Was Blind, But Now I See ...

So ... ditched out of my old friend's wedding in the VERY last minute. I still get teared up when I think about this.

What happened?

My right got an abrasion. A huge scratch on my cornea. *Sigh*

I didn't feel too well already on Christmas day. But I thought it was because I was sleep-deprived so I decided not to worry about it too much. The next day, boxing day, when I had to help my mom at her shop, I started to have a hard time opening up my eye. Well, the same situation happened before when I didn't catch enough sleep, so I ignored it also and went ahead and work. Exhaustion and bright light made my eye hurt even more. In the middle of the day, tears kept coming out of my right eye, and the eye became crimson and swollen. I couldn't bear opening it anymore. My mom saw the problem and told me to go inside and take a rest. I put ice-cold bottled water and teabag on my eye respectively hopefully to soothe the pain, but it didn't work. I finally surrendered and called the groom that I would not be able to make it to his wedding rehearsal, and told dad to take me home.

Never have I experienced such pain in my eye. I went to bed immediately after I took a shower so I might have a chance to open my eye again after some rest. Unfortunately, my wish didn't come true. The next morning I had to tell the worship leader (I was supposed to play drums for worship that day before the wedding) and the groom that I had to ditch out. NOOOOOO!!!!! I cried terribly hard when I prayed to God.

My dad brought me to the doctor. Found out what happened, got some antibiotic eyedrop, ate something, then went home. Counting boxing day, and this day I'm talking about right now, and some hours the next day, I had been "blind" for two full days. I had to keep my eyes shut to prevent friction, so whenever I had to go somewhere within my house, I had to use my hands and feet as my aides. Most of the time I slept or "listened to the TV". I haven't slept that much for ages.

If it took this disaster to make me rest, then I guess I should really adjust my schedule after new years. I'm such a workaholic. Anyhow, the fourth day after the disaster, which is today, I can finally sit at the computer and type again. Thanks to those who prayed for me and sent wishes to me. :-)

For those who have been dying to see my photos at Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant, they are up on facebook right now. Sorry I still don't have the ones with my cheongsam outfit yet. But at least you get the pretty hair and make-up ... and DJ Remus. :-D

Like A Dream ...

橫豎都冇得「訓」，不如update下個blog啦。

昨晚簡直好似發了場夢﹝I have to say last night because it's almost 5am﹞─我居然穿著旗袍在溫哥華華裔小姐選舉打marimba！多謝某兩位在Fairchild TV工作的姊妹介紹。有一點夢想成真的感覺，因為不怕講你知我有時會dream about myself becoming Miss Something (i.e. HK, Chinese Calgary, Chinese Vancouver ...)，但當然我一直只在發夢，沒有想過真是膽粗粗去參選。今次有機會踏上選美舞台去見識，of course I was thrilled，even though I only performed in a small part！還有專人幫你化靚妝，set頭，那些化妝效果盼且我一生人都做不到。Set頭更加不用說，我怎去自己紥一個那麼雍容華貴的髫出來？Anyhow，裝扮完我都特別照鏡多幾次！:-)

一直以來我都希望穿著旗袍，但我身型不夠好，所以一直都沒有機會。但今次因為負責旗袍環節，所以我終於有機會了。還好效果不差，哈哈！曾經有一位傳道人講過，"God is a BIG God who can do BIG things. He fulfills your desires in wonderful ways."用在這個contest似乎不太spiritual，但神真是很funny，讓我高興一番。LOL ...

還有一些意想不到的事。大會安排我跟音樂總監沈安麟先生合作；我見過他好幾次，但今次是第一次personally認識他。上電視做大show一定有得見明星啦！廖碧兒、蔡一傑、林嘉華、河國榮，我還跟蔡一傑影合照呢！很抱歉，我是用別人的相機來拍照，所以現在無得看。

哈哈！總之今次is a fun experience啦！

P.S. This morning, after I typed about three lines, I fell asleep. So I only got to finish it now ... late at night! :-P
