Of Protein and Plastics

Today I wore contacts......
HAHAHAHA.

The staff at the optical store was having difficulties explaining to me.
He spent about 15 minutes trying to tell me how to differentiate the different concavity of the lens. I was, of course, damn blur.

Then, he showed me how to put the contacts on. And it was

SO DAMN DIFFICULT!!

At first, he helped me put on. And when the thing just approaches my eye, normal reflex was: blink. So, as a normal human, I blinked. And he kept saying, don't blink. And I mean, how can I control to blink or not to blink?

Finally, he just inserted one of the contact lenses into my right eye.

And it stung.

And my eyes began to water.

Then, I spent about 1 hour in the store just to put the contacts on, and only for another one eye. The contact lenses stuck anywhere else, the floor, my finger, the contact lens case, the mirror, but my eye.

And it was dumbly frustrating.

And I finished half a box of tissue papers. Ask me why? To wipe my tears. Honestly, I never shed so many tears in one go in my entire life.


The solution and lens case.

Shin Peih (she accompanied me!!) was just casually talking to the staff, because I think he was starting to get impatient.

Finally, I got it on!! Yipee!!
The staff was VERY relieved.

Then, I took it off. And it was fast, because I just wanted that dumb thing to get off my eyeballs as fast as possible.

It feels weird because it was just like, you are poking your own eye.
Eh, my eye very precious one leh~~


HAHA.

PS: Thanks to Shin Peih for being EXTREMELY patient, and also for entertaining the guy.
