Poor Masaki after laser surgery
Masaki's follow up eye check up this morning. Dr. said his right eye was getting worse so laser surgery became necessary. His left eye was not so bad though Dr. said it would be better to do it together. They immediately started preparing for surgery, gave anesthesia to him. Dr. gave him about 220 laser shots each. Sedation drug was used to make his eyes stay though it caused him stop breathing, too, which was a bit worrying though I'm sure NICU will take take good care of him until this gets out of his system. They boosted up oxygen up to 25%, and he was going to skip breast milk for 6 hours for monitoring. Meanwhile, Naoya's respiration seemed more stable than yesterday, finished bottles a few times. He kept pulling on sensors causing errors on monitoring machine quite often...

Bus rider back home

Overheard a conversation between two senior ladies on the bus way back to home from work. One lady said she was worried about her daughter not getting married. "I was worried about her going out when she was young, and was careful not to let her go on date with some boys, but now I regret what I did. If she had more chances of meeting, she would've been married by now." The other lady was telling her that she was embarrassed by her daughter married to a man not from the good family. "Children of my brothers and cousins all married to the people from the good family. My daughter is the only one not married to such a good family. Even my husband's end relatives also married to decent family. I'm so embarrassed." The grass is greener on the other side of the fence. One is not happy about her daughter being single. One is not happy that her daughter doesn't belong to decent family that she can claim to her relatives. Probably both of them were trying to ...

Jingisukan (Genghis Kahn)

Wandering around the bright neon of Susukino, Sapporo City, we found the place we've been longing to go to. Dharma is the place for mutton barbecue. The serious barbecue. You wait outside, standing in the cold, anticipating. As soon people leave, you enter the place. U shaped counter inside of the restaurant, really small with about 12 seats under dim light. 5 grandmas working in the middle of the counter, very efficient. There is the helmet-looking pan with sliced onions already on it, waiting right in front of you, heating. The moment you take your seat, grandmas serve you the meat and the sauce. Yes, the meat: mutton and lamb slices. Sear the meat, rare, dip in the sauce, and eat. Jolt. It's so good you never tasted such tasty mutton. No smell of mutton at all. Juiciness of meat blasts in your mouth. You become a machine of cooking and eating. Makes you think as if you could eat the entire sheep. Ask for another plate of meat to the grandmas. Smoke irritates your eyes, but...
