Love Affairs with my shoes

Some of you may think that I am mad but I seriously LOVE shoes. It has almost become an obsession as I started to feel upset when I do not have space for my lovely shoes (and bags) and the worst part is, I can't buy any shoes!! How bad can that get??!??! Gosssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh!

Last weekend when I brought my laundry over to my mummy's place (I can't operate the washing machine for christ's sake and don't intend to learn till I get my own place), I saw rows and rows of my shoe boxes (of course with my shoes inside!) and I can't explain how happy and relieved I felt! I know it sounds crazy and I felt crazy for feeling this way! All of a sudden it felt like I can feel that I have shoes again! Many many many pairs of shoes!!!

Well, I know it's not like I don't have any shoes right now, just that I can't 'see' them! With the constraint of space, I gotta hid my beautiful shoes in their boxes and in my empty luggages and as time goes by, I started to forget about their existence and kept thinking that I don't have shoes to wear :(

I have this particular pair of beautiful suede peep-toe boots in soft lovely grey from Jimmy Choo that I can't bear to wear as I do not have an area to place and air it properly as I don't want it to end up all stinky in the boxes. Can you imagine that I love it so much that I can't bear to wear without a proper storage place?? Well, I love all my other Choos as well but this pair is amazingly soft and comfy!

Nowadays, I keep on wearing my fluffy slip-on heels for work as this pair of shoes make me feel casual and lazy as it's my 'lowest' pair of heels (so if anyone of you sees me in this pair of heels, it's my lazy day) and I seriously need to buy another pair to keep soon as I can sense that it's going to fail me soon.

How I wish I can have my own little nest ASAP so that all my beloved shoes (bags and clothes) will get their own little "home".

Breakfast @ Riders Cafe

BB and I finally had breakfast at the much coveted Riders Cafe on a bright bright sunday morning. Well, this place is so popular that when I make a reservation on Tuesday, they only have the 830am and 2pm slot vacant. Isn't that MADNESS? (Please note that it's at a very ulu place in Bukit timah)

Well, I personally think I am a little mad too. To wake up at 730am on a Sunday morning (I don't even wake up this early for work) to go to an ulu place for breakfast. Oh well, I'll just take it that I need fresh air once in a while after I confirmed the reservation in a spur of the moment.

The ambience wasn't too bad and there are quite a few tables filled when I arrived. I thought I was real early but apparently there are some people that are even earlier. Madness.
Overall, it felt cozy but it was a tad too hot for me as the place is non-airconditioned and they probably had on 50% of the ceiling fans. The service was only so-so as they are seriously under-staffed when we arrived. The tables were soon filled and most of the customers were actually expats.

Me looking like a ghost and trying to smile with 4hours of sleep
We waited for quite a while for our breakfast and finally, it was served.

My scrambled eggs with chao ta potato

Decent pancakes

The food was alright but I dont think I will go back there again as it's too way out and I personally prefer wild honey :)

Guess it's my first and last time there.

BB playing soccer



Yes, BB played soccer last week. Some of you may think that what's the big deal for a man to play soccer right? It's a big deal, because it's my BB. Hahhaha..I've known him for coming 10 long donkey years and he had NEVER once mentioned that he played soccer or any sports that requires running for that matter. Hence, it's amazing that he actually wanna play!

Well, it's somewhat like street soccer and it's literally the ah peks vs the young pro punks. Hahaha..From one look, you know exactly which player belongs to which team.

The ah peks basically got no image aka no proper attire/shoes/socks whereby the young punks wore standard soccer attire and some with knee guards! Oomg.. Hahaha!

Well, guess my BB seriously has zero sports genes in his body aka 一点运动细胞也没有 as he look damm tired and almost out of breath after........15-20mins?? That's how 'sporty' he is.

Guess he should stick to patronizing kbox and partyworld instead :p
