Contact lens HAVE cup size.. are you aware what is your cup size?

For all contact lens wearers in Malaysia, this might come as a shock to you..

This was because as my friend from Japan who recently visited me in Malaysia was very surprised to see contact lens being sold in kiosks. She explained that in Japan, one must visit an optometrist in order to determine your cup size.

"Cup size??", I asked.. Turned out beside the power, every individual have different eye shape.

To know the cup size of the contact lens, just refer to the number above the power. That's the cup size which is 8.7 in the picture below.

So once again, another example where consumers in Malaysia are short-changed by the local industry... Imagine the comfort of wearing contact lens which are fitted for your eyes but for years we have been given a one-size-fits-all contact lens depending on what stock we have in Malaysia.

Considering the prices of contact lens by famous brands are not cheap, these kind of practices should not be accepted as norm in Malaysia as we are no longer third world country but a developing country.

Snack time!!

My current favourite shopping item whenever I travel are BISCUITS!! They make very good gifts and do not cost a bomb... Rather than cracking your head on what to buy for who, I just buy plenty of biscuits which are not available in Malaysia.

Like in Japan I will go to 100 Yen shop but many times these biscuits can be found in Shojikiya locally but at higher prices.

Surprisingly Indonesia has a lot of biscuits from the brand Monde and Nissin, sometimes also known as Monde Nissin. Anyhow their biscuits costs less than Rup10,000 (less than RM3.50) and taste so much nicer than the ones in Malaysia.

Our current favourite are these:-

My current favorite.. inside are small small biscuits with chocolate sauce as filling

 

 

Recently my boss came back from Turkey and as usual he will get for us this famous ULKER chocolate wafer cum biscuit bar - kind of like Kit Kat - but more wafer and much thicker.. Really nice and precious treat for us as we only get one bar each... Sigh...

 

So the next time you travel, instead of just buying things for display, consider buying biscuits instead and you'll be surprise at what you can find the local supermarkets ;D
