Got my new specs

After 4 years, my old specs (frame only) looked very faded. In fact I was looking to get a new frame some time back but just thought I could wait out for some time. Since it is the holidays, i thought I may as well get it done before term begins.

I went back to the same shop where I purchased this old frame and lenses. As the dimensions are a little unique (that frame was the in fashion back in 03), there were not many choices but I managed to get one that looks pretty decent and quite up-to-date.

The damage was $138 but it looks sturdier than the old one. The side arms are not metal but plastic which means I do not have to worry about corrosion due to my pespiration. Thankfully, my previous specs had the arms laminated to prevent corrosion. Hopefully this one can last at least another 2 or 3 years? Incidentally, the lenses are already slightly past a year but given that it is a good quality one, I reckon it can hold out for another 3 years with proper care.
