Shoe sales are hard to resist or I don't want to resist... when almost ALL of them carry my size!

I had paid for my first purchase which I entitled for free shipping and then... I saw another two pairs I-must-buy. I supposed to pay RM 5 for second package. Later, I received a text message reminding to prepare RM 30. I thought I don't have pay shipping fee for same day order (like when I was in US) but Ta-Q-Bin asked for RM 35 COD.

So yeah, I still paid RM 5 for second package :(

First package when everybody went out and GDex left me a sorry note. Second package, which delivered by Ta-Q-Bin was lucky to came in late afternoon, we were back that time. GDex came again the next day, they gave me a ring but I was sleeping like a dead zombie so I didn't pick up the call, good, second sorry note. I can't wait until Monday to get my stuff so I went to their office Saturday morning to pick up by myself.

Finally, I can do a group photo for new shoes.

Trying out my new babies...

Lame excuses to buy so many shoes in one go:

(to prove that I am not crazy)

Dolce Soles Heels with buckles in Bright Pink (Candy color addict's pick)

Chunky heels!!! Buy!!! I saw a blue/pink version of this shoes but I didn't click. It disappeared when I return to that page but bright pink is just fine for me since I don't really care about the color. So long as they are chunky xD

Dolce Soles Criss Cross Embellished Stilettos in Light Gold

Gold!!! Color does matter, occasionally.

Dolce Soles Platform Wedges With Gold Piping in Black

I don't know why I keep buying wedges shoes...

Dolce Soles Patent Ribbon Ballerina Flats in Light Green

It says light green in product details, looks mint blue in display pic but the real stuff is between blue-green that I call turquoise, the mermaid color. Since I cannot buy turquoise jeans, I bought shoes instead. I'm so in love with everything pastel recently.

Not-a-lame-excuse: Zalora shoes have *REAL* money-worthy buys.

Dolce Soles is Zalora mid-priced shoe line (below RM 100 picks) so I don't expect genuine leather kind of stuff, at least they are all good quality.

RM 15-20 a pair during UP TO 70% sales is totally a *STEAL*!!!

I'm glad I subscript to their newsletter, always keep me posted on goof deal!

However, I have a major headache below...

One of the BIG shoe box which is so precious for my pink chunky heels got damaged in delivery. Totally ruined (flat out) and impossible to repair. Okay, shitty things happen, call it pros and cons of online shopping. This kind of boxes are so rare I wonder if I will ever found a replacement .

PS. I like them in boxes with pictures and staked up. Please handle them with care.

I received an interesting email asking a probing question:

 

Where Are You Planning to Travel to Next???

WHAT?!

Weekend is time to reflects!

My bestie has been bugging me a lot for a while to go Seattle with her (JUST for Pike Market Starbucks), and then she has Seoul, Medan, Japan... the b.list goes on.

On the other hand, topping my list are Taiwan/China.

Just like Irish diaspora visiting Ireland on tailored heritage tours, Chinese descendants (especially those from older generations) will make sure they save enough money to do a trip like that at least once in their lifetime.

s

Sounds like a pilgrimage, isn't it?

 

What I want is a journey like my grandparents and parents had done. It just soup dumplings (xiao long bao) the Originals are summoning me to go Shanghai...

 

As usual, foods are my major weakness -.-

 

I read about the Famine from Potato People so I went to Ireland, for Fish and Chips and Guinness and stews.

 

Below are non-originals, but decent weekly fix 

Places that fascinate me? Senegal, Alps and Turkey

By the way, I am failed Chinese descendant, even the friend from Spain got the earthquake news faster than I.

PS. Our main earth-shaking concerns are those hit that Indonesia. China is too far to be a threat xD

The main purpose of this Thailand trip is actually to celebrate Songkran Festival, the Thai New Year. I have always been fascinated by the idea of throwing water at random strangers on the street when I heard friends talking about it. My first experience in photos below...

Nothing much about the first day. Departed at 5 a.m, finally dozed off in the crowded van that I paid 100% fee when I only got 70% of the seat. Being sardinized, I was grumpy the whole journey I cursed so much silently for I didn't want to be the only one who talks too much, nobody else was complaining, anyways. Furthermore, I have been told to bear with the festival situation.

 

I used to traveled in a van with 20 persons to get back to the hostel after class (highest record) while I was studying in Parit Raja but at least that was for the mere 3 or 4 km. Imagine being stuck in a van with 13 persons including the driver for HOURS!!! In term of safety, is this even allowed on the road?! I know you want to make more money but it is just not right to sacrifice your customers comfort and safety!

 

Luckily Tesco was there to save the day: Junk food shopping (Works on carb addicts at least)

Chicken leg tendon and deep fried pork leg were some best food I had! First time eating and I am already soooo addicted to these two dishes I might go back for more.

And oh, lastly, a selfie of OOTD~~~

I am going to Thailand, finally! It is very unusual for a Northern Malaysia for never visited Hadyai during her 25 years on Earth and I am one of them! Since I am visiting during Songkran Festival, the Thai New Year, I packed all quick-dryings and bikinis xD

Also my Olympus Tough camera and Sony Xperia V. Time to show off my waterproof gadgets.

P/S Because all my previous hand phones was damaged by water :/
