I am quite a sad 4-eye frog, technically speaking, I am only one eye blind, and my blindness has reached 375 for a single eye.
Well, i am not a big fan of glasses so i never remember to wear glasses. Yes, i have been relying on my single eye to see, walk, drive, eat, shit and sleep. It is amazing that that poor hardworking eye still in perfect condition. God loves me i know.
I have been hearing a lot of Focus point ads on the radio and yeah they are having some sales now, ranging from RM99 to RM168 including frame+lens. Sounds really cool right?
Since I have always wanted a pair of new glasses, so, without thinking much I went to the Sg wang branch since I was there as well. Obviously, being quite a miser, I don’t see the need to spend so much on my glasses, so, I inquired the sales dude to show me the promotional RM99 frames. And you know, he wasn’t really keen about me choosing the cheap frames. Of course he tried his best to persuade me to buy the expensive frames since they are just ‘abit’ more than my budget and they look better. Heck, by a bit more budget i am talking about RM200 to RM400. Damn. I was willing to spend about RM300 on frames+lens, but he kept introducing me those that were RM600+ and shit.
So, I insisted looking around the promotional frames. You know, the treatment was really different. When you want to look at expensive frames, you get to sit, and try on the frame, and they bring glasses to you. And, when you only want to buy the cheap stuff, they stand aside looking one kind. You know, that kind of ‘cheapskate don’t come and buy glasses’ face. HECK! I was giving him business.
Anyway, finally, I chose a pair of frames, and with lens it sets me back at RM280, nice pair of frames and still within my budget.
My lesson is: I would never step into Focus point again, or I would not bother a shit or opinion given by the sales dude. DAMN.
 *** this is the branch in sg wang, parkson there.Â
Which branch was this – I think it’s that guy only la – we can give that outlet a miss…
I was an invicible man when I went in with a T-shirt, a pair of shorts and slippers.
yup, they suck, prefer the non chain stores
Friedbeef: I think they all look down on others who are not so ‘rich’, this branch is in Sg Wang
Weilian: I was there with jeans only. I ‘swam’ into the shop myself
hamzah: agree, i think even shops like a-look got much better service
quite typical service…they make you feel bad to buy cheap stuff…..

i highly recommend MOG-1 utama.
Good and friendly.
RM 139 for frame+lenses. Cheap!
Rice Blogger: its the branch in sg wang. i mean, it’s not like we don’t give them biz, why must they be like that right.

lcf: If you are willing to spend on glasses, then mabbe its a good choice. Their lenses feel quite solid actually compared to my old glasses
