Binged #OnePiece Netflix Season 2 & I must say the Drum Island Arc is the best arc so far in the live-action series. 🌸 IMO the story fits better with the darker tone of the live action than it did in the anime. It feels much more emotionally impactful.

Looking through some #Bleach post, then suddenly remembered Ichigo & Tatsuki are gamers, but forgot which game they played (it was mentioned in the manga). Went digging back & found out it's #Tekken lol! Fyi, Harada fav manga is Bleach. So... when is Ichigo going to join Tekken???

Wasn't expecting Loki's attack in One Piece latest chapter to be called 'Nibelheim'. At first I thought it was a mistake, that it should be 'Niflheim'? But the katakana is ニブルヘイム. LOL I'm not sure, maybe someone will question him in SBS. But would be nice if it was intended ref from FF7~🤞🏻

Wrapping up the year for #UOWMalaysia with #ComicFiesta2025 last weekend! 🎉 Ahhh I was super exhausted throughout CF this year, but incredibly grateful for all the help from students & colleagues. Really appreciate everyone who came by to see us! Despite all, I had fun with everyone at our booth~🫶🏻

Seeing my students & colleagues having so much fun at CF made it absolutely worth getting a bigger booth this year ✨️

Glad to see so many people interested in playtesting our students’ games~✨ Kudos to the teams for manning the session the entire day! 💪🏻 Hope you all get plenty of helpful feedback.

Meet the students & lecturers behind our mini art market! 👋🏻 Guiding some of them on managing an art booth.

Despite the sudden comeback & change of booth location, I’m really grateful that many of my old stuff were sold, several #Bleach prints even sold out. TQSM to everyone who took the time to drop by & support~! 🙏🏻

Looking at where X is going, I’m heading back here after 6 months? Well, actually... I came back a few months ago, but I dunno why my posts weren’t showing up. 🫠 After trying a bunch of times, I gave up & stopped using it. Hopefully this time it works. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Late post, but after waiting 2 years, I’m beyond excited! Super grateful to a friend for helping me secure the #MTGxFinalFantasy set early at his LCG with PO price. The shopkeeper’s service was great! He even threw in a pouch & dice as free gifts! ✨️ Left is my gift bundle, coming in July.

Kindness is really being questioned lately. I helped u buy the items using my acc & vouchers so u could get it cheaper for ur son's health. Yet u questioned me cuz ur friend said it might be from a fake shop. Why would I do that? If that’s the kind of trust I get, maybe next time u get it urself.

In my 10 years of teaching, I rarely faced this kind of issue. While teaching special needs students is undoubtedly challenging, it’s also a joy due to their positive attitudes & eagerness to learn. But after facing this troubling behavior for 2 consecutive sems, I feel really worried now. 😔 (2/2)

010

Y'ng @yyng7.bsky.social · 09/05/2025

Truly disheartening when students with special needs take advantage of your kindness. You try your best to support them through the module, but met with defensiveness & tantrums. What's saddest is they are aware of their special status & use it to manipulate situations to their advantage. (1/2)

Although we wish Hazmer could be here, we're grateful he's encouraging his team to lead the talk.

One of the longest Q&A session! Nearly 50 minutes. But great engagement between the speakers & students.
