2009 CNY Celebration

Chinese New Year always come and go so quickly. To me, the fun part of it is actually the pre-work of preparing for CNY, from the spring cleaning, to buying of CNY goodies and to decorating the house. All these activities really then signify the coming of CNY.
This year, the 2 girls (Bella and Bevis) did enjoy themselves thoroughly, exhausted at end of day from all the playing and 'eating'. Here're some photos to share:

A Journey Into A World Without Spectacles

After about 20 years of being be-spectacled, I finally picked up my courage to do LASIK! With the technology these days, having perfect eyesight is a mean feat! It all started with a posting in the papers on a forum for LASIK surgery. Decided to attend the forum and one week after that, I plucked up enough courage to sign myself up for the pre-evaluation check. The pre-evaluation checkup was a series of checks for the eyes with lotsa waiting time in between! All in all, I spent a total of 3+ hours at the clinic. The final result??? My eyes (and cornea) are healthy and I’m suited for LASIK surgery. However, a twist to the whole thing is, with estigmatism as high as what I have (400+), I’ve no choice but to go for the premium option (Wavefront Intralase).

On the day of the surgery (29-Sep-2008), I spent a total of 3+ hours at the clinic too. The surgery took 15mins while the rest were waiting time! I finally went home with an ‘almost’ perfect eyesight.

This is me, with eyes covered in plastic casing, moments after I reach home from surgery.
