The Pink Sandals



I joined the school's alumni event recently. Instead of writing about the event or our tasks, I am going to write about my beloved sister's pink colored 1-half inch high heels sandals. Let's get pinky ya.

I was told that we can wear anything, and I wore something usual, with the pink sandals. I didn't know we were going to do hard labour.... and after some time.. I really start to feel pain and discomfort. but work must go on, we had to continue distributing the food to the participants. I even stood barefeet once a while.. cannot tahan di.

Then, I saw one of our member's son sitting at the corner. He is about 20, looking all macho and relaxed; and there's another boy around 11, another member's son, running around and looking so... well, young! :P . They just came back after a short tour around Pisa. Something caught my attention! the 20 year old guy's slippers, wow.... the answer to my pain and agony. Then, I made a bargain.

"can we change shoes... U can take mine... haha.. you can even wear em if u want (trying to be funny), i cannot tahan la walk with this sandals"

I was expecting a horified expression but all he said was "Ok, sure" and gave me his sandals. Yahoooo... saviour!

When we were busy sorting things out, I saw him walking to other direction (washroom maybe)... wearing my sandals.... (Fyi, My feet are large size, so a medium sized guy can easily fit into my sandals). I was like... alamak... maybe emergency sampai don't mind wearing my sandals. its Pink wei...

Then after some time, we had to load a number of boxes of mineral waters into a room nearby, and he helped out... . Was he going to ask for a trade back? No he didn't, without complaining, did the job... and later continue moving around in my sandals.

Ok... I felt super guilty... so finally, I asked for a trade back. I told him my feet are no longer painful so we'd better switch before he has to go through one too :P~
Hahaha.. I don't know why I am making a big deal out of this... I just felt it was cool. Like he did not even complain, and all he said was "Ok" and "No Problem" or just smiled. I think he is Cool... good boy ;-)

For all the trouble, I said to Dr.Ooi that she owes me an insurance for my back :P~ (must be careful what u joke about) Not to be supersitious, but then, I really had come close to need one, as after we had our lunch, I tripped and fell in front of a restaurant. Sakit giler... it was not like the funny-funny fall but a FALL fall... errr...if u get what I mean. It was definitely not a good day for my back. I fell because my heels tripped on the badly maintained pathway. Again... it was the heels :P~


On our way back, Chris advised me not wear so much of high heels, since I am already tall (for Malaysian standard), so don't really need one. (oppss)

So.. after all these thing happening to me yesterday... Where are the pink sandals now?
Hihihi (blushing).... Right under my feet :P~ Huhuhu... bukan degil, but don't have other options just now, left all the flat ones in campus. For comfort, I prefer the flat ones actually, but at times, heels make me feel more err... taller?? :P To stop wearing high heels completely? huhuhu.... i dun think i could :P

Flat heels sandals are just not sexy :-(

Bulan yang mendebarkan

The busiest month of the year (well, at least for me) is approaching - DECEMBER! It's the time of the year, when I usually have list of things to be completed before stepping into another new year, and list of invitations from friends and relatives who are getting married. To top all these, are my assignments as a photographer for some of these events and my preparation to be enrolled as a student (AGAIN) :P


In the list of invitations... most of it comes from my close friends... and I won't be able to attend 2 weddings because I will be at my close relative's wedding which is quite far, in Perlis.

2 days back, Jane called for a small meet up. We were given the invitations cards and some briefing. I can't wait for the ceremony... It will be a big reunion for our batch. We have not had one since 2002 and with slightly less people last year at the alumni dinner. I was briefed on the task description and what-to-wear lists... Uwaaa... I don't have the appropriate attire yet.

Following week, will be Yef and Azah. Both their receptions on the same day. These are the 2 weddings I won't be able to attend... guilt... yes... but I will try my best to attend their groom's receptions respectively. Yef is my friend from secondary, whom I kept in touch regularly and stay close despite parted geographically. Azah was my junior in cbm but also my coursemate during masters, and we were roommates. Huhuh... I feel soo guilty... I really would love to be there on the lafaz nikah moments.

Next in line, is Emme and Nando's wedding. Okie.. they are getting married to each other so it's like 2 in 1 for me. I know Nando from Spanish class in my degree's final year (dat explains his nickname Nando) and Emme through Nando. Haha.. somehow, we cliqued instantly and has become very close thereafter. I am honored to be assigned as one of their photographers. When they gave me the invitation card, I jokingly asked "is this as your friend or a photographer" ehehhe... I hope I can do my best yaaa...

Now...wait... WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR to all these ceremonies???? HELPPP!!!!!! Wardrobe emergency alert....

Over the meet-up the other day, we talked about the "next phase" in life. Getting married?? Hehehe.. I can't stop laughing, thinking of how far we have come from the innocent (and naughty) years in cbm. The topics of our conversation are definitely different. Last time we would be saying "Euwww, why are we discussing this" if we were to talk about marriage. Look at us NOW...

Will it be as challenging as told by some? Will we be able to cope with the journey? After the interesting exchange of thougths, we concluded, it takes Will-Power, Understanding and of course L.O.V.E heheheh *deep

Tips from one of my lecturers, successful and a super-woman:
"Be smart and know how to manage your responsibilities, and most importantly set your priorities. At times, you have to be Strong in defending your priorities"

Wow... deep again.... Ok,  keep that in mind. Can be useful later in your future ;-)

And to my laply friends... who are getting married... soon (mendebarkan sungguh) Aku pulak yang berdebar-debat lebih nie.... huhuuh...

hihihi... I am so excited and happy for you peeps.

Wish you guys my BEST-EST WISHES...

ok now.. back to my problem.... WHAT TO WEAR???? Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
