Flat Shoes Have Heels Too

So thank God I caught the bus. I got a good seat.

Still panting but relieved, it's time to take some time to think about what happened before I got there. Nah the previous nite I fell asleep thinking the next day would be uber fun - gonna take a long walk in the heart of the city. I was supposed to be in school at 10. I woke up at 9:07. I told myself to finish bathing in 10 minutes. Btw I love warm water. Dangerous. I went out from bathroom at 09:27. I got dressed as fast as possible and grabbed my stuff. I was about to wear my sandals and I realized that we're going to an office, took shoes instead. I Ran downstair and to the bus stop. As I ran I felt something wrong with my flat shoes' soles, but I had to catch the bus - I ignored it. The phone battery was full last night, it's then almost empty. The bus came just in time - and hey the soles are okay. Nice. Now enjoy the ride. Enjoy the walk.

I was about 20 meters away from school and one of the heels came off. I was like... whaaaaat --- I have to walk from Chinatown to and around City Hall todayy!!! --- But never mind. Let's just find another seat in school to sit down and think about what should be done next. Takut nih mo ketemu cici dosen. Hiiii. Hiiiiiiiii.

Hiiiiiiiiiii.

Eh. And I realized I couldn't take photos with empty battery. I switched my phone off hoping it would function later.

Me, the kid, and Cherlin took part in a competition and we went to school to get our entry forms signed by a lecturer. Seram. Thank God it wasn't as scary as I thought. Ahahaha. Then we had to submit them to a building somewhere in Chinatown - then we're gonna walk to Boat Quay area - the kid and Cherlin had to take some pictures of SG landmarks, of course I ikuttt City Hall gitu.

About the shoes, I actually have an issue with them. Several (very) unpleasant experiences so far - the soles - the straps - shoes - sandals, that's why I always bring tapes wherever I go in case of emergency. I unusually didn't bring it that day.

I was convinced that the shoes would survive the long march. So let's go.

Chinatown. A whole new world.

Cherlin brought her guide book. Connie printed the maps. I was busy taking pictures. The office's found.

Btw my phone camera, amazingly, performed very well. Ahahaha. Thanks God. I managed to take more photos than expected. When the battery was eventually too low, the kid lent me her ... phone camera. Ahahaha.

I am very comfortable with the extremely practical device.

After submitting the entries we continued walking - and found this place with exceptionally sophisticated ambience.

Wuoowww I forget what road it was - I remember the atmosphere. It felt like New York a little, Ahahaha. And there, in the midst of urbanity, the other heel came off.

Aiyo. My literally flat shoes. Prayed hard they would survive. Keep walkin'. Keep walkin'.

Ohow. Was that..? No? Okay..

And yay. We had landed on vein of the island.

Kyaaa. The lamp.

Wuah they had started preparing F1 already?

That day was funny. Things happened.

That day was amazing. God beat all those obstacles.

The form was approved, the entry was submitted.

We had a great stroll, we burned a lot.

We took "miracle" photos. We ate Prata. Loh?

The shoes made it home. I arrived safely with shoes on both feet.
