Afterword:

The 'Shabu Shabu' rock in Kek Lok Si Temple in Penang. No, it's not about the Legend of Shabu Shabu. Yes, it's in Chinese. No, I'm too lazy to squint my eyes to try and make out what it's talking about.

Special thanks to unsup and family for bringing me around and providing the prompt for this story.

Shabu shabu, in case you didn't know, is a Japanese hotpot dish of thinly sliced meat and vegetables.

( How can anyone resist Nino's butt? )

It's been too long

Hi all. It's been way too long since I posted here huh?

I wanted to post something last time... But! Because my macOS is on beta... Chrome crashes after a while when I make posts on LJ and all my drafts are not saved. So I got real pissed after my long, almost finished post was deleted and ended up not posting anything. Seems like it's ok with the latest beta release though. Phew. No more missing content.

Still having problems with my iOS beta updates. After beta 2 something broke inside and I can't do OTA updates anymore sigh. OTA = over the air. Cos beta updates... You can't get them through iTunes. So I'm hoping that I can update to the official public release using iTunes in a week or two. Else... It's gonna be a little troublesome...

I'm happily slacking at home now. 5 days. 5 days of mc. Hurrah! But why the mc? Cos I got my wisdom tooth extracted yesterday. All four of 'em. 3 via surgery and one via normal extraction. To say that my mouth hurts now is an understatement. Ok. It's not really painful now.... It was yesterday though and I had to take two types of painkillers. Will be another dose of the long acting painkiller soon. But well... My right cheek is super swollen and all numb from the swelling. And thanks to all that swelling, I can't bite because the extraction site has swelled too much. So yeah. No solid food for a bit. Hopefully it won't bleed much tonight. This morning I woke up stinking cos the bloody saliva had flowed down my face and onto my pillow. Which is to be expected and normal after wisdom tooth surgery... But well. It stinks, thanks to all the bacteria growth. Because of the blood I guess. I've been listening to a lot of microbio podcasts and apparently iron is a huge growth limiting factor for many environmental microbes. No doubt they were really happy to feast on my blood, hence the stink.

Oh. And my follow up appointment is next Monday. So no work on Monday either. Hurrah!

Work.

Well I know I wanted to post a massive rant about work last time. But then chrome crashed. And now I've forgotten what I was gonna say. But no matter. Because I have something new and even more ridiculous to post.

They have fucking installed CCTVs in every single lab, every single tiny room, facing every single lab bench... All over the lab. And all footage will be recorded, and they even installed a fucking huge monitor in the lab tech office for the sole purpose of viewing the footage. And I mean it when I say every single row of lab bench. There's a fucking camera every two steps when you walk down the corridor besides the lab bench. Every single fucking bench.

Wtf do they think this is?

Prison?

Wtf?

If they can't even trust us... Why hire us at all?

Why hire people at all?

They are treating us even worst than primary school kids.

Seriously wtf?

If you can't treat us like an adult, than no I'm not gonna act like an adult. I'll just slack and pretend to do work and take about 500% slower to do everything.

What the fuck am I even showing up to work for? Just to collect my salary, really. Total, total, waste of time. I can't stand working in this place anymore... But I can't be bothered to look for another job. I will just slack and recover my energies, and try to study for GRE and prepare for PhD program applications. I don't want to add to my stress anymore. I can't. I can't do this shit. Already my body is showing every sign of being overly stressed.

I feel mentally ok. Frustrated and all, but not really that stressed. But evidently my body tells me otherwise. Like it's been months since my period. And last month when I got the flu, it took over 3 weeks for me to recover. Three, fucking weeks. Ridiculous much?

Needless to say, when the clerk handed me the mc and I saw it says 5 days, I was overjoyed.

I even started translating parts of the Japonism concert last night. And today I'm doing loads of writing. Posting to SF, this blog... Gotta do a post (or two) to NM later on cos it's been a whooping two weeks since i posted there... Posted my Jun fic which I finished a while back, and advertised that and the Jun and Ohno fic exchange everywhere...

Finally sometime to sort out my life...


Sigh. I need to study for GRE. But I want to slack a little. But... There's no time. Sigh. Gotta make the best of this week...

Alright. Can't think of anything else to say for now... Japonism... I've talked about it in SF already and I'll post on NM about it as well...

Oh fics! My fic Nino's Butt make it into LJ's top 25 entries when I posted it on RNA. My first ever fic to achieve this status (I believe?) I'm totally, utterly amazed. I guess everyone likes a good smut huh? Thank you everyone!

Ah yes~!

Happy Birthday Jun!
