Obedience

Being short-sighted and astigmatic for 16 years, the combined power of my both eyes hikes up to 2000 degree, visible length only left about 5 cm, similar to a blind person when taking off the glasses. With the technology nowadays, it is not impossible to get back my normal vision again by LASIK treatment. Although it is a bit costly, I still manage to pay it on my own. After a series of eye check, I was informed that I am eligible for the treatment. I was so excited as the days that I can see things without glasses are coming soon. However, with only one word "NO" (afraid I will be blind after treatment), my hope broke into pieces. I accepted their decision silently.

A few days ago, I saw an advertisement on the promotion of air asia. Numerous cheap tickets are there to be booked. A flight to Bangkok only costs RM76.50. Besides cheap air ticket, my enthusiasm towards thailand after watching a thai movie also increased my interest in paying there a visit so eagerly. Again, I was so excited as it is going to be not merely my first trip to oversea, it will be my first air flight too. Yet, as expected, with all the discouraging words, I gave up quietly.

Mt Kinabalu, Pulau Langkawi, Kuching, Penang,
these are the places where people have their vacation during the semester break.
Where am I?
At home, doing household chores to relieve my mom's burden.

Catching up with old friends, reading interesting books, attending a language class,
these are the activities which people can't do in schooling days but only in holidays,
What do I do?
At workshop, doing all sort of works to help my dad.

I could hardly recall back the time I went against them.
I couldn't even remember the time I said "no" to them.
All I remember is to give the best to them.

I am not complaining or blaming anyone here,
just,
sometimes I feel a bit tired of being obedient.

Heh.. my first comment in your blog...

Why don't you consider wearing contact lens...? much safer as long as u take care of your hygiene.

When you feel tired of being obedient... think like this..."'my' parents has berpenat lelah brought 'me' up all these years, so be obedient is one of my pay off"

Thx for ur comments everyone..
i will still continue to be obedient one.. dun worry..
they got so much worries because they are taking care of me.. i understand one.. i love my parents forever!!

*wearing contact lens is not a healthy practice.. it could increase the pressure of the eyes and infection can easily occur if the lens are not cleaned properly.
