Donning on Specs,
It seems not that long ago, but delving into our blog's archive, it's already 3 years ago that our girl complained of bad eye-sight back then and subsequently we took her for an eye-test. The check-up turned out negative (as in no glasses needed for her). We are talking 2008 here,....Time flies.....

2011 now, and her school results have since the past 10 months taken a turn for the worst. We put it partially on her stubborn character to obey, listen (what do you expect, she has become a teenage Dragon girl after all). But somehow, something was nagging us.....
We suspected that something was amiss with her eyesight, thus when the opportunity presented itself to do a free check-up at a nearby optical shop, I demanded that she undergo a test, just to make sure....
1) whether she really has bad eye-sight (unable to copy from the blackboard)......
2) or whether she has really become that lazy at school (then she'll be in for some tirade from us)
The optometrist came back with a positive result, that our daughter really has become myopic,....well, like father like daughter....
Thus I asked for a more accurate assessment of her eyes and she was then duly asked to take a seat in the examining room.
Looking at my daughter wearing specs for the first time sure feels different.
And once it was determined how 'bad' her eyes are, came the task of choosing a suitable pair of specs....which I can tell you was no mean feat.
This, no....That, no....This, childish.....That, don't like the colour.......This, too big......That, too small.....I want like Justin Bieber!!!.....(aaaaaargh)

In the end she settled for a half frame design, with which she was comfortable with.
And have to admit, that's a pretty good choice......told her that Harry Potter's round glasses wouldn't match her round face....Round and Round don't go well together :p
So there you have it, D&D (daughter and dad) wearing specs,
Her school results have incrementally improved since the day she DOESN'T forget to bring her glasses to school (God knows why she regularly 'forgets' to bring along her specs to class, has she become vain??)
But for time being, she can't complain or rather has no more excuses that she can't read from the black board anymore.
We as parents have fulfilled our duty of providing her with perfect vision,
Thank you very much indeed :)
