Well... first time in a long while I've had the time i've been able to blog twice in 3 days.... The weekend has been pretty slack, although its not supposed to be.... You could call it "enforced inactivity due to a disintegration of a certain integral part of me". And NO, I am not love-sick, NO i'm not heartbroken.

I'm referring to my spectacles. My beautiful small lensed specs that served me faithfully since... erm.... pri 6? sec. 1? Can't remember... But it was a long time. The most interesting thing was that I wasn't even straining the frame or anything when they broke. The shaft that leads to the ear-piece just snapped suddenly for no rhyme or reason.

So I spent saturday with slightly blurred vision with a pair of spectacles held together by masking tape, and a few other varieties of sticky tapes.... Then in the evening, tired of not doing anything, decided to go the field next to kembangan MRT with my brother n kick our football around. Pretty okay actually... Practised lateral dives, one-on-one... and I sweated my frame off again. Wet masking tape doesn't stick. Duh. And at the end of the day still didn't know how to do a proper high goal kick... Looks like I'll be letting my defenders do the goal kicking in the near future.

In the evening I was studying respiration and talking to OSSIS people online, specs held together by a new roll of masking tape. My brother nearly killed himself on my epee which I'd accidentally left on the day-bed. He took a running leap at the bed, noticed the sword lying on it in mid-air, and promptly nearly put his head through the air-conditioning unit as a result of evaisive action. Oooops.

Sunday church was quite horrendous.... I mean, my specs were making me dizzy... didn't angle the thing properly, not the service. Is it better to be dizzy or blind anyway. I decided to take my specs off and sing the songs through memory.Sighzzz....

So after church my father brought me to parkway to look for specs... Found a lens for children which was the only one that could fit my lenses. It was either fit my head or fit my lenses. Too bad. So for one hour while the specs were being re-fitted I was walking around squinting at everything and everyone. As my sister said, the perfect circumstances to get beaten up for staring. Met Jonathan Chan (the other st. john one) in MPH. I didn't recognize him cos I couldn't see. And he didn't recognize me because of I-don't-know-what. But anyway decided the posture looked like his, the height looked like his, so i called his HP n that person picked up. So we swapped greetings before pushing off again.

Went to eat noodles at the food court. My sister had to navigate me through the crowd and buy the food..... Man, without my specs I'm totally blind. Then peered at my noodles for 30 min while finishing them.

Went to collect the new specs. Now my vision's very weird. Because of the small size theres a sphere of clarity in the center of my vision and a periphery of blurness at the edge. Most disconcerting. Bah.

Yupz.... so ended the specs saga. Or maybe not. Today still need to go n make a new pair, from the professional optician. 3pm... N still got PI to do... Guess I'll push off now.... byeee
