Yours Truly

The day it went away...

Today is a shopping day.

Wanted to buy the usuals. Vitamin Cs, strepsils, vapour inhalent, breakfast bars blah blah yada yada. I was happily flip-floping my ways through the cold storage aisles and that was where it all begin.

Finally located the breakfast bars location, I squat down to compare the various brands, Alpen, nature valley, Uncle toby and all. Then KABABOOM!!! The moment I squat down, the slipper thingy thats squashed between my big toe and the 2nd one came right off. Now I'm essentially wearing a slipper on one foot and a skateboard on the other.

Found that I could still drag the slipper along the polished floor albeit at a slower pace. Wasnt too concern so I finished the rest of my shopping leisurely. On a side note, comparing nutironal values, uncle toby plus bars seems to the most value for money.

The slippers were dragging fine until I walked out of the building and into the sun. It was all cement, sand, grass and tarred roads from here.No way am I gonna make it through the 400m of urban jungle with a slipper drunk on gasoline.

I stood there for a moment comtemplating my choices. I can either sit down and cry like a baby would do or go back in and buy another 3 pairs of shoes and maybe some clothes like a woman would do. Or I can be myself and just walk barefoot home.

So I crossed two roads, an unused expanse of grassland, walked two hdb blocks and now I'm home.

Moral of the story? Shit happens so suck it up and pretend that no one is laughing at you.
