4 eyes

Don’t know the exact reason why I woke up feeling exhilarated this morning.

Maybe I got up from the right side of the bed.

Or possibly I had a good night’s rest?

Or the fact that I had a really fulfilling Japanese buffet brunch yesterday...

Or because I found a really decent shop selling clothes at affordable prices whilst at the mall yesterday?

Or perhaps waking up knowing that I have new clothes to wear to work today?

Or the fact that I actually found a long-lost friend through Facebook over the weekend after searching everywhere since forever? [Thank you, God, for creating the genius(es) who is/are the brainchild of FB, whoever he/she/they are/is)

Maybe it is a combination of all of the above + the fact that I finally grew some balls to start wearing back my contact lens again after depriving myself for 3+ months…

I feel hideous each time I put on my glasses but don’t know why the bf prefers it to me not wearing them. Or perhaps he just doesn’t want me to attract unnecessary attention.

Had an eye scare since June. My left eye was continuously red and towards the evening, the harmonious symphony was accompanied by a throbbing headache. The optometrist couldn’t find anything wrong with the eye, said that it was just an ‘external’ inflammation and not an infection and then proceeded to prescribe me antibiotic drops with steroids. For which I didn’t dare to use too much for fear of becoming blind from long-term usage of the steroids.

Although my eyesight wasn’t affected the whole time, I felt so helpless because there was nothing that I could do to make it better. Was worried that I would become blind but was comforted by my younger bro, who is studying medicine, that it is not that easy to turn blind.

Maybe I watched too much re-runs of House.
