CNY is coming! Random rumblings.
Hohoho.
So I'm being naughty at work again. Nah really... my sup still hasn't come in yet... and even though I'm walking without crutches now my parents refuse to let me take public transport for a few more weeks yet... so I've been reaching the office really early... and doing stuff like read through my LJ friend feed before office hours. Or even during office hours. Its like ppl are coming in even later now cos CNY is coming? IDK. The office just feels... empty. And after editing the manuscript I don't really have anything new to do... So guess what this naughty worker has been doing all day yesterday? I edited the manuscript a little more, but mostly i was writing my fic. I wrote a whooping 7.5k words yesterday can you believe it? No writers block or anything... this is just amazing. Of course I don't know if anyone else will even like my fic but still. Been wondering if I should... idk... send what I've written thus far to someone to help me read and give comments. Then again I'll have to rewrite some parts of the intro that I did two years ago... previously already changed Sho's background, now I'll have to change Aiba's as well... might have to do quite a bit of an overhaul. And I really need like a cheat sheet to list down all the 'facts' cos I keep forgetting what data I made up earlier. Like Ohno's age when XXX happened or something. Lol. All in all its going well though. I really do see a possibility of the fic being finished this year. *shall try not to over estimate my own abilities*
And weekend... was packing my room and all. Finished packing my table. Like the entire thing, even all the shelves on top that I've not touched since... sec sch. And even five of the 6 shelves in the book shelve beside my table (last one is too high up, and I don't really want to risk standing on a chair atm. looks pretty neat anyway so whatever.) Still gotta wipe the dust of the top of a cupboard, and stack everything up nicely on the former computer table... I've even wiped the dust off several of my shelves by my bed side. And really the 'remove everything and clean' wiping, not the 'push the books to the back and wipe whatever surface is exposed only' type. And I threw out alot of stuff too. All my sec sch, jc, uni notes. Finally realised that there's really no point in keeping them, and now i have a ton more space on my shelves --> which will be taken over by my mum soon. Which is fine, since I don't need that space anymore... so long as she's the one to pack them during the next spring cleaning... :P Also placed as much of my decoration crap in display shelves my mum bought from daiso as possible. So that the next time round I just have to wipe the plastic case and the shelves, and not bother with all the little trinklets and stuff... Been throwing away any sort of iron/metal or plastic/rubber thing that will either rust to nothingness, or melt into a horrid, disgusting, sticky mess. I think its really a... unique to singapore problem? Cos seriously i was throwing out the junk in my drawer and i found literally a whole pile of disgusting brownish metal thing that looks like... insect eggs or something except that its rust. The original article had completely rusted away to nothingness! Like seriously! Guess it can't be helped with the humidity level in sg being constantly above 70%, and that I've not cleaned up in a while. And the plastic/rubber stuff. It just melts in the weather. Disgusting really! So yup, been throwing away quite a bit of the metal stuff that I don't use and will rust, so hopefully the next time i clean up i don't see piles of disgusting rust powder everywhere. Put quite a lot of my stuff on the shelves in boxes too, for easy cleaning and all. it somehow gets dusty really fast in my room. I'd clean the printer/scanner top this week, and the next week its all dusty again, and looking really disgusting since its specks of whitish dust against black. Maybe cos its right next to the window and the wind is strong (and the traffic is heavy everywhere in this small city). So all in all... slow progress but i cleaned up a lot of places, and hopefully made my life easier for future spring cleaning sessions too.
Hmm right. Still no signs of moi boss. He didn't ask me to start lab work yesterday, and told me not to hurry in fact... which is good, cos I'm still walking really awkwardly and it HURTS at the end of the day. Like really hurts. Hasn't hurt that bad since... before the op. Hopefully by next week my ankle will be stronger and more flexible so walking isn't that awkward anymore... ah but really, the lack of flexibility it because I've been skimping off on the exercises ever since I started work. I really should do more ankle rotations and stuff while I'm sitting at my desk and happily typing away.
