Broken Spectacles and an interesting start.

Yep...

Exams has started and I guess some of the papers killed all of us. Was almost late for my geography paper today. Wanted to take a bus but went down too late due to some stupid lift incident. Kevinn called and told me he was going to take a cab and we tried to flag one from where we were and pick the other up. I managed to flag one and i got to where Kevinn was. There was a slight jam before I reached him and after he got in, there was another jam and we were very late. After 10 minutes, we were back at my place and heading to school. We were already late then. Encounted another jam 5 minutes after and this one lasted the longest and we waited til we had only 15 minutes before the examination started. We decided to take a video of the incident to record the significant moment lol. We waited some more and decided to get everything ready so that once we stop, we can make a dash into the hall.

Packed everything and took out our pencil cases and kept our handphones in our bags and we got our money ready. We alighted and ran to the traffic light and made it to the hall just in time as they were about to give out the papers. It was a heartstopping moment but a relieved one.

Broken spectacles? Yep. Broke my third one last week.

This was my first pair that lasted for a year. My second pair actually, lost my very first pair. But this pair survived with my for the longest from mid 2006 to Jan this year until the grim reaper came. Ah.. a rare classic design.



This was my previous pair. Got it as a replacement when the one before broke. The optician managed to use some tape to repair the previous frame for awhile when this pair was being made. This one lasted for um.. 2 months? Got it 4 days after I broke that pair a few days before AQ lol. Funny thing about this pair? Here's the conversation when I was deicded what lens I should get for it.

Optician: Would you like to get polycarbonate lenses? They're very hardy and can withstand huge impacts.
Mum: No thanks. He'll do just fine with the normal multi-coated ones. How much do the polycarbonate ones cost?
Optician: $160. They come with multi-coat too.
Mum: I'll just take the normal ones then.

Guess what.. The lense broke from some impact.



This is my current pair and the replacement I mentioned earlier from the previous pair. Current one? Yep. Fixed it with some tape. After showing my mum the broken lens from the previous pair, she decided to go for the polycarbonate lens for this pair. Got this pair from Malaysia as a gift from my Aunt. Wore this for AQ and broke it last week lol.



Sigh.. Gotta be more careful next time. I put normal lenses and strong frame, the frame breaks. I put stronger lenses and the frame breaks..

Enough said.
