These shoes ARE NOT! made for walking

There i was just a walking down the street..singing do-ah-di-di-di-di-dum-di-di-do! Not today!!!!oh nooooo...and let me tell you why.

I've never really been the type to wear strappy sandals or heels or whatever type of lady shoes. I'm simply comfy in my sneakers or overused/old loafers and of course, plain ol' thongs! (slippers ok?we'll save lingerie for another post..another time!)


* sneakers...i like! *

Now since i'm doing my training, gotta wear strappy sandals/shoes to work la right. Can't exactly wear any other foot gear with these work-y clothes. So i've been a good girl, haven't been complaining about these damn shoes causing my feet to cut and bruise and turn red...it really hurts!i dunno how ppl can stand wearing them!

My bad luck starts early in the morning. I figured the straps to my sandals were loose coz' they were old or something, just wore them to work anyway. As soon as i reach the office, a strap breaks! uh-ohhhhh...quickly y! my sis..i dunno what to do in these situations u know.


* broke something like this *

Following her expert advice, i cut off the strap and luckyly i could still use the damn sandals with another 2 remaining straps. Had to cut the strap off the left one too(didnt want to make a fashion statement did i?). Really felt like a "mentos" moment.

Fine!Drama over. At least i thought so. Went for lunch with 2 friends, and as soon as i get up from our lunch table....another damn strap breaks! Aiyooooo, felt like screaming!!!This time, i couldnt even walk!Had to drag my feet about 25 meters to the nearest shoe shop and guess wat? its a BATA shoe shop!!!! Aduiii...talk about really bad luck!What to do?Had to buy shoes. And with me being bigfoot and all, had to settle for a pair of black strappy heels which cost me 50 bucks! man, 50 bucks for bata shoes!sux bigtime!


* and bought something like this *

Wore them, looked pretty, so boughtla. Took me a few mins later back my desk to realise i had just bought 50 bucks worth of pain. not just any teeny weeny "ant bite" pain ok! It felt like 100 knives poking thru my feet!*sob*...Suffering in silence, then cannot tahan ready, i had to kick off my shoes n sit shoe-less at my desk(hope nobody noticed). Couldnt even get up to go to the loo!
Aiyo..somehow wore those damn sandals and dragged my feet home.

Such drama!Bloody shoes!A friend even suggested i keep a pair of back-up shoes at the office!

Geez.....Things like this never happen to sneakers!sigh....
