Shoes Are Just So Pretty

Edit:

Before anything, I would like to announce that I bought a new camera!!! Wooot~! The model is Olympus FE-320 and it's pink :D Let's have a comparison between the photos taken by my new and old camera, shall we?

By Canon A430, 'my' (actually, it's my sis's) old camera.

Since I'v bought this camera, I vow that I will not buy anymore shoes for at least half a year and as much as I love shoes, I will keep my words.

Pretty, isn't it?

Now, on to the original post..

It's been a while since I last updated. I've been busy with Photo ID taking session (photography club), recruitment drives (fishing club and photography club), and well, nothing really interesting happened for me to blog about except one thing which I will not blog about until it's finally calmed down. Curious, eh?

Anyway, since I've recently bought a shoe, why not I blog about shoes then?

The latest addition to my shoe rack.

My fetish for shoes started not long ago, maybe end of last year. Before I was attacked with this unhealthy (yes it it. It burns holes in your wallet!), I have the maximum of 2 pairs of shoes. Now, whenever I go out, I'll keep my eyes open for shoes but hey, I do not buy them every time I see them, alright?

Shoes that I seldom wear- (left) need some repair and (right) worn out :(

I'm pretty picky when it comes to shoes. My second brother used to tell me, "You have men's feet. So you can only wear sports shoes or canvas shoes." and yes, I totally agree with him. My feet is kind of big and wide. All this while, I only wear sport shoes since I don't really look nice in more feminine shoes (due to my choice of dressing at that time) and I can't really walk on high shoes plus, I heard that walking on high shoes will stunt your growth. Heck, I'm short enough.

Chinese New Year 2007 shoe from my first brother.

For Chinese New Year 2008, I broke my tradition of buying Nike shoes. In stead, I bought an orange pump. I thought the design was sporty, at the same time feminine and I never took the 2 inches heel into consideration. I bought it together with my sis, Eunice, Edric and my second brother. When I asked for opinions, they did not give negative feedback so, I bought it. When I showed it to my mom, she even said it was nice :D The best part was, my dad paid me back the money I spent on the shoe with extra RM 0.10 XD

The shoe (the orange one) that broke the Chinese New Year tradition.

When I first walk on that shoe, I guess people could easily tell that I'm a beginner at such shoes since I walk so unnaturally. Just like someone who started to learn how to not to walk like a duck, if you know what I mean. There were times when the bottom of my feet would hurt when I walk in that shoe for long periods. But soon enough, I got used to all the hassles of wearing higher shoes.

I bought this so that Guat Shan could have a discount on her heels.
(And everyone said that it looked nice on me)

I remember once my ersau told me that I should appreciate being not that tall because it simple means I have the chance to wear heels. She (a really tall lady) said that some people just want to wear heels so much but they can't. And Guat Shan do not wear heels (except for a cm or 2 heels) because she said she'll look gigantic. That was when I started buying higher shoes- I'm short and heck, I need to be at least at normal height.

The shoe I suffer most when wearing.
(It cuts behind and compressed my feet!)

But then, not all my shoes are high. I do have some flats to walk comfortably when I go out, say, for vacations or long shoppings. But most of the time, my shoes are not bought for purposes, they were bought to match my clothes or simple because they looked nice on me.

Flats my kayah bought for me. Expensive >.<

In fact, we (as in my housemates and I) have so many pairs of shoe that Sito's parents bought us a 'rack' to arrange our shoes instead of just leaving them on the floor. We hang the 'rack' behind our main door and whenever there are visitors and if they notice the hanging rack (they usually do), their first word will always be, "Wahliow~!"

The part of the hanging shoe rack for my shoes only.

I guess I've spent quite a lot on shoes. And I think I really need to stop the flow of cash out of my pocket for some more shoes. But hey, sometimes, they're just so pretty and considering the fact that I'm picky when it comes to shoes, when I found a pair I think it's nice, I just can't help it!
