= LifE Of a GaL =

yo! today i had a total change of look! okie. not much change, i got my contact lens and rebonded my hair... i thought i would look different that nobody will recognise me!!! but i went to bugis with my new look after doing my hair, and i saw a classmate (the guy that mitch likes. how come i keep running into him!!!) and he recognised me. so. haha, not much change after all.

i ordered new specs, totally plastic framez, pinkish transparent frame. cos' my astig degree went up by quite a lot. might as well get specs too. after all can't rely on contacts only. i guess tt one i wear le i would look more different.

women really spend a lot on beautifying themselves isn't it? i bought a lipstick (pink!) today, eh, for work lah, cos i think my red one like abit too red, so weird to wear that to work everyday starting next week. i bought mascara, in celebration of new contact lens, finally can see the lashes! (no longer hidden by spectacles.) so you can guess how much i spent today on lens, specs, lipstick, mascara, hair. nearly my one month's pocket money liao i guess.

my fears and dislikes about contacts before:
- it's damn scary to put it in and take it out. you have to touch the eyeball or something?!?!
- my eyes can't stop blinking and closing even when i put eye drops, how in the hell to put LENS in?
- my roomie say she can't study with contacts on, too uncomfortable. arh, if liddat i buy contacts bu shi waste money!
- it's so mah fan! and cannot fall asleep with it on. extra prep time before school and sleep.

why i suddenly decide to get contacts after so many years of rejecting the idea?
- nothing significant, cos' suddenly during exams i felt i look more chio without specs.
- stupid reason, my strongest reason, cos i like the feeling of no specs balancing on my nose (it's heavy leh) and i like to feel the breeze of the aircon on my upper cheek.

my good thoughts about contacts after putting them on for half a day:
- i finally can feel the breeze!~ damn shuang to have nothing in front of your eyes after 10 years of specs, yet can see clearly!
- actually i dun feel the lens also, only a bit at times, not VERy uncomfortable lah, just a bit blurry today, maybe cos' of the new degree like every other new specs. especially in air con places, i dun feel the lens at all!! like i got perfect vision!! (haa, i am aircon freak, so that's great!)
- feel like opening your eyes bigger, quite nice feeling, tend to not open your eyes so big with specs, dunno why, maybe cos i am restricted by the frame (it's longish rectangular, this shape suits me best)
- feel more confident? dunno yet. a bit maybe.

my bad thoughts:
- takes some time as a 'new challenger' to put in and remove the lens, but i guess will get used to it somehow...
- troublesome still, need to wash the lens, wash the casing... but haa. guess i will get used to it.

anyway, i bought the contacts for one month only, testing period, if i like i will order permanent, cos' my monthly contacts is very ex with the astig. haa.

my next beautifying aim: do a facial... forehead too many white heads...
