.....times of refreshing.....

I brought my family to Johor Premium Outlets again last weekend, which was two visits in two weekends, after never been there for almost a year! Well, no branded stuffs to buy but I thought of getting a new pair of glasses, with progressive lens. Yes, I am getting younger :P and reading seems to be challenging, though I put off the idea of getting these expensive lens as my current transition lenses were only 9 months old and I like it very much! But of late, I was really having problems reading small alphabets at reading distance and thought it's really time to get a pair. A progressive lens is a mixed of distance, intermediate and reading lens in one specs and it should very natural to the eyes as the distance zone is located at the side where I will look far while reading is located at the bottom of the lens where my eyes will look down naturally to read. I got the cheapest pair at RM870 and that's a good price from JPO compared to other outlets as well as my family optician has moved to her newly opened outlet over there.

Back in JB, I spotted a newly opened kopitiam in Permas Jaya called One Two Eat Cafe, and thought it's a good idea to try it. I love the ambience there and the place was fully of CNY music!

Look at the long dragon lantern there

I ordered a lamp chop as it looks good on the menu and cost only RM18.90. It's tasty with black pepper sauce but I find the portion is too small.

And a kao kao Vietnamese creamy coffee to end my day!

It was a great weekend for me. School holidays was here and thus, I had a good time bringing my family around on Saturday and Sunday. In fact, both were busy days. Went to Johor premium outlets, two Aeons malls, got my supplements at Amway Jb and had bat kut teh at the famous kota tinggi's restaurant. It's really been a long while since we travelled like that and that was usually what we did before the new weekend (friday and Saturday) starts.

First, I had a good time getting two pairs of shoes, a working shoes and a running shoes.  I also got one for my kid at JPO.

That's my kid's sketcher which is also his first sketcher shoes. He likes it very much especially the 'memory foam' which provides very good cushioning. Got it at RM120.

I got a new working shoes from skechers since my old one was really worn our with no more frictions and grip at the rubber sole. It's also 'memory foam' and its really very comfy with lots of cushioning. Got it ar RM199.

Finally, I got myself another running shoes at Nike Factory Store. Got it at RM240.

I was wearing my current 3 month old Nike shoes to this store and the sales promoter actually told me my current shoes was good with a good cushion. However, I told him that I got knee pain as well as calf muscles ache after wearing it for long distance run. Then, he told me my shoes are meant for flat-footed folks and asked me to show him my foot shape. It's actually the arch type and thus, he told me that could be reason I got the pains. He even told me I will get back pain soon. hahaha... Thus, I asked him to recommend me a good arch type shoes and I got this one. Quite comfy as its fits my feet as I ran yesterday.