So CNY reunion dinner on thursday, and my relatives are coming to my house... hence the need for an extensive clean up. But among all the extensive clean ups I've really had it very easy this year. My dad is working exceptionally hard, he polished all the furniture, wiped all the glass... even cleaned the marble floor... and I've been spared all these because of my injury. Even then i had three days and even last night to pack my room and its STILL not done. In my defense I say that my ankle hurts really bad after walking on it, especially at the end of the day so I ended up lying in bed for a good three hours before I started packing at... close to 11pm? >< Which means that everything absolutely needs to be packed by tonight because tmr is the eve already. Gosh. Tonight. This is.... fast... tmr is CNY eve already? Gosh even when i said thursday earlier it did not properly dawn on me that today is wednesday. Which means that TOMORROW is the dinner. God. I really wonder how my mum will cope with all the cooking tmr and all. And I still have not confirmed whether it's a half day for me tmr. I remember reading somewhere that it is but... :X. I really should just ask somebody. But this socially awkward person has still yet to make a single friend at work, save for my superiors. And its awkward to ask them isn't it? Even then we all keep to ourselves a lot and a whole day can pass by with me not talkign to anyone. Which suddenly reminds me of Ohno not speaking on TV shows. Yeah, its like that here. The office is dead quiet. Labs... I really don't know. Have only been in the lab once so far for an initial tour. Even when my sups discuss stuff they do so really softly. Like whispering. idk why.... just the whole quiet atmosphere here I guess. Hmm I wonder if he'll give me anything to do today. If not I'll just end up 'wasting' away the day writing fics and stuff. I actually have *yet another* new fic idea, but I'd like to focus on the current one first. The new idea will basically just be... a reflection of my rl experiences as a researcher. Not so much in this new company since I've not even started lab work proper, but all the stuff i experienced when I was interning at IBN. That'll form the basis of my story. Some reflection of myself and how I conducted cell culture experiments too at my previous work place. I am a little... sad that I won't be doing stuff like growing cells anymore. I'll definitely miss doing that. Considering this I'm not too sure if I will take up a phd in this field I'm in now, but hey, I've not even started yet. Plus, what I'm doing now is interesting in a different way in that, it combines biology with loads of chemistry. The chemistry which I used to really love. Either way I'll enjoy the lab work nonetheless for sure. Sure beats sitting all day long at the desk. Thinking of all these... makes me want to write that science research fic even more. I'd really love to share the like of mentality I have towards science with others. And I know that many of my friends don't actually like doing research or experiments, but rather only take up such jobs because otherwise their degree would be 'wasted'... if they even take up science related jobs at all. So I guess I'm unique in a sense.
Hmm just got an email informing me that my pay will be credited into my bank account tmr! Yay paydayyyyyyyy! *happy* So i started on the 6th and its been almost a month now. And you know what? All I've done is reading up, and more reading up. I did *some* data entry, spent last friday editing the manuscript. And that's about it. I'm getting paid to read up haha. How cool is that? Ok, I did do some other admin work, but barely anything substantial or truly helpful. Besides the massive editing of the manuscript. I hope what I edited was ok. He hasn't gotten back to me on that yet :X
Looking forward to chatting with my cousins tmr. We'll have a ton to talk about for sure. Oh gosh and my sis's friend got into dentistry in australia and she's flying off in 12 days... she just got her mac yesterday and i promised to show her the rope and recommend some programs to her... So she'll be coming over to my house sometime... idk when. I wanna treat her and my sis to some nice japanese too. Didn't do a single thing for my sis's bday this year. In fact, I didn't even get her a bday present last year... so have to make it up to her. Esp all the times she fetch me ard, wheeled me around etc...
Aye, I guess my incoherent rumbling has come to an end since I can't think of anything better to rumble about. And my sup just came in. He says my manuscript corrections were fine and to send him again if I have anymore new ideas. which i don't really. I did change a little bit of stuff here and there but nothing much, and I can't even remember what I changed anymore >< Which is bad. Alright. Guess I shall just end this here... Wonder what he thought about me posting this at work lol. He probably can guess that its some sort of blog. Got a pretty... bad seat since its just beside the door, with my back facing the door so one look and ppl can see what I'm doing, whereas idk who's walking in and out because so many ppl walk in and out all day i really can't afford to check. So my boss has taken me by surprise quite a few times already... oh wells. Its not like he can say much considering how he hasn't assigned me anything new to do, and he walks into the office at almost 10am :P whatever, he's a nice guy but i shant push my luck. When it comes to things I'm given to do, I'll put in my all in doing it.
