My passion for shoes

3 years ago if you told me that I would be a shoe fanatic one day, I wouldn't have believed you. In fact, I probably wouldn't give a second thought to it. I mean, seriously. Shoes? They're just stuff you use to protect your feet! That's it! Or at most, you wear it to complement what you're wearing...whether it's a dress or an outfit or whatever. But now, shoes are the main focus of my life.

How did it start, this craze of mine anyway? Let's see. I think it's my housemate. It probably is come to think of it. She has this obsession for shoes that I never really did understand but since she liked it, what the heck. Soon, I began to realise that her shoes are really pretty...and since she has the same shoe size as mine, that basically means I get to steal some of them occasionally. That was when I got hooked.

I've been back to Malaysia for 2 weeks, and I've bought 7 pairs of shoes. I have 4 new pairs in Melbourne waiting for me when I go back as well. That makes a whopping 11 new pairs of shoes in about one and a half months. My excuse? They're all pretty. They're all different. They're cute. They make me feel happy.

Some of you are probably rolling your eyes and saying that this girl has a pathetic life. Poor little girl with nothing else to keep her company except her shoes. Perhapsfully so. But who cares as long as I'm satisfied with myself? Hm...there's that pink and beige pair in Nine West that I don't own yet...

The list goes on.
