Went to make a new specs just now. I was determine not to get a pink frame cuz many ppl say i look like a teacher when i wear my old specs i kinda look a bit pale wif pink frames.
When i reached that shop, the optician there was busy wif 2 customers,an auntie and his son (gosh...the little boy is in kindergarten cuz wearing the blue PAP uniform. so young, and need to wear specs liao... like my father said, im real lucky to only start wearing my specs in sec 4. my response??? I replied that this meant that i really studied a lot for my Olevels... ok... nvr mind)
Since the guy was busy, he asked me to choose wad kind of frame i want. so i choose lor. But to me, all the frames look kind of similar only of different colours. So wif the colour pink off my mind, i went straight for the black or dark blue ones ( i want to try a different style-- the panda style!!!). Tried a lot, but they all look wierd on my face. I already think my face sucks. With all these specs, i think i look suckier.
When the optician finally came to me, he said in chinese," come xiao mei (little girl), i intoduce some specs that are suitable for u." Then turned to the rack behind the counter( wad the hell... first he called me xiao mei( he looks just a few years older than me), now he go one big round to tell me indirectly that i had wasted all my time just now trying out all the specs that are NOT suitable for me.
But i enjoyed this trip cuz its the first time i had to sit infront of a machine that looks like a binoculars and in the lense i saw 2 colourful ducks swimming ( i think the animation is to lure little kids to sit infront of the machine so that the optician can trace the degree. ( oh no... i enjoyed it ,so that means im still a kid, so slapped with the "xiao mei" title is no joke)
Then was told to wear a bookworm-look-alike-specs for the correct lenses. First time had to compare the sharpness between the red and green board. A real eye opener!!! So when everythings fine, the optician asked me to look outside to test the sharpness and the comfort level of the frame... only to meet eye-to-eye with a malay couple who happened to walk past the shop. They gave me the facial expression like they had just saw an alien (OMG! They must be shocked by my bookworm face)
I did not need to do all these with my previous opticial shop. Thats why i tend to feel a little giddy when i wore my previous specs. And the previous shop looks more classy than this one somemore. I swear i will nvr go to the previous opticial shop ( looks can bluff )
