I was down with conjunctivitis during the weekend, which made me miss my friend's wedding on Saturday. I sent him a message to congratulate him, as well as apologies for not being able to attend.
I could hardly open my eyes on Friday and Saturday. Now I can finally look at the computer screen without much pain in my eyes, even though they are still red. Looks like I have to wear glasses for a week at least, something which I am not used to after so long of lens wear.
My best friend officially asked me to be her bridesmaid last Saturday. I know I am going to be her bridesmaid anyway, but she officially asked me, as she just signed up for a package and is looking to see if she can rent a gown for me as well. Her wedding ceremony will be on 23 November, still a while to go, but then it takes a while to prepare for a wedding ceremony.
I went for the much-awaited Jacky Cheung concert last night. His voice is still so powerful! He outdid himself as usual, singing all the classics which I love so much, plus a mini musical excerpt from his "Snow Wolf Lake" musical, as well as some songs which he wrote specially for his wife and kids.
His songs still touch the innermost beings of my soul, and I really felt like crying after some of the songs. He sings with so much emotions! At those moments, I really missed someone greatly, and hoped so much that he was next to me instead, since this is one singer he likes too.
Since my eyes were still sore, I went to the concert with tinted glasses, and was probably the only moron there in tinted glasses, with a dark environment and glaring lights. I had to hide my eyes for fear of spreading to others. Thus, the concert was more of a listening experience as I could hardly see a thing with the glasses!
Being blind has its advantages too. Not being able to see forces one to use other senses instead. Perhaps due to this, I find the concert and songs extra touching and melancholic, since I had to use my ears to do all the work? Or could it be due to my mood because I still think of someone quite a bit?
I hope Jacky Cheung comes again. I can hardly wait for him to have another concert here!

Songs indeed bring sweet and also sad memories. Its the same for me. The music that I listen to reminds me of the different stages of my life, be it in school or my first crush.
What's important is that we treasure every little bit of the memory we have kept in a small part of our closet in the heart. It'll prove really priceless when as we move on to the next stages in life.
Anyway, hope your eyes are better now.
Take care of your eyes. How did you get pink eye any way? Aren't you too old for that?
BTW, I am reducing my Internet activities. No doubt you noticed I visit and comment less often. I am just tired. Eventually, I will return (I think).
Kram : Yup, songs with meaningful lyrics do mean a lot to me, as they make more sense than just normal music. These sentimental songs bring a lot of memories back to me too, especially the different stages of my life.
Richard : Erh, I always thought an eye infection can occur anytime, anywhere, to anyone.
And yes, my eyes have recovered, thanks so much!
