A Replacement to Writing? 2005/2006

Those Croc shoes

My retail counter at Suntec was situated almost exactly where it was exactly a year before - in front of the escalator.
Last year there were pretty boys to look at because of the AMEX roadshow.

This year I stared at a pushcart selling those Croc shoes.

My colleague/friend, Ariel, stood by me today and mummured, "I don't believe that we have to look at those shoes..."
I nodded furiously.
She said, "My friend, a cook (or something like that), tells me that it was modeled after those shoes people wear in the kitchen. Shoes that are easy to wash - can just soak in hot water and that's it - after an oily, wet and messy day in the kitchen."

They look cute when they are small and on toddlers' feet.

I witnessed a girl trying them on. First reaction: HAHAHA! What the heck is she doing?! Kitchen shoes! HAHAHA!
2nd reaction: SHE LOOKS GOOD IN THEM.

Mindset before above scene: They'll never be in fashion. I'll never like them. Ever.
Mindset after above scene: They'll never be in fashion. Well... actually they don't look so bad. When they are small. *looks at feet* My feet are small.

Somebody please buy all those shoes and get them away from my sight.
