I started wearing
specs in 2004, didn’t I? When I was a 4th grader.
My parents finally
brought me to have my vision checked after long observation. Since I was in 3rd
grade, I frequently missed some notes
from the blackboard at school. I thought it was normal to not able to see what
was written on the blackboard from where I sat. When I found out that my friend
who sat at the back row could read the teachers’ writing on the board, I
thought that they might have really good vision. I wasn’t even thinking that
something was wrong with me (I was being that severely clueless).
Then, when I was in 4th
grade, I realised that something must be wrong with my vision (like, finally
XD). I told my mom that I couldn’t see something in distance, and she scolded
me for reading books in dim lighting. She told me to do this and that, how to
read books without straining my eyes, and blablabla, and she actually forbid me
to read after the sun set for some times.
It was getting worse. My
parents limit my TV and book time; I have to sit at certain distance while
watching TV, it was annoying! I couldn’t even tell who was talking, who was
fighting with who, who was the most handsome actor, etc. Gradually, I teared up
whenever I watch TV. Sitting at distance made me need to strain my eyes even
more. At last my parents decided to have my vision checked (like, another
finally!)
The test concluded
that I was nearsighted, with -1.75 diopter. Well, I needed specs to correct my
vision. At first it was kinda inconvenient to have something extra to take care
of. My parents bought me the leash in order to make sure I wouldn’t drop my
specs or randomly leave them somewhere. I totally looked like a nerd; with the
round frame and the leash; but in the other hand, I really needed them. The
spectacles have turned my world brighter ( d^o^b) shoot!
I got new pair of
specs in 2008, still with the -1.75
diopter lenses. In 2010, I tried getting myself used to wear glasses
only when I read. In the first week of my trial, I caused a scene on my way to
tuition center. Hahahhhh.. I put my specs on my upper uniform pocket. I didn’t
see a set of con blocks was coming out of its place. I stumbled, and lost my
balance. My specs fell out from my pocket. They hit right to the ground and
broke. One of the classes was detached from the frame and the other one was cracked.After
that, I decided to always have my spectacles properly wore on their place.
Till date, I am still
nearsighted with -4.25 diopter.
And this morning, I
caused another scene for myself -__-
It has been my habit
to consume broccoli, either boiled (have it as side dish) or juiced (blend it
with apple). I have it four to five time a week. I will say, it tastes okay
with apple. I usually boil the broccoli first before smoothing it with food
blender. So, last night I prepared the broccoli to be blend it this morning. I
cleaned it, soaked it in clean water, and keep it back to the fridge. When I
woke up this morning, not wearing my glasses, I took the broccoli out from the
fridge to let the temperature settle first. Oh ya, today, I was planning to
have the broccoli only as I ran out of apple stock. I took shower, got dressed
and etc, and! I left my glasses at the dressing table (I thought there was
nothing important to be observed and I knew every bit of my room). Then I took
out the blender, and started juicing the broccoli. I finished everything in
minutes and started drinking it.
YUCKK! It tasted
extremely awful. What the h*ll is this??
I thought. I tried adding sugar, and the taste was still intolerable. I was
thinking of going to buy some apple, but I ran out of time, I need to go to
work in around ten minutes. So I decided to finish it all, and bear the taste.
Every gulp was a nightmare. AARRRRGGHHHHHHH!!! And suddenly, out of nowhere, I
remembered something: I haven’t boiled the broccoli! Not last night, and not this
morning, and and . . . I have it blended raw! That’s why it tastes that way! I
totally forgot that I haven’t boil it, and . . . I didn’t have my spectacles on
to make me able to tell from the colour and the texture that THE BROCCOLI WAS
RAW !
Alamak x_x
If only, if onlyyyy I wore
my glasses, it wouldn’t happen . . .
Hmmm..how does my
world look like without my specs?
One absolute
description: IT IS ALL BLURRY.
I hardly see your
eyes, nose, lips in the distance of farther than 3 meters. I can’t even tell
who you are if I don’t hear your voice.
Incase you are curious
of what low-visioned people see, I tried to google the vision simulation, it shows
this way: * D = Diopter
If I set Calibri in 11
font size and 100% view in microsoft word, I can only have a clear view
(without any blur) at the distance of + - 27cm.
Every time I have my
vision test and the result shows that it’s getting severe, my heart skips a bit
and I yelped for a while, promising myself to take good care of my eyes; which
determination only last for half to one day >v<
