Haha I was just talking to the K1s about myopia, citing glasses as its hallmark. And about how people don't much take care of their eyes by spending too much time on the computer, watching tv, etc.
Then they pointed out accusingly that myself and this other teacher who had just come in, we wore glasses.
Grown-ups guilty as charged XD
PS: On the road to getting better! =) Was so tired out yesterday I slept right through *sheepish* My mum may accompany me to SGH for a checkup next week if there's time.
PPS: You girls use the strikethrough! I have found kindred spirits!
