I wrote a small fic because I had a lot of brainworms for Patapon :D
=================
Generals Cake the Megapon and Reyne the Megaton battled at Mt. Bakchoi Fort, and they each led a unit of their own. The battle was conclusive, Patapons won again, and so the remaining Zigoton retreated. Reyne had sustained heavy injuries.
Reyne retreated (crawled, really) to Patata Plain, dangerously close to Patapon territory. But she had no other choice. Out in the field was a resting Cake, looking up at the setting sun. Not wishing to battle in such a state, Reyne tries to go back from where she came; but only managed to alert the Patapon general.
"What are you doing here?" Cake approached carefully. Until she noticed Reyne was bleeding profusely. Reyne felt the need to somehow get the first strike in, but found herself being healed by the opposing tribe member instead.
"Huh??" Reyne asked, wary.
"We're on hunting grounds, therefore we cannot fight. These are sacred lands after all!" Cake proclaimed.
Reyne hated the idea of a filthy Patapon helping her, but she rather this than die helpless in enemy territory. That would be no way to go if you're a warrior! "Thanks." She muttered.
"There, all patched up!" Cake smiles at the Zigoton. "You must go, my tribesmen may not show you the same mercy," she helps Reyne up.
"My name is Cake. I'll see you on the battlefield again--" she pauses, urging the other to state her name.
"Reyne." she replies.
"I'll see you on the battlefield again, Reyne!" she bids the injured Zigoton adieu.
She gets back to her camp, and was looked after by the tribe. But somehow, she could not stop thinking about the Patapon she met. What an oddball, Reyne thought. She scoffs at the idea that there should be no blood spilled on hunting grounds, when every day their lives are a battle against each other. But it did intrigue her... Perhaps this Cake was just traditional or superstitious like the elders. Whichever way it goes, she desired something... More, one might say.
Reyne finds herself planning another visit to Patata Plain in the next few days.
=================
Okay that's all LMAO
I like to imagine when Queen Kharma sold her armies to the devil, Reyne's soul got included in the package deal and then she became an Akumapon too TToTT Lots of angst potential !!! But yes that's it for now byeeeee
the akumaton design in question
idk man, Reyne is just rly hot sorry
She would push Cake away because she doesn't want to hurt Cake, but Cake's gonna be like, "we can find a cure somehow!! It'll be okay!!" because she's kind like that but you knoooowwww
大家好! Besides yong tau foo, another healthy meal option for locals is lei cha (tea rice). Brown rice is commonly used in this dish, topped with choy sum (Chinese flowering cabbage), green beans, cabbage, tau kwa (firm tofu), chye poh (preserved turnip), peanuts and anchovies. It also comes with a green tea paste broth made from ground seeds, veggies and tea. I don't like basil and mint so I usually give the broth away. I don't like brown rice either except for congee but once all the toppings are mixed together with the rice, it's acceptable. MI, ML and CL introduced me to a lei cha stall and it was very tasty. The texture of the toppings was mostly crunchy, along with savoury notes from the anchovies and chye poh. YUM!
I thought of skipping news about the genocide in Gaza for this post but decided not to. There's too much suffering inflicted upon Palestinians. All the same, I'll need a short break to keep my spirits up, possibly for 1 or 2 weeks. I'll still be keeping abreast of the news and praying for an end to the war, but won't share articles for a short period of time. Maybe I'll post mukbangs or recipes, something more light-hearted and fun for abit before returning to the events in Gaza and the west bank.

I took leave on Friday so after my daily morning calisthenics, Pa and I treated ourselves to a buffet breakfast. First plate - cold soba, enoki mushrooms, seaweed and a tiny bit of soya sauce, smoked salmon, tofu with bakchoy and fish, steamed wong bak (Napa cabbage) with dried shrimp and conpoy, hashbrown and 2 eggs sunny side up. Next, more vegetables - mushrooms, wong bak, tofu with bakchoy and fish, topshell and cucumber salad, asparagus, braised chicken and siew mai. Third plate, fruit - watermelon, blueberries, dragonfruit, rock melon and delicious grapes. Finally, I shared waffles and ice cream with Pa. I was so stuffed, I went for a 15 minute walk/run at the park near my home later on to help with digestion; mostly brisk walking with about 5 minutes of running since I'm still new to running.
I introduced LL, my expat friend from China, to a place that serves 1 of the best meepok (flat yellow noodles) in Singapore. This isn't found at a hawker centre or hotel restaurant; it's a diner which specialises in siew lat (traditionally refers to roast pork and waxed duck, now commonly refers to roast meats). I ordered their char siew, green beans stirfried with garlic and har mai (dried shrimp), dong guai (angelica herb) roast duck and the star of the show, meepok. The char siew had a nice char and was lightly crispy on the outside and very tender on the inside. We adored it! Also loved their green beans which were fragrant and still retained a slight crunch. The duck was juicy with a robust herbal taste and that meepok, THAT MEEPOK! This is made in-house, not sourced from a supplier. It was slurpable, QQ and oh so smooooooth! This delighted our senses so much. Enjoy the video!
Well! It's the start of a brand new week and I'm feeling less exhausted after taking Friday off. There will be more to come as I clear my leave for the year and carry forward the number of leave days the company allows to 2025. Time really flies; we're approaching the end of the third quarter of 2024. My mini getaway with YL is also happening in 2 weeks. Can't wait! 下次见!
