GarDens By The Bay & ConTacT LenSes

was on course ytd at gardens by the bay. and they gave a same day one-day pass to the flower dome. as many of them just want to go off after the course, they did not want the passes. so, took 1 pass for hubb and asked him to come join me after work. 

hoho. since there liao and got free entrance, y not right?

the last time we went, we only visited the cloud forest. never been to the flower dome before. and now, it's the xmas tsum tsum theme liao. 







probably our 1st xmas tree for the year




honestly, nothing much inside. it's just like an indoor airconditioned garden, that's all. 

but not bad la, at least now i can say, ive been to the 2 domes before. haha. not so sua-ku.

after that went to make myself a pair of new lenses. went back to the same shop that did my '9yrs-lenses'. quite cheap leh. $150 nia (and i tot the last time i made lenses from them in 2016, they charged me $180?? why now cheaper huh?). called up another optical shop which quoted me $250 and that shop was just a few units away from this current shop. 

really hor. why such a vast difference? and both shops told me the same thing - that the lenses will only be good for 1yr plus. 

and according to this shop, there is only 1 supplier left who is still manufacturing permanent lenses. if that is true, it will mean whichever optical retail shop i go to, they will go to this one same manufacturer to manufacture the lens. so.... why 1 shop charge $150 and the other charge $250 leh?????

that's y.. really must compare around.. 

and according to this gal at the shop, there was a record of me making lenses somewhere around 2013. ok, so perhaps, the lenses did not last me for 9yrs lah, since somewhere around 2013, i did make a new pair. 

hoho. 

sounds chim right?

ok nvm, i can only say, things nowadays really not as lasting as they used to be liao. 

sigh.
