My chance to get a pair of Transitions came when I got the chance to attend the Malaya Optical Eye Wear event organized by
Miu. The event was a chance for her readers to check out the 2011 collection of designer and branded eye wear products. On top of that, there will be vouchers and lots of discounts for frames and color contacts! A great opportunity for those who which to stock up on contacts or those who want to invest in a branded pair of frames =D
I myself decided to go for it in case I got a good deal for the Transitions >D I've been inquiring different opticians on the price of Transitions. Most of them quoted between RM450-RM650 for Transition lens and basic frames only. I refuse to go back to my old optician as I haven't been really happy with the service he gave me. Because of them, I've been wearing tilted glasses for the past 2 years *sobs*. The last time I went to them to realign my specs, he keeps insisting they were straight >(. Long story short, I decided to go for another optician.
I was there by 11am because I mistaken the time *sobs* but at least we got parking! =D and we were the first thanks to me >_<. Good thing too as we got to have the first look at the frames and test our eyes before the crowds floods in 8D.
The moment we stepped in, we were greeted by Mr Ryan, the boss of Malaya Optical. He immediately removed my glasses saying it's tilted and asked his staff to repair it! @A@ omg such good service! It's slightly better now and they cleaned it using some cleaning machine @w@. We were served Teh Tarik and lollipops rofl while looking through their latest collection. They have quite a large range of brands @w@ there's Bonia, Tag Heuer, Elle, Coach and a lot more I'm not familiar with.
Crazy crowd as there was an irresistible promo of RM15 for a box of contact lens! Sadly I'm stuck with specs for life =(
The drawer of candy~
I picked out a green pair of frames from United Colors of Benetton and Carl Zeiss Transition lens. Total after discount was RM650 8D not too bad considering it's branded frames and Transitions. My specs have cost as high as RM800 before as they were multifocal + multicoat and they were RM250 on each side @@. I didn't mind going slightly over budget (I think it was horribly over my budget T_T) as all Carl Zeiss Transitions are reflection free, high resistant, dust and scratch resistant and blocks UV rays from the PC screen thanks to the Zeiss coatings.
After picking out my frames, I was ushered into the room for a short eye check. My power went up slightly >_< and so did my astigmatism. My astigmatism is crazily high according to one of the staff as a normal person would have an astigmatism of +0.25 while mine was +1.00 @_@. They made me wear those heavy dorky glasses with the lens inserted inside and walk around the store for the next 10 minutes to see if my eyes can adjust to the power in my future-to-be specs. Decided to roam around and catch up with a few of the girls to kill my time XD;; Met Camie, Elle and even Arisa was there for the contact lens offer haha!
Some of the Benetton frames, if you look closer, you might be able to see the price @_@
The staff helping her customers picking out the right frames. Some frames cost as high as RM800 @A@.
After paying and nibbling some munchies from the snack table, we made our way to Tropicana for our movie. Popped by Paperdolls first and got myself a polka dotted dress!
It came with a polka dot bag!!!! LOL
Lunch was Bobalicious lunch set! This is their passionfruit orange smoothie
My Chicken Bolognese Spaghetti~
Ahhhh I can't wait to receive my specs now! >w< *runs around with excitement* No more tilted specs!!!!
