      Thanks all for the sharing on Lasik and lenses. Been reading all the feedback from you guys with interest. I did dream of Lasik too. But ex la.. 😞


      So for Lasik, the end-result really boils down to the person's type of eyes.

        Best if you can go to the LASIK centre for eye screening and then, the doc and nurses will advise you based on your eyes condition. It is quite cheap around $100 at that time and it took around 4 hours. After that, you can question them and decide whether to go for it.

        Most of my friends went to the same LASIK centre as I did, and after the screening, they did the LASIK the next day, same as me. We could not wait to have perfect eyesights :rahrah:

            Has anyone tried to lasik when you are already experiencing start of θ€θŠ±ηœΌ?I I am now at this stage whereby my myopia is around 200 (and depend largely on contact lens), think not worth to go for lasik at my age and yet θ€θŠ±ηœΌ is making it difficult for me to read document and food label at times. Thought of getting progressive lens but I hate wearing glassess as I feel uncomfortable after a few hours' wear. Now :scratchhead: which one to go.

              My hubby went for lasik in his late 20s. But now also need glasses. So I guess no point doing lasik if one is near 40 or past 40 because will still end up with specs.

                Actually spec also not that cheap. Transition lens are so expensive for those with high myopia.

                So many optical shops sprouting up everywhere, must be easy money for those shops

                    Hi Ladies


                    Is anyone using a front load washing machine and is happy / unhappy with it? Please share.

                    Am in desperate need to replace my 8 kg Brandt front load washing machine, which is not worth repairing. It's only 3 and a half years old! Current repairs cost $3xx and then touch panel also going to 'kaput' so that will cost at least $2xx.

                    My previous washer was an Electrolux and it served me well for 11 years. Current models are made in Thailand so not sure if still reliable.

                    HELP. Have to find a reliable front load washer quickly. In my household, we can't live without a washing machine... :?:

                        I just bought a new LG front load 8kg from courts. The Motor has a warranty for 10 yrs and I bought another 3 yrs warranty from courts, therefore normal spare parts repair will be under the warranty of 5 yrs. main reason that I bought it is not many washer gives 10 years warranty on motor.

                        The salesman recommend this as it is using inverter direct drive system. http://www.lg.com/sg/washing-machines

                        Compare to my Brandt which using 2 hours to finish the washing cycle, LGuses only 1 hr and use even lesser water than my Brandt front load.
                        This is just my experience using LG and Brandt.

                        Btw, my MIL using Bosch front load and it only lasted 2 yrs. MIL has a habit of washing everyday with 1/4 load.
