Crocs

My very first Crocs clogs!

Don't judge me. 

End of Post. 

LOL. So, I got myself my very first pair of Crocs clogs. 

Ok, why the need? Because of the suspected case of Athlete's Foot, I want to keep my feet as dry and airy as possible. (Arghh...I hate this AF thing, will have another post about it!) 

In order to still look presentable enough on Slippers/Flip Flops/Thongs, I had to shop for something nice and comfortable. 

So, I came across this Crocs website. It's got an AU website now, and it provides free delivery for purchases of $50 or more. 

I was hesitant about getting myself these 'clogs', so I ended up buying a pair of flip flops from Crocs. I thought, since Crocs' main selling point is comfort, the flip flops it makes shouldn't be too bad after all. 

But I was wrong. It cut my feet. You know the inverted 'V' shaped rubber stripes on flip flops? They cut my feet. Not only was it hurting my feet, I was also worried that the cuts and wounds would aggravate existing conditions I had on my feet. 

So, I logged back on to the website and purchased a pair of clogs! 

In the past, I had never been able to understand why would people buy something to wear that was not so aesthetically pleasing. The one I have here still looks OK *cough*, because the sole is bright red and looks kinda sporty. And it's almost the only design and colour combination that I can accept. 

It's also on sale now, AUD 50, with free delivery. Got it within 2 days, shipped from Melbourne. 

It was past 11pm that night when I made the purchase. I was feeling all exhausted and just got back from the library. I wanted a solution to the feet problem and the purchase without much hesitation really. And I only started to doubt myself a few seconds after I had finalised the purchase. 

I was worried that I wouldn't look good with clogs. I was worried about how people might perceive me. It's got a bright red sole, so its' very noticeable when I walk around in uni. I quickly googled "Crocs AND men AND fashion", and from what I gathered that night, Crocs is for old men who don't care about their appearance, who have basically 'given up' on making themselves look good! 

How scary! And an Instagram search with #Crocs also did not return results of hot guys pictured with Crocs. 

Anyway, I wore it to uni yesterday. I think it was alright. I didn't get stares. 

Would you wear it? What do you think? *don't be too honest pls*

    Personally, I won't and will never wear Crocs even if it's free. Hahaha... I just don't like it. It used to be a hype in Malaysia when it first started and there were imitations in 'pasar malam'. Oh yeah! There were few cases reported in the newspaper where some got tripped over and the worst case was the shoes got stuck in the escalator of a shopping mall. I have forgotten whether that person got his leg stuck inside too or what or whether he is safe in the end because it was years ago.

      lol...You should really try Calvin it's very comfortable. We always talk about how straight people are unwilling to really see beyond the misconceptions and stereotypes towards us. So i guess unless we ourselves are able to practice that, we can't really demand that to happen from others.

      Give Crocs a chance. And most importantly don't despise us who wear Crocs. Hahaha

      And in case you are attending the event (the pink thing), you want to wear something that Distinguishes you from the crowd. lol

    I too will never wear any crocs products. It's just not stylish at any level to me. It was even within top5 of the fashion crimes of shoes!

    In terms of comfort, there are many other brands that promise comfort as well. I personally prefer a birkenstock as it is comfy and with its latest design being trendy and to top it all, it provides foot health.

    And what Calvin is true. There are some shopping malls that put up signs to be careful on the escalators due wearing Crocs shoes.

    It's just a big no-no for me :P

The "Emergency Contact"

Got a letter from the insurance company this morning, confirming that my conditions are not 'pre-existing'. Glad that they are willing to pay for my colonoscopy and endoscopy (with an 'excess' of $500, which means I would have to pay for the first $500 in a calendar year for any claims I make).  I called the clinic quickly to make an appointment for the procedures. The earliest they have is this Wednesday, so I will be 'admitted' this Wednesday afternoon.  The lady over the phone said that I must arrange for someone to bring me home after the procedure because I will be sedated (as opposed to anaesthesia) and under NSW laws it is a requirement that I go home accompanied.  I can't think of anyone really. No family, no friends, no one, just me alone. I told her I have no one that I can ask. I wondered what she thought, poor kid maybe. Fortunately, there is a specialised cab service that I can hire to escort me home.  Then, there was the pre-admi...

My Progress So Far

In my previous post, I made a list of the things that I wanted to do, in order for me to start thinking and feeling positively. I have moved into this brand new studio apartment. I have also been cooking up a storm. I could now simply heat up my food when I get home from work, without having to rely on expensive take-away meals. However, I haven't been able to tick off items 3-5 yet. The apartment could be tidier. I have no one to invite over for meals. And lastly, item number 5, I don't think it will ever happen. Couple of weeks ago, after moving in, I texted Jay. I asked if it was possible to have a conversation. I told him I wasn't being emotional, I simply wanted to talk. He declined. And my last text to him was: "I have given you 10 months". Recently, on Facebook, I discovered videos made by a lady called Xandra Ooi which I found highly helpful and inspirational. She would end each video with ".... be happy, always". Her ideas made tota...

Life Too Gay

Secret Santa. Christmas gift 2013 to one of my housemates.  Had a test yesterday.  Went to the nearby Myer department store to look for a gift for the Secret Santa event at my accommodation. Budget was $10. Saw a lot of cute little inventions, most of them averaged around $20. Could have gotten something within budget but it wouldn't be as interesting so I decided to get this little duckling infuser. It's sightly over budget ($15) but it's worth the while because I think he likes it! (I think he still doesn't know that it's from me, he's also gay by the way) Gay much?  I got a box of chocolates, an assortment of mini mars bars, milky way, M&Ms, etc. To be honest, I didn't like it! I have been trying to avoid chocolates, so that I don't have to take in unnecessary calories. My chocolate quota is reserved for really down moments, when I really need to up my mood. But I still put up a smile la, my secret santa must be looking at me when I unw...
