i bought a new pair of sneakers for chinese new year. there weren’t any kickass puma sneakers on sale and the kickass sneakers i saw were beyond budget so i settled for these, which happened to be sneakers i’ve been wanting to buy for a few years and miraculously, there was a 50% discount.

never mind that they’re not kickass and that they’re actually quite common. i still like them pretty much. so much that i have the habit of looking at them while i walk. while i stand. while i sit.

so a couple of days ago, i was walking to the office pantry, with my eyes fixed on the dream shoes that are finally mine. i was so engrossed and yet, familiar enough with the office to walk without looking ahead.

and so i almost walked right into my boss. almost, to the extent of my spiky hair touching his back.

gotta kick this very bad habit of mine.
