Kill-Her Heels

Nope, actually not all heels are killers. Some not-so-scarily-high ones are actually bearable for SOME PEOPLE. But for me, too bad, as long as each of my heels is supported by a surface area smaller than a 10cent coin and is constantly more than 1cm-or-more above the ground, THAT'S IT.

Today, I had no choice but to wear my new heels. Bought them because when I set my eyes on them and tried them on the other time, I thought, "Alas! I found the heels made just for me! Finally a pair that doesn't kill."

Apparently I underestimated them. I wonder how I managed to smile at my colleagues-to-be-for-10-weeks when I was actually screaming for dear life inside. Many times I felt like going on my knees and begging them to finish me off there and then because I reckoned getting killed by a human being is at least better than being murdered by a non-living thing.

YES, it was that bad.

Have you had those times when the pain reaches such an excruciating level that you don't feel anything anymore? Yup, I guess the magical moment came when I was on my way home. Suddenly, I just started to feel ok.

Afterall, dressing up and being pretty is above all else in the world. Right?

Right 个屁!

After a few minutes (Ok fine, I'm lying. It's actually only a mere few seconds.), my poise started to crumble and I resumed my walking-duck-stance, realising that the past few seconds was just me trying to disillusion myself.

There and then, I decided, I'll NEVER ever ever be able to find a pair of heels made for me. Or rather, I'm just not made for heels.

So I decided to swear off heels for the rest of my life. Self-deceit always has to stop after some time.

Flip-flops please! Or volleyball shoes! Or just being shoe-less is fine too! (FWAH, rhymes!) Eh.. there was once when I really buei tahan and took off my heels and walked about 500m home. Hanah hanah, I'm La Sup anyway!

Moral of the story: Be true to yourself. For me, it's better flip-flopping around in flip-flops with seh THAN walking like a dying-duck-quacking-SAVE-ME in pretty shoes.
