Contact Lenses

Contact lenses have been at hit for college/university students of late. People generally wear contact lenses for about the same reasons... want to look younger/cooler/mature/self-confident.... etc...

Sheng Hung asked his Mom several times before, about why she wants to use contact lenses, even when she's at home. She answered him, that she's old (as in mature) enough, and besides it's not really a hassle (plus, it made her look better... Sheng Hung think she thinks so, and he agrees too!!)

Since even a few of his friends in secondary school have started wearing it, Sheng Hung thought he should have a try at it too! While walking in Sunway Pyramid one day, Sheng Hung decided to ask one of the shops a few questions about contact lenses.

"Hey, is it really troublesome ah?"

"Is it really easy to wear or not?"

Questions like that la.

The lady in the first shop told him to give it a try, by offering a pair of contact lenses for trying out. First of all, she washed her hands, and asked him to do so too. (For hygiene reasons...)

Okay, that's done.

Next, she opened up one of the sealed containers with one contact lens... (btw, his eyes are 450 at one side, 525 at another...)

"Pull your upper lid with this finger (show)... and then hold your lower lid with this one (show)..."

SH tried to do just as demonstrated. It was tough but after several tries he kinda managed to get it right... but as in like almost ten minutes later la...

"Now, put your lens just straight into your eyes..."

Okay, this is the part. SH knew it before that this is going to be hard, in trying to keep his eyes open. No matter how hard, he can't keep it open, just as his finger was about to stick the lens in.

"Okay, let me do the first one," the lady told him. She 'grabbed' his eyelids tight and stuck the lens into his left eye.

O.O

Okay, it's his turn now. Long story cut short. Did he manage to do it?

Nope.

Again, the lady helped him to stick his lens in for his right eye.

Wow...SH can now see clearly!!

Okay, time to take those contact lens off. She first told him the method to do it.

"Just take it out using your thumb and your finger...."

No matter how hard he tried, he just can't keep his eyes open when his fingers were about to touch his eyes.

Urgh... what a 'torture'...!!!

The lady, somehow, got the lens out in a blink of an eye. And till now SH can't seem to understand how she did it.

SH could feel a bit of disappointment. How did the others do it?

"Well, not everyone is able to wear contact lens... it happens that for some are easy, some are hard..."

"I mean, glasses are so convenient..." she continued.

Oh yea... right (sarcastically...)
