I almost blinded a friend.

My friend won tickets to a K-pop party, which was basically an Astro-sponsored event masquerading as a "party" by hiring some k-pop influenced dancers and DJ.

Although it's not my scene, I thought I'd take up her offer of being her plus one out of pure curiousity.

Turns out, the tickets allowed her two friends, so I was introduced to a colleague of hers that she'd invited as well. Before we stepped into the auditorium packed with a weird mesh of people in headscarves and those with k-pop inspired 'do (this is truly 1Malaysia), we were given glo-sticks.

Fuck everything about these glo-sticks.

They were bendable ones meant to be accessories. I got the glasses as you see above, while my friend's friend (named Anne for now) was given a headband one.

I was fiddling with it, trying to bend it into shape while Anne was supervising.

Then it broke.

In two.

And the liquid splattered all over.

Into her eyes.

My first instinct was to laugh and I knew it was hers too, since I saw her lips twitched upwards into a giggle... before a most horrific scream was released from it.

In retrospect, everything that happened was quite funny. Although, there were not much "Hahaha" in between "OH GOD IT BURNS. MY EYE BURNS" while it happened.

Anyway, we rushed out to rinse her eyes. Although she spent several minutes splashing water into her eyes, it was getting redder by the second and she was having problems with keeping her lids open. All the while I was thinking "Oh shit, do I have to donate one of my corneas to her? But I love having two corneas."

I think in the height of the moment, I actually did say "If anything happens, feel free to have one of my eyeballs..."

Awkward much.

We were rushed to the doctor's by one of the event manager and after a few eyedrops, the pain and scarlet-ness subsided... in which she later spent the next 3 hours dancing to k-pop music and doing the choreography flawlessly.

Seriously? "Oh my god I know the moves to this!" not 10 minutes after "OH MY GOD THE SEARING PAIN!"?

K-pop fans never cease to amuse.
