Blind Bats X 2 + Mega Heartache

I have perfect eyesight. When I was a kid, I do wish that I could wear glasses bcos that was like so cool and fun. As I grow older, I realised how common myopic has become and how troublesome glasses are. Shortsighted people around me are either using contact lenses or have gone for Lasik in hope to regain their perfect sight. I now pride myself for my perfect eyesight.

It is not that I did anything in particular to protect my eyes; I lie down to read and watch TV, I watch TV in the dark too. I accrue the good eyesight to good genes. Nobody in my family is shortsighted.

I was hoping that the kids would inherit my good genes but my genes proven to be not strong enough. Both kids were tested in school and came back with 9/6 vision. I know it is a matter of time but I am in denial.

Lil Shauna had been complaining that she cannot see properly. I had been ignoring her and hoping that the problem would go away by itself. Of course it doesn't. I know that glasses are inevitable but wanted to delay them for as long as possible. Once she gets them, there is no returns.

D day is finally here. Daddy Lim thinks that the issue can no longer be avoided; I would continue to pretend things are ok if he hasn't stepped in. He brought his little girl for her very 1st pair of glasses. Sob. I am so sad.

We now officially have 2 blind bats at home. Lil Shauna, like any other kids, is pleased to have glasses. She said she looks like a teacher. She has of course hasn't experienced how inconvenience can glasses made life be. For now, we agree that she will only wear glasses when she needed to study.
