at many times, peer pressure plays an important roles on our desires
it is common that what our friends have we also wanted it
you can spot this phenomena even on a little kid
whenever a kid start going to school, he will always want the pencil case or school bag his friend has
as for me,
of course i have my very own peer pressure
during my diploma time, most of my friends wear color lens and put on make up
whereas for my advanced diploma time, many of my friends went all up to equip themselves with more expensive items
for example - Longchamps handbag, iPhone and also Birkenstock shoe
for your information, nearly one third of my class is wearing a Birkenstock
i wont deny that all these do affect me at a certain extent
but i am not demanding to get all these expensive stuff because i am not earning my own living yet
however, all these people around me become some kind of reference to me
i will observe how long their shoe can last or how durable is their handbag rather than blindly go after the brand name
well,
i was unpacking my luggage on the night i arrived at KL
then i found out that my one and only sandal was torn
one of the zip spoilt and no longer can come together
haih...i thought it can last before my final semester ends
since i have some time before my semester start,
i quickly went to hunt for a new pair of shoe
i almost entered every affordable shoe shop in Pavillion but still unable to get one
i don't like lady shoe where the shoe base is smooth
it will be dangerous because it will be very slippery
i also went to Crocs to try out their sandal because my aunts strongly recommend me about their shoe
i was slightly shocked by their price when i look at the price tag because it is a little differ from what my aunt told me
but its understandable that Crocs wont be cheap
too bad that for the pair of heel sandal i like there was no more size
then i went to the last stop on my list - Birkenstock @ Lot10
i really didn't plan to buy if i can find something cheaper
but i always have this difficulty to find a pair of nice shoe for my wide and big feet
i almost spent an hour in that outlet to try most of their shoe
i also had some dilemma time so it tooks me quite long to buy a shoe
how can i not think twice right since the shoe is so expensive?
in the end, i decided to buy for few reasons :
# reason 1
it is really comfy
# reason 2
i see my classmates wear their Birkenstock for a very long time (at least 1 year) and it is not torn yet for now
# reason 3
i am lazy to do shoe shopping again on another day
# reason 4
i had a really hard time at home and i decided to give myself a little pampering
# reason 5
money is not a problem because i received ang pau during CNY =)
