I wrote a while back about our trip to the optometry to make new pairs of prescription glasses for the kids and my hubby. You can find that post here: A Trip To Optometry Shop | My Family Prescription Glasses Are Paid Using My HIVE Earnings
Usually, it only takes one week to get the glasses ready but because of the Eid Al-Adha holiday, we only collected them last Saturday. Also, the optometry was located quite a distance from our place, so we could only make the weekend trip, and not on weekdays when we are busy with schooling and stuff.
The shop is located at Tropicana Aman, a new township at Shah Alam. I took a picture of this large signage placed by the main road heading to the township.
We were so excited to collect the spectacles that I forgot to take pictures inside the shop and took one snap as we stepped out of the shop instead. Clear vision at last!
You don't see a lot of difference in the kids' glasses because both picked frame styles similar to their old glasses. But hubby picked one that resembles mine.
And family selfies with their new glasses. I admit, this trip to optometry caused a huge dent in our monthly expenses but I am still glad we could make new glasses for the kids. Both had a significant increase in their (vision) power, which was expected, and they truly needed new glasses. So that's that.
And oh, I forgot to mention that these glasses were paid for using my HIVE earnings. Yup, I withdrew some of my HBD savings just to pay for these glasses. I am very grateful for how HIVE (and Steemit in the past) always helped me financially and usually paid for important and life-saving stuff like my medical bills when I had to undergo major surgery in 2018. I have been on this platform for 6 years and if you wonder why my HIVE stakes never go up beyond 3K and achieve that elusive dolphin/whale status, well, this is the reason...
Life needs money. Period.
And before leaving, we stopped at a kopitiam (coffee shop) for our lunch. They are some restaurants nearby but we wanted to save some money and only the kopitiam offers cheap meals.
That's it for now. If you read this far, thank you. I appreciate it so much! Kindly give me a follow if you like my content. I mostly write about making art, life musing, and our mundane yet charming family life here in Klang Valley, Malaysia.

congrcgratulations on the six years! you must have earned a lot thru the years, Hive really is a huge help, no one gives you money anywhere.
Thank you. That's right, HIVE has been a blessing to many people.

I want to replace my glasses too. Hope I can use my hive too haha..
You're so sweet. Thank you!
Hive is truly valuable when we struggle financially. I normally don't withdraw it unless I have no other way to get that much needed $.
Thats awesome, like Hive is really a savior to some including me. I also use my hive earnings here to use for my needs, not just me but also my Moms, hehe. Its really thanks HIVE!
And good thing you finally got the glasses ┌|o^▽^o|┘♪
That's right. It's hard to gain votes but consistency in delivering quality, original content is a must thing to do on this platform. Glad that Hive has blessed you and your mom too.
HIVE is such a big help! Good thing I found HIVE since that is the reason why I can pay for most of my school supplies since $17.38 monthly is not enough. Sorry for sharing my anecdote a bit, as it's just heartwarming to hear how you used your HIVE earnings to pay for new glasses for your kids and husband.
Wow that is so encouraging to hear. I am glad Hive is paying for your educational needs. Keep up with producing great content and it will be rewarded 💪
