Bootylicious

Shoes. The bane of my ugly feet's existence. Ugly feet that cringe at the sight and feel of most thin widthed heels. 
Not to mention a naturally ungraceful pair of legs attached to those feet. 

But shoes are... A necessity nonetheless. Especially for a wannabe fashionista. 
So I try. Walking into random shoe stores to find something that's both comfortable yet stylish. 

My friends always ask me how I wear shoes that are uncomfortable.The answer is... I don't! They just look uncomfortable. Haha!

And the one type of shoes that I can always wear to an event and not scream for pain at the end of the night is...

Boots. 

 Boots with chunky heels. 


No heel.


Skinny heels that aren't more than 2 inches high.  

Anklets. Knee high. Thigh high. Try them all out to see what goes best with your figure/ wardrobe. 

Boots are SUPER comfy. 
The material wraps around our ankles, giving up better support and alignment for the entire foot and leg. 

I trip less when I wear boots, so that should say something.

But there are some nowayinhellyoushouldwear'em kinda boots, even though they're comfy. 


Shiny gogo boots. Unless its halloween and ur dressing up as Barbie.


Yeeha! boots. Not in Malaysia anyway. Only ahlians wear 'em. 


Chunky. Cos you're trying to be a fashionista. Not a hiking hoe. 


And... Ugg boots. 'Nuff said. Unless you're living in a country that needs that kinda layering. 

Boots nowadays are so cheap! I remember wanting to own a pair since I was 13, but the cheapest pair I saw that didn't make me cringe was more than RM400. And this was more than a decade ago. 

Now boots can be found in pasar malams for RM30. And nice boots they are, mind you! 

Will you be a bootaholic too? ;)

from the suburbs

I never knew how much of a life I had till I lost it all. Haha. Did that sound as narsy to you as it did to me? 

My new colleagues are my new 'friends'. Not that that means much right now. 
Everyone does their own thing. They are so busy, that they are afraid once they become approachable to one person, it opens the doorways for people to ask for help all the time. 

I get it. I know why you feel the need to be stingy with your time. But it doesn't make it any easier to go through my time here for now. 

I told myself, I would be different. Because of that, in the short span of one month of me joining, I find myself in charge of 2 projects, running haggard for my business unit, and also doing backup for one more colleague. 

A 12 hour working day average is pretty standard for now. 

Thank God for a new manager who helped to straighten the mess I was in. 

And yet. It felt wonderful. I have a purpose. Something to work for in MY life. Not someone else's.

I gave up talent managing. Well... help out once in a while, but mainly given up. Where do I find the time for it? 

And writing... I've stopped for some months. But I want, no, need, to pick it up again soon. 

The joy of writing... It right up there along with wearing something nice and feeling confident throughout the day, and doodling in my sketch book despite my lack of drawing skills. 

I dream of being an international writer one day. One who lives in a suburbian town in Australia/ any European English speaking country, with a husband and kids, and travel around the world from time to time, writing of events in a way that provides an influence no one else can. 


One can dream, can't she? 

I miss you. You, the reader, and you, the friends. 

I'm looking for more time. To blog, to catch up with real people again. 
For now, this is enough.

Think well of me, won't you?
