Bausch + Lomb Contact Lenses

Abbey: I got this as a Christmas gift from my baby. She told me to try contact lenses for a change :) I was hesitant at first because its a pain getting the lenses to my eyes. I ended up with teary, red eyes and a runny nose. First week of use, its good. Wilma always puts them for me. Now on the second week, its my turn. So far its a piece of cake. I hope I will master it. Haha. Thanks for the new pair of eyes. It only cost 200SGD for a year. Not bad huh.

WILL: Its a long argument. Pros and cons for him to wear contact lenses. But when, i am always squinting my eyes for me to see some signs, Abbey made a deal that i should have a eye checkup too before he will get the lenses. 

So we headed to NEX to look for an optometrists. Abbey's eyes 225 - 220 last year was only 175-200.
       
After some tests, we pay the lenses not more than that we expect. Its for one year supply and every pair can be used for a month.
        
Happy for Abbey :)  Now he can put his contacts on without my help. 

POMPEII

ABBEY:

This gallery exhibits the remains of the Pompeii after Mt. Vesuvius' eruption. The town is located on a basin- shaped landscape, so it collected all the ashes, lava and fury of the volcano. Only hours when the town was totally buried on debris. Artifacts like earthenware, coins, grind mills and frescoes were displayed. An eye-witness account were also documented. It showed fear and loss of hope for the people during the tragedy. Its a hard lesson to learn and also an eye-opener for us living now.

WILL: Saw the advert at the MRT station and Abbey told me that he wants to see it. I am bit hesitant due the price is quite high, SGD12.00. But when the National Museum announces its free entrance to all its exhibit, of course, we do not have second thoughts to see Pompeii.

      At the gate, you can feel a chill, you can see the casts of people and animals died in the volcanic eruption. The exhibit also portrays the abundance of this place.

      There is also a 3D movie that shows how the eruption and how this civilization ends. And after the tour in this exhibit, I have a one question in mind. What are the sins committed of Pompeii people that cause God to end their lives. 

     

National Museum of Singapore

ABBEY: Honestly, I didn't manage to visit Phil natl museum. Good thing I found time last christmas to visit singapore's. Its an open-house, meaning u can visit all the galleries free of charge. We went for the purple line and alight at douby ghaut, where we rode the circle line. After alighting at bras basah, we walked for about 300m until we reached the museum. We entered the history of singapore gallery. We were given each a Companion, an electronic narrator that guides you on your way to the gallery. We've seen paintings, artifacts, replicas and other historic icons on the gallery. We also take a look at the food gallery and presidential gifts galllery which exhibits the gifts from other foreign leaders.

WILL: It was December 25 and the Museum opens its door to all the people of here in Singapore, free of charge. Who we are to deny the invitation, hehehe. We alight at Bras Basah station of Yellow Line MRT.

      A fine day of Saturday we went there to see the History, the food, presents to their presidents and even the Pompeii, exhibit. 

      Unlike other museum, here, taking pictures is allowed, but without flash. I really enjoyed the Singapore History Gallery. Entrance for this is SGD10. We have the "companion" a gadget provided by Sennheiser. It will be your personal guide. 

      Thank you National Heritage Board.
