MCF : Those Shoes to Remember

welcome to the second episode of

Memory Case File

the first investigation about pencil cases

was a mediocre piece

because till today

i still can’t find a few pencil cases

which i thought still exist all this while

*

if you are my secondary classmate

you would have heard of this epic

on a windy morning, the sun was shining bright

the birds were chirping cheerfully on the tree

okay.. sorry

i was trying to get myself into the

secondary student mode again

*

during recess time

we were taking our own sweet times

doing own stuffs

the rules is no-one is allowed in the classroom

what a stupid rule, right

*

i ordered these two pairs of Pepsi shoes

from Sue-yin via a catalogue

tsk.. tsk..classroom shopping

was happily trying them out

till Miss Ang, the discipline teacher

appeared at at the door

and chased us out

*

somehow i was rebellious

or trying to be funny

or maybe i just didn’t have the time to change

i went out in this pair of blue sneakers

*

and went down ground floor

hanging around the corridor

till the bell rings again

you may wonder

didn’t i have to eat during recess time

won’t i go hungry

no worries

we always ate during class hour

once Sue-yin got caught

with mouthful of Mamee Monsta

*

later Miss Ang went down too

seeing me hanging around there

she shouted,

“Hey HT, would like to talk to you later

about the competition stuffs”

and she went into another classroom

where students were making loads of noise

*

stunned…

how on earth can i talk to her

in this pair of blue sneakers

so got a friend, Li Ting

to exchange shoes with me

she was wearing my pepsi

while i walked confidently in her white shoes

towards Miss Ang

*

so we had a talk

and i went back to Li Ting

to change back the shoes

thinking how smart am i

to avoid this mishap

*

while we were changing

guess who was walking towards us

and saw the whole process

Miss Ang!!!

oh no…

god saves me

*

but she was too busy

entering another classroom

to “treat” the students

and she said

“hold on, i will deal with you later”

*

i felt that my heart was shrinking

beating faster and faster

so after she treated these students

it’s my turn

maybe i will be “showcased”

in front of the whole school tomorrow

maybe i will be made to run

in my blue sneakers

thought of hundreds of possible ways

that i will be dealt with

and most importantly

Li Ting was the innocent party

i had dragged her into this

*

she took quite awhile to

treat this mischievous class

i felt i have been standing there

for ages already

why didn’t the bell

just ring and i would run back

*

so she came out of the

after-treatment classroom

with her XXL cane

all quiet

they must be staring at me right now

*

then she said

“how many times have i told

you basketballers?? ”

huh? was she talking to me?

“after training you must change your outfits

and shoes by 9am”

*

so she had mistaken me

as a basketballer

and this pair of sneakers

were my training shoes

*

haha that’s the advantage

my besties is a basketballer

and i am considered quite tall

so after all i was save

what a close shave!!

*

my pair of school shoes

hunted it for quite awhile

don’t want any Bata

and want it to be more stylish

Converse-like, from Carlton

THE CHAMPION MAKER

school shoes

*

with low wedges

shoelaces not properly tied up

this was considered trend already

         

*

my first pair of Nike

my first pair of blue

since then it is never-ending

Nike Air Havoc III        

*

the pair of Adidas Superstars

that we were so crazy about

4 pairs were walking around

among our gangs

not comfie

Adidas SS

*

not a girl

not yet a woman

high time for a pair of

proper heels

right brand

appropriate height

wrong colour

i remember i only wore it once

to my Cousin’s wedding

it had got cracks already

*

stupid shoes

that is nice to see

but not so nice when worn

too difficult to match

far too bright

but it’s not the Mary Jane series

this is way before MJ

it’s Yoga inspired

it’s knows as Refresh

and the curry stain on there.. oops
