They say that girls are crazy over bags and shoes....I always wondered when will that hit me? Diamonds will probably take a much longer time.

Till the very day when I was in KL Megamall, finally found a shoe to my liking,( i could go on and on how DIFFICULT it is for me to find shoes that i like, i am very very picky, it has to be flats if possible, low heels, no back and yet it must look nice, my frens were saying, its hard to find a shoe like that and YET look nice, but i am adamant, so all my shoes have the same pattern, like when one breaks, i would buy another similar one to replace it, subconciously, boring i know, so i always wear few limited flattie shoes)

Back to finding that shoes in KL,they didnt have the colour i wanted but they have the other colours..so i was thinking,,,,let me think about it.....so for the next 2 hrs when i was combing the mall, the buy or not to buy question was nagging at the back of my head. Till i finally decided i wanted to get them, went back to the shop, the sales assistant HAD to tell me that there was NO MORE STOCK! I was like, wat do u mean?!?!@!@&!*^@(^$*!^(^(%^%@&^(*^^&)(*(((!@!@@ i was here 2 hrs ago, wearing that pair of shoes and i wanted to buy it!!!!!!!! After much disbelief and really pissed off at myself, I left that freaking shop, and on the whole 6hr coach ride back to Singapore, i was still cursing myself and argh never forgave myself. Its weird isnt it, but the more i think of it, the more i want it.

When I was shopping in Sg, I just casually looked at shoe shops hoping to find that shoe that i was by now obsessed with.....and there was this instant where i found the subsidary shop under a different name of that same shoe shop in KL, my heart gave a little leap! They have that colour combi in the entire shop, and not the shoe...Sad... :( and i didnt ask...

That was 1 month ago...and during this period i still thought about my shoe and even described/drew it out for my galfriends on one dinner. Then yday my friend, GSY smsed me saying that she saw something similar at this shoe shop yday at suntec and so again i was anxious to find it out...could it be DA ONE?!!! Went to Suntec found the shop, and found that somewhat similar shop but ITS NOT WHAT I WANT!!!

Oh well...walked along City link, as I was going to pass by the subsidary shop again, popped in, like who knows right? But sorry they dont have it on display, and finally i cant take it any more, and ASKED! Whether they have this design with the zip instead,,,,::" Oh its OUT of STOCK! a couple of months ago" " Is it 3999? we have a damaged pair, let us try other outlets" " Yup they have it at Harbour Front" I was like crossing my fingers the entire time when the 2 sales assistants had this dialogue.....ahhhh cant believe how happy i was!!!

Then I went to Raffles City to find Ceci as we are going to the Air Supply Concert later ( me with my mum) and she was queuing for the ohmygawdfreakingcrowded MANGO sale....( side note: its even a culture shock for me, to see PILES and PILES of clothes, messed up on the displays and the FLOORS, girls trying on clothes/skirts/shirts, over their exisiting ones...freaking scary!! and its not like its FREE, they still cost quite some monies u know!)..

In the end, I snapped, stopped thinking, decided to let my heart take over, left the sale and told ceci that i am going to cab to Harbour Front and get the shoes, and i had only 1 hr before my Air Supply Concert, wat the heck! Its now or never, i cant wait any longer.

And the rest is history, bough 2 colours of the same pattern that i wanted and 2 other pairs of shoes....am one satisfied individual, and as i explained to the cashier, i normally dont do this, its really hard for me to buy shoes you know...If i could apply this kind of persistance in the other areas in my life, wonder how different would i end up,,,,probably very screwed,, :)
