of shoes, and the eyebags monster

| 2 rambled back»

i know that i've not been in here for some time, but i didnt know it's been this long.

we got back from our road trip to koh samui safe and sound by the way, in case you're wondering. we cant believe we made it there and back on the bonnie cos the bonnie's more the relek cruising about town kinda bike rather than the roadtrip kinda bike. but we made it...so yeyy!

took a few video shots throughout the trip....been wanting to put them together but as you can see, i'm obviously not very on the ball on this...hahha. my dream of making an award-winning travel documentary will just have to wait i suppose :P

i've been knee-deep in work the last few weeks. very busy, but i like. my shoes are killing me with all the running around that i've been doing though. if only actual running is involved, where it's actually exercise you're doing. which i've not been doing. the exercise i mean. and thats kinda ironic cos i'm the one who brought in the fitness trainers who are stationed at the company gym to provide assistance and customised exercise programs for those who want them, and yet i've not made use of this myself.

i must get new shoes. good ones. not the cheap ones from charles and keith which have been my brand of choice the last few years cos they're cheap yet nice. they dont last long and they're really not very ergonomically friendly for the feet to be honest. so i shall pamper myself for once and get a pair of working shoes that maybe cost more than $100? hahha. the theory is that expensive shoes are comfortable - we shall just see about that shall we. and yes i've never in my life spent above $100 for working shoes...track shoes, running shoes yes....but never work/dress shoes. dont roll your eyes ah...i'm cheapo like that.

the downside to working so hard is that i do a lot more work at home now. i'm out and about so much during the day that i'm left with really not much of a choice but to bring work home. which is bad cos when i'm on d lappie at home i will always most definitely be distracted by the many online offerings...which in turn has transformed me into the eyebags monster especially since spider's not around most nights nowadays which explains why i can spend so much time online without having to deal with stuffs like sleeping.

but i'm rambling. and i must clean up so that i can catch up on my sleep.

will blog abt the samui roadtrip soon. gd nite!

i give up on charles n keith..coz they always dun seem to fit me..nampak cantik..but i end up not wearing them long :(
maybe its the shape of my feet..plus i find their soles really thin.

i think everbest makes decent not too expensive shoes tho =)

anyway, e more work i have e more i get distracted online..hahah coz hmm..work means more time on laptop..less work means more time to go out. so only distraction to take a break when i m stuck at e laptop is surfing (apart from playing with my son)

everbest..ok will check them out. am also planning to check out hush puppies. why oh why must nice-looking shoes be uncomfortable? i reckon i'll be bored stiff with the shoes on offer. but i'll keep my fingers crossed :)
