Yesterday was the first day that I officially wore my contacts to school. Oh boy, what a mistake. The handballers would have seen me wore those pair of bitches around during training, but my other peers somewhat have a much more different reactions to me. The first person who saw me was Chris and he looked at me, then gave me the classic “WTF” look, exclaiming that he couldn’t recognize me. Vincent was less than amused that a stranger was waving to him, until he realize that the random stranger is actually me. There were much of that and I swear, the best was when some of my friends walked right pass me, leaving me to wonder if I really look that different. It was like being blocked on MSN. When the person who blocked you is just sitting beside you.
And of course, the usual questions were, "What happened to you?" or "Are you ok?" or something related to that. No one asked if I was wearing contacts ah. So, on the spot I cooked up a story. Ok, actually, I didn't make up one story, I made up a couple of them, just to see other people reaction. Blame an overactive imagination and an uninteresting lesson (And oh, the inability to sign into MSN. Die stupid SMU network.). One of them includes me dropping my glasses in the toilet bowl and accidentally flushing it away. Another one was me trying to show Denise that I left my specs on the table then while I was using my mouse, I accidentally crushed it. Of course, it would be better explained.... If we weren't seated like 8 metres apart. The fact that I was using hand signals isnt exactly helping. The random girl beside me very likely was damn scared of the skinny guy besides her waving his arms like a mad man....while attempting to dodge the above said arms.
I was told, to my amusement, that I look much younger. Like secondary school kind of young. Oh crap, that means next time I go Yangtze or maybe even a M18 show, the counter person might want to check my IC. Generally, women would be dying to be questioned of their age (only younger though.), but holy cows dude! I am like how old already, cut me some slack!
How embarrassing would it be, if you go chiong with a girl 2 years your junior and you get checked but not her?
