Another long weekend for us, and this time for the hotly contested Presidential Election. As in the General Election in May this year, we didn’t both go out to cast our vote at the same time. Little girl in tow etc. and we weren’t sure if our polling center (just next door!) was going to let us bring a non-voter into the area.
Still, plenty of photo opportunities again, with morning brunch at Qiji @ Hougang Mall. Hannah took a special interest in turning the pages of the Today newspaper.=)
Picked up a new set of spectacle lenses too. The old pair I’ve been using since November 2009 had lost a good deal of its coating – despite my having paid for a multi-whatever-coated pair – at that point, and it was so bad that I could see blurred spots while wearing my classes. The replacement lenses was some kind of high tech gizmo that claimed to eliminate or at least repel all five impediments to clear vision: reflections, scratches, water, smudges, and even dust. You can read the claim here.
The pair of lenses cost SGD130 (ouch), but whether it works as advertised, I’ll have to see. Shouldn’t have to wait too long, since I’m a pretty rough user. =)
I have long hair and the “flying” hairs tend to leave lip gloss marks on my lens. *sigh*. The crizal lens don’t seem to prevent those types of smudges!
The online reviews of these lenses seem positive so far though, so I’m hopeful. =)
