4~5 days before school starts and I'm still feeling lazy, so I requested Bobo to postpone the badminton meet-up. z_z Sorry Bobo, but this time I'm honest! XD

Mee brought me to Tiong Bahru Plaza yesterday to get me new specs! NEW specs, as in the whole works, lenses+frame! Woohoo~* We went there cus' we know the boss (my cousin's uncle), hehe and we figured we could get a discount. *smirks does a Gandhi stance and chants: Cheap and Good* I went for the eye check first, and I turned to tell my Mee shit cus' I'm so gonna screw up this eye test, thanks to endless hours spent in front of my Toshi without glasses on, sheesh. They didn't have my previous records, so she scanned my old specs and she agar agar knows my degree, so cool sia! Then I wore this pair of quirky specs thingy and flashed me some slides of random alphabets in this pretty dark room, it was a very interactive experience and communication is key here since you gotta constantly comment on the clarity and stuff when she changes lenses for you. There was several times when she flashed these rows of REALLY small numbers, and I'd tikam the first 2 and then go "3 5 dunno dunno..."

There's one thing I don't know if I'm happy/pissed, she asked me which JC/Poly I was studying in -_-" Then I said I'm in NTU first year, and she went "Huh!?! You're Uni student ah!?!" And she proceeded to drop the lenses she got a couple of times. Double -_-"

And everytime she switched to a clearer lens, I'd go "Woah! Very clear leh!", then the lady says "Yeah, see your response can tell you very long didn't wear specs, so suddenly very clear you keep wow-ing." -_- She's a pro I tell you. Then throughout the check I kept blabbering rubbish and she had to respond to me and chat with my Mee who kept asking her questions also. Lol.

Then she (I shall call her nice, funny lady a.k.a. NFL) flashed this slide which was split into 2 colored parts, the left was red and the right was green, then she asked me which color appears brighter to me. I really don't know leh honestly, they look equally bright so how? So i anyhow tikam and said green, when I said that she changed my lens, so I said red in the following color checks. =D *poof* I'm off with my eye check results! Errr but I still don't know my degree in both eyes. -_-" All I knew was our San Guang, I think it's astigmatism (right?hmmm) is a little more severe than most Singaporeans, then my cousin's uncle flipped through our family's records ( yeah all of us go there to butcher up some discounts =D, cheapo genes runs in the family it seems =] ), and said how unique we were (UNIQUE meh? Should replace that with suay), it sounded like the whole lot of us can be bundled up to some John Hopkins Research Centre and do a case study on us.

Weeee~* And this is the part I loved best (the most stress-free part)! Choosing frames! NFL asked me what kinda frames I wanted and I shot to the plastic ones, then she asked me "You really want the plastic ones? Cus' your nose bridge very small later very easy slide off" but I was determined to get plastics! Actually wanted to get black frames, but I dunno why my mouth-brain coordination prolly got screwed up and I went "I want red instead." -_-" Haha never mind, I told NFL it'd go well with my Liverpool jersey, then she chuckled and said "HUH!?! You like football one ah!?!" and she went on "You really surprise me a lot today" Haha so is this good or what? Hmmm. Finally I settled for this red one, as in the Anfield kinda red, there's 2 that I really fancied lar, but I anyhow see then settled for this one. Haha not bad, pretty funky I like~ Then she wrote down my eye check results on this chart thingy, and I was a lil pissed that my lenses cost only $50! Never mind, my taste is cheap and/but good! =D Wah and my lenses is $120, lol okay lar, that's like peanuts compared to my sis's $300++, but my sis's is really wu hua lor, air-flown in leh!

Yayness~ Walked outta the shop with the specs receipt in my pocket! Then Mee said she felt a lil dizzy, so we went off to look for a dessert shop and ordered Sesame with Almond paste ( ji ma hahn yahn wu in cantonese), very yummy but $2 for a small bowl is #@^#* Then I asked Mee wanna go home and rest, but she said she's okay then say "Cannot, must look see look see then go back." Haha she's a superwoman, she's my Mum. We went to check out OG (cus' got air-con), and we walked out with shoes for herself, my Sis a.k.a Nut (sleepin' at home ~_~) and myself. Nut's and my shoes were the same pattern, different color, at first I thought wah $26.90 then when we paid at the cashier, we realized there was a discount, so it's only $21.90! Haha yayness~ It's nice and comfy, made in Taiwan so it's gotta be good right? Lol. Off we went to da bao some dim sum: Veggie dumplings, fried dumplings, spring rolls, all of which are very, very hou mei! Got a bot of mineral H2o also, Mee said must buy some food so can munch on the bus, haha our family are habitual law-breakers la, shhhh!

851 passed by Bugis Street, then Mee spotted some teenaged girls smoking, and our conversation went like that:

Mee: "Wah! So young smoke."

Me: "Hannor. Too much money already."

Mee: "Maybe they work then need to smoke."

Me : "What kinda job requires you to smoke huh?"

Mee: "..."

LOL. So throughout the bus ride, we munched on grubs, I think we're pro finger-foodies, blabbed about everything and anything we see, and napped a lil too. There was one time when two ah peks sitting behind us were talking about Project Superstar (so hip lor!) and Ah Pek #1 kept saying the blind guy, CHEN HAN WEI sings quite well, LMAO he actually mixed up Chen Han Wei and Chen Wei Lian, so when they got off at Bugis my Mum said "Chen Wei Lian, not Chen Han Wei." -_-"

Weeee~ Sis's happy with new shoes. So we've got new 'school shoes', she started school today while I still have like 4~5 days of holidays left [T_T] I'll cherish what's left! Haha still happy though, cus' I'll have new specs and shoes for school! And there's 7~8 days left to the Malacca trip! =]
