My Poor Pair of Heels

This happened sometime before Chinese New Year... I did not download my camera photos yet so I could not post this story... thought I'd share this story with you today.

I have this pair of heels, and I have not been wearing it for 1 year (due to my pregnancy). So after delivery and maternity leave, I thought I'd wear it to work one day. Well, that was the last that this pair of shoe saw sunlight...

In the office itself, one side of the sole decided to detach itself, to salvage it I took rubberbands and fastened it together. I managed to pull that off, but then the other side also decided to play the same trick.... never mind, also fastened with rubberband.

We had a department CNY makan at a club that day, and all of us made our way to the restaurant. Half way walking from the carpark to the restaurant, the strap holding my feet together decided to break too... so basically, only the rubberband was holding my feet and my shoe together. I could barely walk in that state... colleagues tried to help me but no one had extra pair of shoe so in the end I slowly dragged myself to the restaurant, and asked for more rubberbands at the restaurant.

Now, I am at the restaurant now. I need to walk back to the carpark, get into the car, and when I arrive at the office, walk from the carpark to the office lobby and take the lift to my office floor. I was seriously worried about how I was going to walk because the shoes had basicaly fallen apart, and there was no way to salvage it anymore.... After lunch, I very slowly dragged myself step by step to the carpark. Luckily a colleague drove towards me and picked me up and dropped me off at the office lobby, so I only needed to walk to the office lobby and take the lift up. Back at the office, a colleague had an additional pair of shoe to lend me so I was safe for the day. But I threw this pair of shoe right away, for causing me all the anxiety and humiliation... hahaha....

If you could not imagine how bad the state of the shoe was, fear not.. I have photos of it... hold and behold the pair of heels that made it to my blog today.....

Noticed the rubberbands holding the shoe together?
