ION, Prologue Books and Mitju Shoes...

So yesterday morning after my little shoe episode, headed to Mitju and ended up buying 2 pairs of new shoes. Actually my 'broken' pair of shoes were also from Mitju, but I'd go back and buy their shoes again cos they're always quite comfortable, even their heels at 9cm+ height! But I guess wearing any pair of shoe day in, day out in all sorts of weather will cause it to wear out eventually.

My new shoes...

Purple, with cute laces!...

Quite comfortable, apart from the back of the shoe which you can see I have already pasted the heel liners. Even after adding the heel liners, they are a little bit stiff but bearable =S

Red shoes!

Ok, so I've always liked red things... maybe I'm seeing more red shoes around lately because Chinese New Year is around the corner and everyone tends to buy everything red! But these are super comfy shoes! Haven't worn them out yet, but so far it seems comfortable. Even the back of the shoe seems soft! Might have to take them out for a test run tomorrow =D

But I think I'll play safe and add my saviours just in case...

Yups, heel liners are my saviours!!! I need to use them in EVERY pair of shoes!!! Maybe my feet are just way too sensitive =S But actually these Scholl ones aren't my favourite, they're my "budget" liners. My faves are still Foot Petals heel liners, but for some reason they seem increasingly hard to find! And they're $10+, compared to these Scholl ones which are $5... or $8.50 for 2 pairs in Watsons this month.

Moving on... I got these 2 books from Prologue:

• Favourite Cupcakes and Cheesecakes ~ Page One
• i ♥ macarons ~ Hisako Ogita

Basically I got the Cupcakes and Cheesecakes book because I desperately wanted a recipe for New York Cheesecake. It was a toss up between this book and Cheesecakes of the World (or something to that effect) also by Page One Publishing. Basically both books have the same Cheesecake recipes, but the one I got has the added benefit of Cupcake recipes.

I bought i ♥ macarons cos I want to try making them. I've always loved how they look so adorable and colourful! In actual fact I've only ever had 1 macaron!!! And seriously I can't remember what it tasted like haha. I think I've always been infatuated with them just based on good looks ;)

Anyways, today I also got more Strawberry Mochi from Niponya and ate with my aunt at The Asian Kitchen. Photos and more info tomorrow... it's already 3am+!!! And I have a huge day ahead of me tomorrow!!! I still need to get some tools to make my NY Cheesecake! And I have heaps of cleaning  to do... Arrrgghhhh... Why do weekends pass so quickly and the work week is ALWAYS draggy!!!

Also I need to create a new watermark for my images, cos currently I'm using my old one and it just doesn't fit in with my new theme. *sighs* where will I find the time?! Goodnight (+.+)(-.-)(_ _) ..zzZZ
