Today S underwent the laser eye surgery to cure her myopia. S made fun of herself as a housewife who always searches for the best (read, cheapest) price on the buy. One of S’s friend happens to be a relative of an ophthalmologist who offers probably the cheapest price for the surgery around the town. S of course jumped onto the boat of the best buy in no time. The surgery takes only five mins for each eye, and myopia will never be a problem since then.
S encouraged me to follow her steps. Yet I, simply speaking, flinched from the possible pain (despite its being a very short-term one) and the imagined horror to stare with eyes wide open at the laser light cutting into my eyes. Urghh……
Call me a coward. I live quite comfortably with my pair of glasses up to now and, I believe, will feel the same in the days to come. No need to put myself through the torture. Definitely no need at all.

Lag Behind
After a few days of work, everything comes to a stand still. A rare moment indeed.
Yet I am again behind the schedule of submitting the final evaluations of a few courses. Got to catch up with the schedule for a few chores. Have to submit a bio-note and an abstract, respectively, for papers to be published; to email back one professor regarding his invitation for a written paper from me; and to read through two MA theses for coming oral examinations.
Well, life sometimes looks just like this: always busy in short of a moment of peace at which my own thinking and writing can commence.

Euro 2004
Tonight we the whole family are watching the semi-final match of Euro 2004. Yes, I mean the whole family, including N. I know this sounds a bit abnormal and even unhealthy for such a small kid to stay up so late at night. Yet N insists to be woken up to enjoy the game with us. After a few failed attempts to wake N up, I and S thought that it would still be better for him to keep sleeping. Yet around the middle of the first half N suddenly woke up by himself and joined us.
Unfortunately, the match is much to our disappointment as our favorite Czech Republic loses the game to Greece by 0:1. Yet we still had a good time to watch the game as a family, making fun to each other, to the game play, to the referee, and to the players' performance.
Always wonderful it is to have a familial gathering like this.
