during that outing last month
before Cheryl left for UK
we saw this at Hush Puppies outlet
50% off flip flops
but only size 9 left
ok fine
*
two weeks ago
during another trip with N
saw them again at Voir Gallery
and there were size 8
but we were on our way to lunch place
thought will come later
oops…i just forgot till i got home
and along the way had grabbed
another pair of flora sandals
*
thought will go back on Monday
but something happened at home
and the scheme went pending
*
till last Sunday
back at Aeon again
no more sales at the HP outlet
so was Jusco
*
and last Saturday
back at Voir Gallery
disappointed again
sales period was over
*
next day, Sunday
went Madam King with mom
that is the oldest departmental store
in Melaka, at Jalan Bunga Raya
*
there was sales
no worries, it’s not meant for me
all those housewives’ stuffs
kitchen utensils, towels etc etc
and cosmetic and personal stuffs
always got my St. Ives here
*
i didn’t expect to buy anything from here
casually browsing the shoes section
checking out a pair of sandals at Scholl
*
that’s so old school
Scholl
when i was young i always mistook it as School
*
told my mom how i missed the HP flip flops
and she encouraged me to get this
and no more not-for-raining-days Roxy
*
for aunties of the earlier generation
ehem, am not talking about my mom
Scholl is the super brand
market leader for sandals and casual shoes
“Scholl leh, at least rm100 one”
“but can tahan mah, and not pain one”
*
comfort is the promise
but talking about style...erm…
yet i just realized
the tagline is actually
*
Comfort with Style
*
do i really give up flip flops
and going for Scholl?
haha
so this is how my pair of Scholl looks like
*
in my view
it is the most colourful range already
it’s called Tropicana
*
not as stylish as HP
and no doggie’s paw print
aww… woof woof
*
i guess i don’t really need it for the time being
there are two pairs of yet-to-be worn
*
it’s to extinguish the “ambition” in me
in hunting for the HP flip flops
and i don’t own a pair of white sandals yet
do I? maybe…
*
moreover this can be shared with mom
we used to share one pair
pink-yellow, brandless one
imitation of Crocs design
which lasted more than 6 months
*
on that day itself
after lunch
i tidied up all the shoes at home
took me whole afternoon
although all this while
i thought i wasn’t really a shoe buyer
*
the problem is i have been wearing
the few pairs over and over again
most of the time flip flops
the rest were abandoned just like that
especially most of the covered shoes
they were meant to please my mom
she doesn’t like me to
wear flip flops all the time
*
from here
*
my sports collection
hey i thought i am not really a sport person
*
but i gonna continue my mission
on the white sneakers collection
Puma from India
HK is the next stop, hehe
*
finally
everything done
it can last me for a month
without repeating the same shoes
*
i was motivated by G-fun
from her lookbook
look at the shoes tower of her
sifu sifu salute her
*
yet most of the time
she was wearing that pair of
transparent Converse
that’s the problem with shopaholic
when i am wearing flip flops
over and over again
i have the illusion that i have
very very few pair of proper shoes
just flip flops
*
