RIP - My prescription glasses

Seems like Micheal Jackson is not the only one gone; my precious transition glasses gone too. It happened when I went to this river tubing at the Comal River with other bunch of NI interns to celebrate someone's birthday. Losing my glasses was one of the many mishaps that befalled me.

First, as I got into the tube, my favourite Hawaiian pants got torn at the butt area. It was so huge, my new blue coloured Renoma sports underwear was truely obvious.

Secondly, while I was trying to help my friend who fell into the water, I dislocated my arm, again. This time it didn't reduce (went back into the socket) itself immediately after dislocation, it got stuck and I had to excrutiatingly align my arm for quite sometime before it got reduced.

Then halfway through the river, I went through this short drop in the river which caused me to flip over and hit my head on the stone in the river and therefore losing my glasses. I tried to search for it but the current was too strong. My other housemates, Hon Mun and Hann Huei also lost their glasses in that cursed river.

Next, the river water went into my ziploc bag which contains my passport. My heart sank when I saw there was water in the BAG! And so when I took it out, it was really wet, some of the stamps couldn't be seen...

Yesterday was the worst day I ever had since coming to Austin. At least I'm still all right except for the lump on my head and the pain in my shoulder AND the loss of my perfect eye vision. Hon Mun has to resort to using his prescription sunglasses to see while Hann had to use his presciption swimming googles to see. Hahahaha.
