High Heels

-
Whenever I hear the words high heels, two words come to mind: pretty but painful.

High heels are nice shoes. They come in a variety of colours and they vary in design as well. They can even make the wearer look taller, which is always nice. However, walking in high heels sounds like torture to me. 

I have tried walking in them before, and I felt like I was going to fall over. I kept walking in an awkward and unflattering way. The worst part? My toes felt a bit squashed up in the shoe, which is normal! I'm sure walking around in heels for a long period of time will be a painful affair.

That's why I try my best to avoid wearing high heels as much as possible. So, imagine my reaction when I learned I have to wear heels from 8am until 4pm, next Monday and Tuesday!

The reason why I have to do so, is due to my college's Orientation Programme. I have to show up in formal attire: a blouse/dress with long sleeves, a below knee-length skirt and court shoes.

Court shoes are plain high heels, which may be black or white. 

Since mummy doesn't have any court shoes, we had to buy a pair. 

We went to several shoes shops, such as Vincci and Nose, at a shopping mall to find a pair. There were not many pairs of court shoes, but the few that we found were expensive. There were pairs that were RM200! 

After browsing at several shops, mummy and I decided on this pair at Vincci.
THE ONE!
The high heels that we chose were nice. They were black, which is easy to match with clothing, and the heels were not too high. I could walk in them without struggling too much. So, we bought it at RM79.

To be fair, mummy and I were being silly. We thought that since court shoes were plain high heels, it would be much cheaper, compared to other high heels. We thought that the price range would be RM50-RM60. At the end of the day, money is still needed to produce court shoes.

Once we bought the shoes, we were tired. We stopped for coffee and cakes, before running some errands. After that, we went home.

I am not looking forward to next Monday. I can't believe I will have to wear high heels for 8 hours!

YMCA Street Feeding- Day 3

-
Today was my second time volunteering at YMCA. I did the same thing as the last time, helping to prepare and serve the food, but I had new experiences which led to more observations. I sang a song! This was something new for me, as I am normally not comfortable singing in front of others. However, as I was serving the food, I was suddenly asked by the music team whether I wanted to sing a song. I think they were running out of songs to sing, as I was pressured into singing a song. I was panicking, and the only song that I could remember clearly was Jesus Loves Me, as I recently sang that. Even though it was a Sunday School song, and I thought that I would be laughed at for singing such a simple song, it was surprisingly well received. I could see smiles on the street people's faces, and some of them were even singing along. I could see that all of them enjoyed it. Sadly, I could not think of any other songs once I was done, so I got back to serving the food. This experience

Temptations

After college today, my mummy, sister and I had a chat. We talked about how am I settling into college, how was my day and how were my classes like. Then, we talked about something interesting for me. During lunch today, some of my classmates invited me to join them for lunch at a nearby shopping centre. This will require us to leave campus, which is allowed. However, I had books to buy and other things to do, so I turned down the offer. My mummy and sister told me that I should never join them on these kind of outings. Once I start, I may start having bad habits, such as skipping class or not studying hard. Then, I will fail my exams or not get good results, resulting in a waste of a year. They say that I should not put myself in temptation. Mummy even let me use her as an excuse. This means I can just tell my classmates my mother does not let me leave campus, and she is strict about this rule. It sounds like as if my mummy and sister are trying to be controlling, not lett

Malaysian Studies

It's currently 11:22pm. It's late, and I need to finish this post so that I can go to bed. Today has been tiring. Normally, Saturday would be an easy day. It would be a day spent on catching up on my work from college. However, I had to go to college. I had extra classes for, out of all of my subjects, Malaysian Studies, which is basically Malaysian History. It's one of the subjects that I have to pass, which is stressful for me. Classes started at 9am, and ended at 3pm, with a lunch break. Surprisingly, it wasn't too boring. We studied the Portuguese Colonisation of Malacca, the British Colonisation of Penang and Singapore and the reasons why they did so. It was interesting to learn, but the malay names were a bit confusing for me. I was also cold and sneezed a lot, which I think is due to Mummy passing her flu germs to me. This did not help me to focus on the lesson. Our lecturer also has the tendency to suddenly use malay phrases when she's teaching. Luck
