My Only Weltanschauung

A mind is a room. A clutter of things. A trompe l'oeil door. Some scribblings on the wall. A wall with cracks where one look inside to see, just for a bit, what was left and what is waiting.

Rabbits for May

Thanks to Michele for the feature on Spotted! at Culturepush!


Shoes don't last long with me; even the sturdiest pair lasts only about 6 months, max. For those that I wear to work, 3 months tops. Not surprising, considering I pretty much run in them after buses on a daily basis.

I'm referring specifically to ladies' shoes, of course. My Adidas and New Balance sports shoes are currently competing for the Most Dust Gathered Award. I think I'm better off building thigh muscles in stilettos instead.

It's with much disappointment that I realise that the shoes sold here are in such limited colours. Everywhere I go, it's red, black or white. Being able to 'promote' to 4 inch heels lately, I was ready to reward myself by getting a pair of nice yellow heels but alas! I could not find any along the stretch of Orchard Road. The ones at Louis Vuitton is obviously out of the question, unless anyone feels nice enough to buy me a pair for my birthday. Which I doubt.

So while staring at my spanking new white shoes, I decided to doodle some florals on them since well, white is so damn boring. Especially when one owns over 10 pairs of white shoes, it's ten times the boredom. 2 months later, whether by luck or Mysterious Forces of the Universe, I'm currently customizing shoe designs over at Hide & Seek, thanks to shop owner Keith.

Hide & Seek is located at 22B/C Hongkong Street, across from Central Mall.
