contact lens day

Almost every week, i'll go out to shop alone - slightly further away from home. On these days, i will wear my dailies contact lens and makeup. I always try to max out where i wanna go/do on those days becoz my contact lens costs S$2/pair. Haha! ;p

$2 is not a lot, but if u multiply by 30 days, it is already $60/month, $720/year. That is about 6 YEARS supply of monthly lens! But i dont think i will ever go for lasik.

On 'Contact Lens Day', before i come home, i'll go to the salon to do hair treatment and they will style a nice nice TaiTai hairdo for me. But every time when i reach home, i'll be back to being Mommy to Joel...so my nice nice hairstyle is GONE!!! Haha... That is so un-TaiTai.

Today is just the same.

P.S. If i just go to the supermarket or nearby (walking distance), i will just wear my home tshirt, a bottom...and look totally "nerdy" in my specs.

Photo taken on 27 May when i got bangs! Every week, my hairstylist will try to style something different for me. ;)

ya, i am wearing daily lenses too. really expensive! So sometimes i wear specs on short outings

Jo said...

yeah, i also do that...dont waste the $2. haha! i dont like to wear specs when i'm out. i feel kinda "lost" with so much movement going around me. at home it feels more comfortable.

I used to be on monthly contact lens. Then because i usually only wear it during the weekends, i change to a dailies. Then now, i realise i use it almost everyday. Don't like the sweaty specs on my nose bridge lah. Just very uncomfortable. So now, i change to a 2-weekly lens. And i'm still buying the lens from Spore. HAha. Don't know if it's cheaper here.

Why not go for lasik, jo?

Is Jakarta hotter than Spore...so makes wearing specs more uncomfortable? Do u stock up on your lens?

I've got a 1-year supply of dailies which can probably last me about 2 years lah. (Coz i get 40% off for 1yr lens) That's why i didnt think of doing lasik. Plus my degree is about 200 only lah.

2 of my sisters did lasik and are happy with it. U young girls should do it. I'm so old already...and i suspect i already have a bit of long-sightedness. -.-lll

40%? Where did you buy your lenses from? I'm still getting my lenses from spore. Cos my right eye has astigmatism, so if i were to buy in Jakarta, have to wait up to 3 months cos they need to order from overseas.

40% here! If buy 6-mths supply i think is about 20% off. I used to buy from Spore at about S$2/day (special promo). The 40% here, same brand J&J Acuvue works out to about S$1.80/day.

If u want, give me the details and i'll help u check out the price here. ;)
