I would like to ask: Do you guys have a TET Discord server? I heard it was mentioned before, so yeah. :P

In a million years, when alien archaeologists come to Earth, they will dig deep into Southeast Asia and they will see three things: our bones, our plastic, and our rice.

Aww, I see. Nah, it's fine! It's all good and well here too, so I'm just curious that we got a Discord too (well, used to, but still!) :lol:

You're not you when you didn't get your rice.

We joke, but it's actually true... Me and my bro are used to European food and cuisine now and then, so even if we don't eat rice for a day, that's fine and we are still content. For my parents, nope! They might eat a burger or a plate of pasta with us, but THEN they will go for a bowl of rice because they felt empty without rice.

Imagine being Asian but allergic to rice, an unfortunate fate that has befallen one of my close RL friends.

Five hours, another seven to go.

Luckily I’ve actually slept my full 8 hours for once, but I woke up a bit too early.

I hope you're being compensated for that workload. I hate overtime too, but even worse is unpaid overtime.

Why do people think that a system where organ-grinder A goes to talk to organ-grinder B is improved by A and B instead giving vague instructions to Monkey C and Monkey D who then repeatedly come back to their masters and make confused "ooo-ooo" noises while the entire project slides inexorably down the toilet of eternal zero-progress?
