Getting Cheap Eyewear?

Looking at today's economic situation, we are often advised by the government to be thrifty in our spending. However, there are just certain necessities that we must have such as, eyewear. It’s quite difficult to keep the same pair of glasses for two years (unless we are wearing contact lens). Somewhat, it may get worn out, broken or even our eyes may need a different prescription of lenses.

It's really hard to get cheap eyewear these days.
We, as consumers are often charged at an over-priced pair of glasses from established shops. We do not really know that glasses are not that expensive.
But, seems like we could get our eyewear through online purchase, which is pretty common now. Most importantly, we are buying for a much cheaper and affordable price.

This article from Chicago Tribune, caught me into surprise that name-brand frames companies only license their names to a frame manufacturer. So, why are we paying for expensive eyewear? We might as well settle for our own favorite trendy pair of eyewear.

There is a website, ZenniOptical.com where it offers convenient online shopping. Imagine eyeglasses price start from $8. To place an order, you need to have at least a prescription for corrective eyeglass lens and your pupillary distance. All we need is a credit card or a debit card and we could make online purchase through their user-friendly website.

Isn't that simple and easy?

My father's friend owns an optical chain... and he is super rich. And my mother used to get huge discounts on the price tag. I guess you can guess how much ppl actually earn and why some things are so expensive!!!

What's the Difference between 'Net' and "Nett"

Since it's part of my group's job to publish daily billings report to the management, our Director (from US) pinpointed that we should fix the spelling of 'nett billings' to 'net billings'. My colleauge was looking at google, trying to understand the 'right' spelling to be used. I finally checked it from Wikipedia , and found that 'nett' is BRITISH and 'net' is AMERICAN. No wonder he's offended to fix it to 'net'! C'mon. I'm in an american MNC, I should be more sensitive towards this.

An afternoon at Dannok

Living at the northern side of Malaysia makes it really convenient and easy to go 'overseas'. For us, going to our neighboring country, be it Thailand or Singapore by land or by flight is really easy. I'm always a fan of Thai food, and with the remaining Thai bahts that I had since my last Bangkok trip (which I didn't finish even crossing the border a couple or times), I decided to go Dannok for FOOD again. So, it's a day trip or rather, half day tour to Dannok For the past few weeks, I was searching for insta / blog /facebook posts if there is any other new hangouts in Dannok, but sadly, I couldn't find many bloggers who write about it. The funny part is, I already blogged about it two years ago. The immigration complex in Malaysia is new. I nearly couldn't recognize it, while passing to get our passport checked. As I didn't want to drive over, we parked our car at the Zon Duty Free. As I entered, I took the wrong ticket (which parking rate is RM3
