4 eyed Pete

So yeah.. Peter's getting glasses.. so happy! I always knew that my right eye was noticeably weaker/less focused so it wasn't really a surprise, especially how much time I spend in front of a computer screen, eyes focused intently on the small, fast-moving objects during a game of LoL..

But I always thought it was fine, that glasses wouldn't really make a difference because meh, my good left eye could carry the weight of the poor right eye.. but then... she gave me some type of device which would simulate what it would be like with glasses.. and man.. holy shit, I look at the screen and the pixels are so clear.

Hard to elucidate the experience... Closest thing would be going from watching a movie in a normal cinema (you think, meh, this is good enough for me, I'm used to it etc.) and then watching the same movie in iMax and realising what you were missing out on.. Or a more everyday experience.. watching a movie in blu ray vs watching a movie in standard DVD quality.
^_^

Pic related, my new pair of glasses.

So after that I spent a good 30 minutes choosing a pair of glasses.. until I finally settled on the above. Fits well, looks nice and yeah, slightly hipster but ah wells, I like them. Would have preferred something from Warby Parker or Oliver Peoples but this is close enough (although quite pricey at $440 or something with lenses -_-). Well.... we're only paying like $200 because health insurance covers the rest ^_^

Sigh, this post is so #firstworldproblems it hurts.. "my $440 glasses weren't the first choice I had in mind"

In other news.. I dunno, life's OK. Honestly can't be bothered blogging anymore unless I'm bored and have something exciting to post about

So... Uni v2.0

AAAARRRGGHHHH! NET DIED ON ME SO NOW I HAVE TO RETYPE WHAT I JUST WROTE FROM MEMORY! not going to enjoy this, my memory is pretty bad.

so here is what I wrote to the best of my recollection:

So yeah, been a while since i ranted about something, so here goes:

-computing for engineers, sigh. so boring, doing the same thing i did last year for stats. and the lecturer doesn't speak loud enough for the class. thinking about skipping this one.

-engineering design. seems awesome. I'll be designing and building a water/sanitation system for a cambodian village with a group. actually genuinely interested in this project. so fucking excited!

-physics. lecturer is knowledgable and funny but content is quite extensive and if you miss something the rest of the lecture just gets more and more confusing. meh.

-financial institutions.... oh man, where do i start... okay, the lecturer (an asian lady in her late 20s) genuinely scares me. but in a good way (that sounds.. weird lol, like im into that shit hahaha). No, but seriously, my best teachers were the ones that I was afraid of. Like no messing around, there's no way you're going to be lazy in their class and get a way with it.
seriously, she takes attendance in lectures and has expressed her intention to forbid students from sitting the final exam if they attend less than 80% of their tutorials. scary no?

Alright, I confess, that wasn't from memory. I just flowed once i got started.
okay, it's almost 2am, i'm going to finish writing this later today. 'nite.

Oh yeah, something to break up the text. I'm probably the left side and that's a bad thing. Probably explains my lacklustre uni marks. 

*14 hours later*
welllll.... back. pretty uneventful day. woke up, went to phys lecture, ate lunch, went to engineering design session where we had to build a model water tower from some basic materials. we failed horribly. then went home and now I'm typing this.

so yeah. what was I going to say again? Oh right, recently started watching coffee prince during the trips to and from uni. it actually works out perfectly because each episode ends just as the bus approaches the uni. so weird yeah? my journey takes on average 59 minutes from boarding the train to arriving at uni. lol.

OH YEAH, ALMOST FORGOT. My family are going to Vietnam and an undecided Asian country  at the end of the year. So depressing. Well, atleast you can look forward to my blogging the entire painful experience for your viewing pleasure. stay tuned!

Oh man this is soo cool/sad! *edited again*

I wonder how much it cost to make... 

but really, the way the lyrics are changed is actually quite clever

In other news, taking powerful meds prescribed by my dermatologist. have to avoid the sun and alcoholic beverages at all costs..
sigh, 3 weeks till uni again.
-ptr'

*edit for more cool content*
actually laughed alot at this one:
bahahahahahahaah

*edited again*

Yeah I know.. 4chan. But dang, this makes me feel so sad for him/his dad  :(  =[  D:  D= 

So now you can feel sad with me! yay! sad together!

..

But seriously, we should appreciate our lives more. ^^
