In Loving Memory

Today, my black shoes just "died", or "chui-ed", as I'll call it. A huge chunk of the sole from the left shoe broke off.

Well, the soles were showing cracks for the past month. I just didn't expect it to "chui" so soon. Besides, it's extremely difficult for people of my feet size (around 13) to get shoes, when the largest shoe size most Singapore shoe shops carry is 12.

Anyway, I'm not doing a Lin-Dai-Yu-burrying-flowers here.

It's just that this the very pair of shoe followed me through some of the most significant events of my life for the past year.

I wore it when I was reliefing for the first time, my award presentation ceremony, all the way through the significant events in hall that I was involved in, till now - likely, the last time I'm reliefing at this place.

Guess it had closure even before me.

In loving memory, of the pair of black shoes that went through significant events of my life.
