I woke up today feeling the same lethargy which has bugged me and I kinda blamed it on the lack of good, proper sleep.

I put on my glasses and found my vision impaired, especially on my left eye.

I closed my left eye and found my right eye slightly blurred, but still coping with pretty alright vision, but when I do the reverse, my left eye was obviously screwed.

I rubbed my left eye, squinted a little and my vision got better for a split second, before the warped vision returned.

Dang. Must be yet another infection, since my left eye pretty much got swollen and painful onboard of the cruise on the 3rd day of my holiday.

Feeling darn grouchy, spurred on by the cumbersomeness of squinting my eyes ever so often as I pored the news today, I closed my eyes to rest them most of the time, and wondered if I could even make it for my final pole lesson today, which was a mini-showcase of what we had learnt.

I rubbed and rubbed and rubbed my left eye particularly, and sometimes when my right eye’s vision got blurred, I rubbed it too.

I even took my glasses off cos they were starting to give me a headache.

Strangely, when I popped in my contacts, the pain I was anticipating didn’t exist.

And the tweets and phonecalls when I lamented about how my vision is fucked, and makes me hardly had any mood to stay online and do the things I was supposed to do.

I even tweeted this: “Something’s not doing right to my left eye. Its vision with glasses, is as bad as without. Without glasses it is -6.5, so now, it is -13?!“

Basically, I felt my vision was quite bad, and it was as if my degree on my left eye had doubled.

I ended up closing one eye perpetually, and joked maybe it was a sign for me to learn to close one eye.

And amazingly, when I popped in my contacts, my vision was alright though my eyes were a little dry.

So off I went for my class which I had intended to skip due to my vision, hoping the blurred vision doesn’t return.

Pretty alright, and I officially graduated from pole dance class! Yay!

Our little impromptu showcase shows that we still have the telepathy-ness from years ago, and it was plenty of good laugh and excitement when we finished the entire song without prior choreography. Love that chick

We left the place for dinner, though we were appalled when we asked our dance mates to join us, and all of them declined with the reason, “no food after 8pm!!!!“

I feel guilty already. Especially I couldn’t resist ordering McDee’s after watching season 4 of How I Met Your Mother, and it was something about…. wait for it…. BURGER.

Prosperity burger and twister fries at 2am. Tell me, seriously, what’s wrong with the equation here?

Anyway, Jiali and I then headed to Balestier for Boon Tong Kee, while exchanging our travel stories (we missed our previous class because of our trips), and me also brought up about the issue about my eyes since I had texted her earlier.

Got back, showered, and a friend asked if my eyes were getting better since I told her earlier that my ailments don’t seem to stop.

So I went to shower, and saw a pair of glasses (since I was still wearing lenses) which don’t belong to me at the sink. After I washed my hair, I went on a hunt for my glasses, which were found underneath my bed.

I wore it and MY PERFECT VISION RETURNED.

My contact lens are so miraculous!

As I walked back into my room, I stopped in my tracks along the corridor… and something struck me.

I turned round and took the pair of glasses I saw…..

………… and I put in on. And my impaired vision returned.

Then the revelation hit me with a big “ORHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

NAHBEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OMG!

I was wearing someone else’s glasses all day and that’s why my vision was impaired since the degree was -3.00 on the left, and my left vision is -6.75.

ROOOOAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

GOT MORE STUPID THAN ME OR NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

Seriously, I awe myself, and I think I put the “awe” in the “awesome”.

It was damn anti-climatic lah.

And so I am now typing this post with my perfect vision restored by my trusty pair of glasses, and giggling at how silly I truly am.

I was thinking of heading to the doc’s, and I am just glad that I hadn’t realised it only after spending that much at the clinic.

Words cannot express how happy I am to have my perfect vision back. Hohoho.

So Valuable Life’s Lesson #3 – When everything seems unclear, don’t close one eye, check you vision, or maybe it is time to change your glasses.
