Another Shoe Story
I braved the Orchard Road Christmas period evening rush the other day, in a car nonetheless! Was raining cats and dogs too. I drove, with hubby beside me giving instructions and gripping the seat at the same time.
Purpose: To buy a new pair of Birkenstocks.
Parked at the HDB parking behind Wheelock Place and walked through puddles in the rain to Wheelock, soaking my shoes in the process. The Birkenstock boutique was quite quiet, so had a good look at all the shoes on display. As luck would have it, the ones I had my eye on were all out of my size. Darn it.
We got hungry, and went to Shashlik restaurant for dinner for an early Christmas celebration. The Shashlik lamb that night was exceptionally nice. After stuffing ourselves with food we left the place full and happy.
Today, I wore the same pair of shoes again as it had dried out. When I had reached my office, felt the breeze on the sides of my foot, which was suppose to be covered by my shoes. Looked down, and saw that the glue sealing the sides of the shoe had come off after the good soaking the other day! I have now glued it back with some contact adhesive, but don’t think it can last very long.
