Haha, So Funny !!

Eileen with the Red Luggage

Haha, it's so funny.

That's my colleague, Eileen. I was with her at Chinatown last evening to get her specs done & she needed to get a luggage that can contain her stuff for the 1 month Europe trip in May, i'm so so so envious.

At the optical shop, she tried at least 50 pairs of specs; just to determine the color of the frame & shape of the lenses. The boss was so patient with her & was very honest. Eileen had earlier wanted another set of frames that would set her back by $400. But, after i saw the other type of frame which was real nice & only costs 1/4 of the earlier set, the boss didn't try to "hard-sell" the more expensive pair. It was nice, in the end; she only paid $170 for the new specs; which i thought was really reasonable. I will definitely go there if i need another pair of specs.

Ok, then we went to see the luggage she wanna get. She didn't want the old-fashioned type, she wanted a functional yet fashionable one. So we compared prices between 2 stores & got a real cool deal at the 1st shop we went to. She only paid $173 for the red luggage (see pic), which was a good deal; considering the original price was at $289.

Here comes the funny part, you would have thought that we would be taking a cab home since we were carrying such a big luggage bag. That's what i thought too, but nope; it ain't happening. We were unable to get a cab outside the building & decided to take a bus instead, since Eileen stays in Bugis; it's just a few stops away. Haha, imagine the stares & funny looks she got when she lugged the big red luggage onto the bus; Eileen was feeling damn embarrassed.

Luckily for us, the bus was pretty empty....haha! That's the 1st & last time I'll accompany her to do that, no way it's gonna happen again.
