How to choose shoes that could have you dancing all night:-

Shop at the end of the day (or, if you are buying sneakers, after a run), when feet are swollen.

Have both feet measured before buying. Foot size changes as we age, and as we gain and lose weight – and one foot tends to be large than the other. Buy shoes to fit the larger foot.

Do not shop by number; sizes vary between different styles and designers. Try shoes on and walk around to see if they are comfortable.

Replace sneakers after running 500km to 800km or doing 300hrs of aerobic activities.

Make sure there is about one centimeter of space between your longest toe and the end of the toe box.

Do not buy shoes that are too tight, thinking they will stretch. There is no such thing as breaking them in.

Do not wear the same shoes two days in a row. Let them breathe so they would not collect moisture and promote the growth of foot fungi.

Every child has a dream.

Every child has an ambition.

So do I. Will get to it later.

When I asked around my little siblings & cousins (aged 6 – 9) of their ambition and I get answers like dentist, teacher, policeman and much more. My favourite little cousin wants to be a dentist as she is having dental problem. That some how motivates her. My little brother dreams to be a policeman upon seeing my husband in his police uniform during the wedding. My darling sister is taking her Diploma in Business, yet hers is to be a receptionist in a prestigious company in Raffles Place area.

As for me, as you may be wondering, is ironic. I grew up with my grandpapa and grandmama. They were vendors in construction site, a ‘café’ for the construction workers in the Western area of Singapore. I would, then, sit on the bench, with my legs swaying back and forth, mesmerized with the sounds of a cement mixer truck. The huge rotating barrel that goes round and round for some time and pukes out a well-mixed cement, could actually make me sits still, makes me a well-behaved kid while both my grams busy attending customers.

From that day onwards, I have vowed to be a CEMENT MIXER TRUCK DRIVER.
