The Lost Codger

No this is not an entry on Damon Albarn’s former band nor his current one; Gorillaz (although both are equally awesome). Anyway, recently I noticed some blurriness in my left eye. I know what you’re going to say: “You’re getting old”. That is so passe. Ok so it MAY be age-related, but in the past I’ve always blamed it on me sleeping with half my face buried (and heavily squashed) in my pillow. I would get up in the morning with my left eye completely out of focus. It would eventually get better as I shower and have my breakfast. But the last few days, I never really got it to focus properly again.

Despite an illustration of yours truly donning a pair of Miu Miu glasses in the previous entry, I don’t actually wear glasses, at least not now. I used to wear a pair when I was studying for SPM yonks ago and throughout university years. Although I wasn’t aware of it at the time, the frame wasn’t really a very flattering one (cue a snapshot of Tun Mahathir’s glasses back in the 80s). I stopped wearing them after my first year of employment. For some odd reason, my eyesight became much better (after staying off those thick degree books).

The problem now is, you see, I’m left-eye dominant. I aim with my left eye and that means looking through the camera viewfinder with my bad eye. Thanks to modern technology, I don’t really have to worry about my subjects being out of focus since it’s automatically done for me.

It’s still a bit depressing nonetheless…

Did I tell you my birthday is in a few days?
