It is already the end of the month...

What I should say?
More tests and I have finally gotten over any TV entertainment/drama shows.
I have restrained myself from watching this year and it have been very successful just that my life has gotten more 'sian' without it.
More band practices..

Anyway, Chinese New Year is here!
I am really looking forward to it this year. 2 days of holidays! plus 1 half day school.
Should I go back to primary school???

Guess what? I got my contact lenses.
Some may be wondering why that sudden 'vanity' but I just want to say that my mum just wanted to claim the company's free expenses given to each employee.
That's why i also made new specs.

I was so afraid to put on the lenses. I took about 20 mins to just put in one lens.
First, lift up eyelids, press down the bottom lids, use index finger aim, touch the eyeball, look downwards, relax upper lid, blink, relax lower lids. My eyes kept blinking.
I tried it so many times of stretching my eyelids that it got teary and swollen when I finally got the contacts on. It was terrible. When it got in, I rejoiced after all that effort of putting it in.
I did it for the other eye too but it was slightly faster.
When both was in, I realized that I got all teary but it was clear! I had no feeling that the lenses were on at all.

After explaining all the instructions and checking, it was time to take out. I felt sad as all that effort of putting it in would be gone. It was also as difficult as you have to stretch eyelids and pinch out the contacts.

I thought it was all done when I finally got out the lenses. Then, the optimist asked me to practice for 1 time putting in and out again. All by myself with no assistance. I was like 'siao' my eyes all swollen le. luckily, it was faster as I got a bit used to touching my eyeballs which was gross.

The worst part of the process was that it was CNY season and so many people were walking past the optical shop. It was embarrassing as many were staring as I pried open my eyes.haiz...
the optimist asked if I wanted to wear the lenses then go home after that, I immediately said no as I wanted my eyes to relax.

This whole process took 1 HR
Now, the contact lenses are at home now. I seriously dont know when then i will have the courage to experience the putting in of the contacts again. Thinking about it, it was kind of scary.
There are also quite a lot of sight effects and stories of wearing the lenses too, I was warned.
Anyways, I wont be wearing it so frequently.

I am absolutely looking forward to CNY, hong bao and all that visitations. My father bought like 10 boxes of CNY goodies and my mum said that he was overly enthu as who is going to eat all that boxes!

I just went for the SYF rehearsal yesterday. It was so tiring and scary!

Byebye seeya!
