When I was quite young, I used to think and believe that wearing glasses made you look intelligent, beautiful and cool! Esp Intelligent and kind-of-mysterious. I remember desperately wanting to wear glasses and I had to tell my mum(not my dad) that I “think” I had eye problems. I told her because she would quickly want to fix the problem as she understood what eye problem(s) meant. The next day I was seated at Majesty Hospital in front of an eye doctor. I was asked to read stuffs from far…and I read them clearly so perfectly. Stupid me. I did not know I had to act as if the writings were blurred and then squint my eye to look. The man said, “Incredible eyes! Young girl you have the best eyes I’ve ever come across”. I wanted to shoot him. Why can’t he cooperate with me. Well I only got drugs and an eye-drop. No glasses.lol. I was heartbroken. I so wanted glasses. One day, I bought a fake one along plaza. I felt super-cool!
