And finally my contact lenses are ready. Incredible.
After 2yrs of use, I retired my old pair, and in April, went over to one hip optical shops in The Adelphi (recommended by colleague). They overcharged and, may I add, superbly underdelivered. After 5mths of waiting for my lenses to fly over from dunno-where, ding-dong calls and even personal trips to the shop, I decided to call it quits and asked for a refund (which amounts to a gasp-ly $450). And they promptly made me absorb the credit card transaction fees of 3% on top of consultation fees of $35. Wonderful. I nearly wanted to write in to CASE. If you happen to consider going to any optical shops in The Adelphi, the least you can do is to drop me an sms and make sure it's not the same shop.
Going back to my original, more old-school/lok kok optician at Tiong Bahru, things were settled in just 3 wks - longer than would be for 'normal ppl' b'coz of my super myopic-ness - but still highly professional and efficient. Well, no one to blame except myself for being tempted to try some place new and 'cool'. =P
Anyways, this is just mindless rambling. Am glad I can go kayaking again without worrying about specs falling into the sea, and gyming again without steaming up the glasses.
Have a good weekend (just 1 day away)!
