At the shop, he tried out several pairs of frames. I picked out a pair for him which I thought framed his face perfectly and the bronze hue made him look so intellectual and demure. Look at how enthusiastic he was.
Unbeknownst to many, Andre is actually very vain. To him, his glasses are a fashion statement. Apparently, the bronze glasses said, "I'm boooring." Then he caught sight of a bright blue pair that was so shiny it could blind you. Now, THIS one shouted, "I'm cool!" (It's bluer and shinier in real life than in the picture).
No amount of cajoling would move him. Even when I told him he looked like a motor-cycle riding pai kia (on hindsight, that probably served as a further impetus). After collecting his glasses, in the car all the way home, he was musing to himself:"Do you think my friends will know I changed my specs?"
"I think they will since my old one is round, this one is square."
"Maybe I'll ask them if they noticed anything different."
Oh vanity, thy name is Andre!
Actually, the pair he chose is very nice what, fits him :) He looks like a Taiwanese soap opera star LOL!
ReplyDeleteMaybe he thinks if he wears blue glasses, he'll be teacher's blue-eyed boy. Let me know if it works :P
Haha, ya think? Somehow I doubt it!!
ReplyDeleteLOL you can tell which pair of glasses he favours just by looking at his expression. So cute!
ReplyDeleteJust found out that Sean is colour blind. This was cos I brought him for medical for school in Viet. Sigh... it's hereditary as my dad is colour blind.
Eunice: oh no, is it only partial with Sean or all colours? L-A had a classmate in p1 who was so colour blind his mother had to label all his coloured pencils.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are so telling! Well, he certain is a darn sight happier with what he chose, so all the more it seems brighter!
ReplyDeleteHe really cute, your Andre! Love to see how he'll turn out in a few years (I don't mean being a motorbike riding paikia!)
Err...Looking at the pic, I have to agree with your son's choice! LOL! :P
