shoes to girls are like..

We were walking up the road to his house after the rain, and we were met by a shallow puddle.

Me: "Hati-hati Ri. Nanti sepatu baru kamu basah."

Him: "Ha? Lah emang supaya kaki kita yang ga basah kan Yu?"

Well, he's right. Unfortunately, most of us women might probably think the other way. We try to keep our pwettie wittle shoes out of the rain, out of the dust and out of anything that would probably spoil the beauty of our shoes - when in fact, shoes are truly made to keep our feet clean by having the rain and dust stuck to them. I am (still) one of those women but I couldn't agree more with him.

The other day, I was chit-chatting with Dad before we go to sleep. He was arguing about the Traditional Market vs. Hypermarket issue that was written in one national newspaper the day before. He said, it's irrational if we go against Hypermarkets because naturally people prefer to go and buy fresh ingredients from the cleanest place possible. Therefore, if we want to preserve these Traditional Markets, we (and by 'we', I mean the government) should provide these traditional 'marketers' a few cleaner places to sell their goods - not by prohibiting (new) Hypermarkets from doing business in this country.

And those, are two of the many reasons why I go crazy over engineers. :)
