hurrah! new theme, new skin, new url.

since i've stopped being a sadistic monster for almost half a year now(after passing out from st john), i don't think sadist-bear fits me anymore. on the other hand, myopia is something that has been with me for as long as i can remember. i think i started wearing spectacles even before primary school. then there was this period of a few years, when my degree climbed by 100 every half a year, which means 200 every year. it's stopped climbing ever since, but the damage done is still noteworthy. so much so that half the time, the first thing people notice about my side profile is "how thick your lens are!"

and then of course the next question is "how deep is your degree". after they get the answer, adults will most of the time say "so deep at such a young age! oh my!" or something along those lines. i've heard that line since i dno when, and comes from ALL adults, espcially the optimetrists or the eye specialists at NUH. oh ya, and every year during the corny health checks, i don't even bother taking off my spectacles. it's like:

me: "cannot read" *specs still on*

nurse: "huh? take off your specs first"

me: "cannot read la..." *specs off*

nurse: "first letter?"

me: "cannot la"

nurse: "..."

bloody myopia has really caused me alot of problems, apart from the near-blindness without my specs. for example, my mom says chrysanthemum tea is helpful for the eyes, so last time, everyday have to drink horrible tasting chrysanthemum tea, partly because it's SO concentrated, and partly because my mom feels adding sugar defeats the whole purpose. also, have to attach some machine thing to my earlobes, which is supposed to help with the myopia. basically, it's like the machine emits bloody painful pulses to my ear lobes, and i gotta endure that for half an hour. of course, despite all these, plus things like looking far and minimal TV and computer, my degree continued to grow uncontrollably. rofl when i was in pri school, i used to wonder if ill go blind by the age of 20, but now it seems like i wont! haha...ha... -.-

i think it's something to do with my genes :( my whole family is bespectacled, my bro's degree is near mine, my sis is alot better, but we're all bespectacled, cept my sis, who wears contacts. i considered wearing contacts myself, cos hard lens are supposed to control the degree...but the optimetrist says must have good hygiene o.O so i gave it up. but maybe ill go for lasic within these few years. sian.

wa...this is really long...sighs
