Shades~

After contemplating for the longest of time, I finally took the plunge and bought me a pair of prescription shades! I decided to invest in a pair after learning from a fellow Singaporean-New Yorker that our insurance plans cover part of the cost of prescription lenses! I found out that my insurance covers up to USD100 per pair (plus the cost of the eye exam to get my prescription). So, I was kinda expecting to pay a couple of hundreds out of my own pocket. But, the lovely surprise was, I only had to pay less than USD100 in the end, even though the frames were supposedly USD140 and the polarized lenses were USD200. Apparently, there were additional discounts from a summer sale and the insurance plan. But hey, I ain't complaining. *Grinz*

Yap, my very own pair of Ray-Ban shades!!! When I showed Zim, he was like "Huh, so ah-lian.". !^@$@#$$%^# Tmd.. that guy has no taste.. Pui~

Well, the downside of this really great deal was that my lenses are uber thick... =/ Afterall, my prescription was 4.25 per eye (it actually went down from 4.75!! My eyesight's improving!) and cheapo me refused to pay another USD150 for thinner lenses. I guess people don't really notice the thickness and with my fringe covering, it probably isn't that obvious anyway.

This was supposed to be my birthday present.. but since it ended up being so cheap, Mr Lim felt generous enough to offer to pay for my MacBook Air as well. (So effectively, I've two pressies from him!) Wahahaha, what a great bargain for me!

I love August!!!
