New Glasses

I broke my spectacles frame today, so I went to the optician to see what can be done. The lady told me that because my lens is made of glass and is of the big size one (you people should know) and they only have the small size narrow type of frame. The only way to fix my lens into the frame is to cut it to the size of the frame. Unfortunally, they do not have the machine available to cut the glass lens and so if they sent for their workshop, it will take a week...

Luckily it turns out they have spare lens for me and so they made one for me on the spot, although the whole process cost me a few hundreds bucks (which pained my heart) and around two hours of waiting time for them to cut the plastic lens they have. I guess it is still okay since I can continue to work. Oh ya, they also say if you needed any slight adjustment of the glasses, you can just come back anytime and no extra charges will be made. The optician also advise me to see him every three months or so to "calliper" my eyes and glasses (free of charge too).

Hmmm, so maybe investing a few hundreds over a pair of spectacles is not too bad (and unavoidable for people like me). Enough is said, I should get back to work on my take-home exams.
