You know how different road surfaces means different sole is needed? That means, every-time you go jogging, walking or running, well maybe crawling for some, it means you need to wear the correct shoes accordingly.
Or what about changing your favorite shoe because your soles are worn out? It's a troublesome thing isn't it? Not wanting to change your shoe because you like it so much.
Well, here's the deal. Introducing the all-new (not out on market yet as far as I know it) customizable shoes. Just change the detachable sole and you're good to go. I don't think any shoes/footwear company would want to adopt this idea though - it means less sales for them.
Looking for a new shoe is so difficult, you find the design, the color, the size, the comfort, the anything-else-which-fit-in.
Oh well, companies these days aren't brave enough to try out new things. Looks like we'll have to wait quite a while before it actually comes true.
This year's AFA wasn't as good as expected. The first was good, last year's was better. But this year, a little horrible. An entry pass of $8 isn't worth it.
Prices of ticket: 2008 - One day pass, $5 Two day pass, $8 2009 - Student price, should be $15 for both days. 2010 - One day pass, $8 One day pass + stage access, $15.
Seriously, the $7 extra isn't worth it.
This year, there were less figures on display than the previous years. I ended up going for 1 day. Expensive, and not worth. This year, there were more foreigners that came to the event that previous years. This year's event probably left a bad impression on them.
However, it isn't all bad. The organizing committee booked a hall specially for cosplayers. Maybe that's why our tickets this year was very expensive. There were quite a few exclusives which I wanted to get my hands on but couldn't. /me OTL
More to come...

Holidays (Part 1)
It's labelled part 1 in case of a part 2 :D
It's finally holidays again, a period where I start rotting again. Because it's the holidays, my sleeping times have been adjusted to whenever-I-feel-like-sleeping. It can go from 0400 to 1400 hours, or even 0600 to 1500 hours. It's amazing how adaptable the human body is.
And, holidays is the only time when I can stay awake in the morning and sleep through the afternoon. Because of this, I can enjoy the early morning scenery I wouldn't have normally seen. However, today's morning wasn't that good. Either I need new glasses or the PSI for today is a little bad (but acceptable on the scale), and I'm sure it's the latter.
As usual, I like to see small kids going to school - it reminds me of the good olden days. I realized something about school kids these days after observing them.
1) They look like turtles. Yes, turtles. Their bags are filled with so much books. With the ever changing and increasing workload, one day they'll be bring luggages to school. The bags are so heavy, they put so much strain on them. You could see the bag sagging as if there was a bomb in it. Gravity ain't helping them either. Guess it's time we move to next-gen education where students do more learning through the use of a computer. It's pretty common over the horizon, but uncommon here (in primary schools). Singapore needs to move from the medieval ages.
2) They are lazy, real lazy. They drag their feet while walking. Are those legs so heavy that you can't even lift them up properly to walk? Who knows, next time they'll be sitting in wheelchairs instead of walking because they're plain lazy.
- I could say the same for myself; lazy to even blog.
3) Snails. They walk so fast, I can fall asleep looking at them. I'm pretty sure those walking zombies haven't been sleeping well. Their load (weight of their bags), isn't helping but making it worse.
"With the rising cases of adult back pain worldwide it's no surprise that young children can experience back pain as well. Overloaded backpacks can cause back problems for children as young as elementary school age." - Now I know the reason behind my backaches.

Chain Messages
I love chain messages. Oops, I meant receiving them and not sending them. Sometimes, they are so stupid, I give myself a double facepalm. "Avoid swimming and ponds, water ghost. Do not turn your head when someone calls you. Do not pick up things from the road including money. Mind your words. Do not play musical instruments after 6.30pm. Do not play music on loudspeaker. Do not sing traditional chinese songs on a junction. If you do not send this to 9 people, there will be someone sitting on your toilet bowl while you shower, there will be someone in the mirror. You will see someone waving to you at your door. There will be someone watching television programs beside you. There will be an illusion of how you die playing non stop. Up to you to believe or not, I'm afraid so I broadcast it. PS: Do not sent back to the same person and I'm not sorry for sending it to u." I kind of edited it a little to remove the short forms and added in an extra word. Whoever finds the extra word added in will not get a prize. Please don't ask me for a prize if you can't find it. ^o^ Why couldn't these senders spell out words in full? If they got the money to spam messages, they could at least put in some effort to type them fully. So I was thinking, this message is kind of funny. "Do not sing traditional chinese songs on a junction" - So that means I can sing them anywhere else, including spooky places? "If you do not send this to 9 people" - Why 9, and not 4 or 13? 9 is a good number in Chinese depending how you interpret. "there will be someone sitting on your toilet bowl while you shower" - I have a squat type toilet bowl. So will the 'someone' squat instead? " there will be someone in the mirror" - Why of course my dear. If I don't see myself in the mirror, that would be scarier. "You will see someone waving to you at your door." - Oh, I forgot to mention the altar is facing directly to the door. It even has a player which plays recited mantras 24/7. "There will be someone watching television programs beside you." - Of course, television time means family time. My mom will probably be sitting beside me.

Singaporeans are naturally born sprinters. (Singlish filled post)
Singaporeans can run fast. When I mean fast, it's real fast.
Why do I say that? 1. They can run a few hundred meters to their car before the carpark attendant can check their cars for coupon. These scrooges could possibly be Singapore's next top sprinter. They can afford tens of thousands of dollars on a car but cannot afford to pay even a $30 fine.
Look at an example here. Apparently, only the guy's car got fine while others didn't.
"DEAR Mr X, You choose to drive a fancy car but don't tear out a 50-cent parking coupon, then refuse to pay your $30 fine, then cry foul that you're a victim of discrimination."
2. They run to free gifts faster than a ferrari. The moment these kiasu people hear there are free gifts, they would flock there like ants attracted sweet things. And I'm of them. :D
3. They 'siam' fast when there are troublesome tasks to do.
Example: Teacher: "Can someone volunteer to do -insert something here-?" Everyone: *Silence* Teacher: "If no one volunteers, I'm going to pick out." Everyone: *Prays hard they never kenna* Teacher chooses some. They: *Starts making stupid excuses* They: "Eh, I stomach pain ah, need go toilet." blah blah blah.. Teacher's face: -_- Teacher: You can complain means you feeling well la, now get going.
Example: A - "Can anyone help me carry these boxes?" A turns around. Everyone 'siam' fast fast. A turns back and realized everyone 'siam' already.
So, I was thinking. If all these people can 'run' fast, why haven't they win a medal?
