spectacles

people wear spectacles for vision correction, eye protection or protection from uv rays. there are 4 types of spectacles :
  • corrective - alleviate the effect of astigmatisme or nearsightedness
  • safety - protect the eye from flying debris
  • sunglasses - provide protection against bright visible
  • special - create the illusion of three dimension
spectacles can be a major part of personal expression. for some celebrities, spectacles form part of their identity. some people hate to wear spectacles. in their opinion, those who wear them look nerd. there are also some inconvenience when wearing spectacles. they can cause problems during rigorous sports. the lenses can become greasy or trap vapour when eating hot food, swimming, or walking in rain. finally, many people who wear spectacles turn to contact lenses or laser eye surgery.

Muslims throughout the world celebrate aidilfitri after fasting for a month. everyone is very excited to celebrate it. but, in the mean time is sad because the month that is full of forgiveness had left. on the eve of aidilfitri, we recite 'takbir' and pray at the mosque. it is customary to wear traditional clothes and spend the whole day visiting relatives and friends. delicacies such as 'ketupat' and 'rendang' are among the most famous cuisines that are served during this day. it is also a joyous day for children as this is the day where they were given token sums of money from parents and the elders.
i take this opportunity to wish salam aidilfitri to everyone....
