Walking Shoes


Because of my coming Japan trip, I have been hunting for a pair of suitable walking shoes (sneaker, to be exact). SO and I went to Queensway shopping center, but I could not find a pair that I liked. Well, actually I liked one of them but they don't have it in my size - a pair of Onitsuka Tiger by Asics @ $149. See some of their range below:


Though pricey, you just feel that there's fun, colour and feminity in their design. SO could not understand why I was unable to find any other pair out of the several hundred pairs of shoes sold in Queensway. Anyway, I was looking for a fun pair of sneaker, not one that reminds me of an exercise gear!

Well, a few days later while I was walking around Lot 1, I stumbled upon GOLA shoes in World of Sports. The design was somewhat something I was looking for. More importantly, the cut was very comfy, hence I was willing to be less fussy on the colours - yeah I know, army greenish right? Anyway, it's got pink in it, so that's another redeemption factor! Hee! Personally, I feel that this colour is rather easy to match... khakis, pink, white, beige, black & purple.

I thought the shoe laces were a bit dull, hence I bought a pink one to brighten it up a little. However, I have no idea that a 54" lace would look like this on my shoe:

Yup, way too long! Some improvision is required. In the end, I just cut off the excess, used a lighted to melt the ends so that they do not fray and tie a knot at the end of it. Here's the end result:

The sneaker definitely looks brighter and sweeter! The lace... bearable, since it is not a pair of Onitsuka Tiger!

I am The Emperor

The Emperor represents structure, order and regulation - forces to balance the free-flowing, lavish abundance of the Empress. He advocates a four-square world where trains are on time, games are played by rules, and commanding officers are respected. In chaotic situations, the Emperor can indicate the need for organization. Loose ends should be tied up, and wayward elements, harnessed. In situations that are already over-controlled, he suggests the confining effect of those constraints.
