back from shanghai! 6 days 5 nights pass like the bullet train. the moment i stepped into the sing ground, i felt warm! haha.. it was a stark of difference when we first landed in shanghai. back then, the temperature was 5 degrees and we were all saying very very cold and put on more thicker clothing in the airport toilet. once out of the shanghai customs, we got excited as we saw gases out of our breath. we even took photo of us trying to breathe out thru the mouth. then when night falls on the first day, the weather gets more terrible, we were practically shivering even though we were all heavy laden with our thick clothing. they were of no use. I even commented loudly that how could man live in such cold chilly freezing condition. The shivering came right within your body de lo.

Tons of pics to share.. however, they were all with linda and ssm. With the pictures, it will be easier to share the days activities. overall, the trip was filled with fun, laughter, bad food, great company, friendly tourmates except for 1 family whom I will elaborate later, cold weather on 1st day, cool weather on 2nd days onwards, breathtaking scenery and mahjong almost everynight. =)

then came the terrifying part, which I titled this post after. i was intending to take a bath after i came home yesterday. i started to wash my hair, only to realize that i did not take out my contact lenses. so i turned the water off and went to remove the lenses, however, i realized that i poke my right eye, meaning to say that the contact lens is not there in my right eye. I covered my left eye with my hand and tried to look around, everything appeared blur. i got panicky, coz that could mean that my contact lens has shifted in my right eye. then i tried to look around the basin and the floor to see if the lens could have dropped from my eye. there wasnt. and i could feel that the lens is somewhere in my right eye, somewhere under the eyelid, coz when i closed my eyes, i can feel somthing poking there. i quickly alerted my parents and my dad suggested that i should go ttsh. i initially wanted to just go see doc, but dad says better to take xray (can xray be taken on your eye?).

many wild thoughts ran thru my mind on the way there and in the emergency section of ttsh. i was so worried tht i may need an operation. i rmb vividly someone told me before of such a case too, that this person slept with his/her contact lens on and in the morning, realized that the contact lens have shifted the position and in the end, required operation to remove the lens. Then some thots of losing my eye lar and blah ran thru. not to mention the air con in the emergency room was damn cold. i already put on a sweater but because i was wearing fbt shorts, i was shaking, perhaps with a mixture of fear and cold. terrible ordeal. waited for my turn which seemed like eternity. finally this very nice doc attended to me and she removed the contact lens off my right eye. it was already crumpled when she removed that thing and it really was beneath my eyelid.

sighs. was badly shaken and traumatized by it. i was thinking how could things have gone so wrong suddenly. i was well and good whole day and then suddenly, things seemed to go so wrong. i really thought i needed an operation lo and i really was very afraid that i will lose my eye.

so to those who wear contact lens, pls be very careful. sometimes we will get complacent, esp since when we wear them for so long already.

a little bit of narcissism won't hurt, and vanity isn't a sin.
