I seriously don’t know what kind of luck I am having today. Everything was fine when I started out. I went to Jurong East Popular but they don’t have the book I am looking for. The kind staff said that the Popular in IMM might have that book, so I went to IMM. It turns out that the IMM Popular don’t have that book too. I got a few things that I need, a Mcflurry and boraded the shuttle bus that took me to the opposite side of the back of Jurong East Popular.
As I was crossing the road half-way, the straps on my right shoe snapped. It snapped at the side such that there is nothing that can anchor my feet in the shoe.
The nearest place where I can get a decent pair of shoes is in Jurong East Centre, where I have to walk quite a long way.
I attepted to walk with one shoe on and one shoe without, but I got so fed up in the end I took off both shoes and walked barefooted through Popular and through the linkway to Jurong East Entertainment Centre.
Now I fully appreciate the cleaniness of Singapore pavements. I walked barefooted for at least 2 kilometers and nothing happened. If this were to happen in China, I don’t know how my holes I will have in my feet by the time I reach home.
When I reached the pedestrain crossing, a cab just happened to pull up in front of me. I jumped in and got home. I paid the cab fare by NETS.
wah so suay as that….
next time its best to keep a micropore tape with u at all times.. so tat in case another case of shoe strap snap, at least u can jus tape it down till u reach a shoe shop.
oh my goodness jie you went and walked barefoot. Even in Singapore I won’t do that!! Which pair of shoes was this which snapped anyway?
It’s the white pair with the bow. The one I wore to your house on D3 gathering on Christmas Day?
