The Ancient Vault: Shoe Blues

(This post was written in 2003. It is part of the blog's one year anniversary celebration.)

AARRGHH!!!

That pretty much sums up how I feel about finding a nice pair of shoes. I didn't know it was so darn difficult to find size 12 shoes in Malaysia! Ian Thorpe wears size 17, but I don't see the Aussie walking around barefooted. Of course, he has them tailor-made and all, but it doesn't discount the fact that local shoe makers can't be bothered to "size them up".

I went to no less than 10 places that sell shoes, and yet there are no 'slip-on' shoes that have size 12. Maybe one of the criteria for me in my quest to buy shoes is that it must not cost more than RM100 - RM150. And all the conditions were so right! Nice design, nice price, but, "Sorry, sir, we don't have a size 12."

Since we were on shoes, I don't know how people can pay RM300 (US$ 79) upwards for something that they stomp on the dirty earth with. In my opinion, the most expensive I can go is around RM250 (US$ 65). A cheapskate? Maybe, but with all you can get for less than RM100, I can't seem why these people can't find something better to spend it on. Donation, upgrading your PC (RAM cost so little for so much), video games, ok, maybe video games doesn't count, but still…

While we are on the subject of my tarsus, there is a pre-conceived notion that foot size is connected to penis size. I don't know if you had heard of it, but it was proven false by scientific experiments. So readers, rest assured, I DON'T have a "monster member" to go terrorizing the whole town with.

Could you have left that part out and left us to our own devices? :P
