Havaianas
I finally own a pair of havaianas!!
Before I met KL, I didn’t know how to wear tongs (slippers). I always thought the reason why I never knew how to was because I lived in a HDB flat and didn’t have a garden or backyard like my cousins to run around. It was only in recent years that I learn how to really walk properly in it.
Okay, the truth is, I still sometimes walk funny in it. In a few occasions, I kicked my slippers ahead of me and in many occasions, my feet came loose from the tongs.
Last year, unemployed, I desperately needed to get one of those rubber tongs due to the extreme weather. While everyone in the street was spotting colourful havaianas, the cheapskate in me bought a bright pink and a turquoise colour from Target for a total of $4.99.
During my trip back to SunnyLand, it was so hot I wore my tongs everywhere. However, I look really ridiculous with everything i wore because of the colour. So, I left my bright pink one in SunnyLand because my mum like them although it was all disgustingly filthy.
After a few weeks of pondering, I finally bought a brown (safe colour) havaianas today for $18.95. I think it’s probably a very good investment.
