Do I really have that many?

Bf n i were havin a telecon n we talked about shoppin, naturally. I told him i haven't bought much of anythin for myself lately n told him i spent a total amount of RM81!! on his hair gel. That's 6 tubs of Gatsby, on 15% off. I wanted to faint.
_______________*dreamy music playing*_____________________
Bf: Do u know how many pairs of shoes u have here in Melbourne? If i were to throw away some of ur shoes u wouldn't even notice.

Me: *squeal* How can u throw away my things?? cannot!! cannot!! *stomps the bed*

Bf: Do u know u have 17 pairs of shoes here in Melbourne? n dat's not including the boots u bought.

Me: *gag* Really ar? i got 17 pairs of shoes? got so many mer? but.. but a lot of them cannot wear one mar.. not i buy one.. my mummy buy one mar..

Bf: Yeah, all the same. dat's 17 pairs of shoes.. if u give it $20 a pair, it'll be $340..

(thinkin i bought some shoes from Melbourne n a pair would cost at least $50)

Me: My shoes got so cheap mer?

Bf: Okay lar, give u benefit of the doubt, $400 in total, u add the boots in, dat'll be about $600. $600 can buy a full set of my car bodykit already u know?

(mental calculation tells me dat my mid-calve boots are $150 n low-calve boots are $80, more than $200)

Me: Hey, more than $600 lar.. *oops, wrong move*

Bf: Ha, u see?

Me: WAIT! *suddenly recalls i have 2 more pairs of boots from e-bay* i got 4 pairs, 2 from Melbourne, 2 from e-bay..

Bf: Still dare say.. Really lor, if i threw some out u won't even notice..

Me: *half scream* U better not throw any of my shoes out, if not i make sure u buy me back more shoes!

*ahem*
n that concludes the end of my telecon on the blog, even tho there are still part 2 n 3s involvin his tyres being worth more value than my shoes if sold. "Can your shoes take you 10,000km?" he says.. how to compare??!?!

Do I really have dat many pairs of shoes in Melbourne? I only wear like.. i dunno, 4 pairs or so? n i don't even own dat many pairs of shoes in KL, my original home. it's so hard to believe. i know many of u have more shoes than i do, n maybe u girlz do throw out shoes dat won't do the job anymore.. i don't remember throwin out shoes dat i don't want, except the one time i threw out this shiny black n white PVC platform sneakers (there were so cool n nice back then!!).

never mind, i MUST go shoe-counting when i go back to Melbourne.

n also those in KL dat i have.. those dat i STILL wear. *^-^*

Man, tell your bf, 17 is not alot at all, even 170 is not alot. :)

Even My husband have more than 100 shoes of his own!

And something good about being in Australia is (i dunno about melb, but in Perth, yes) they have this second hand shop that would love to buy your shoes that you no longer want to wear. Try that! and it will give you back some cash! :)

correction: ops! i am so free that i actually went to count my husband's shoes! they are not more than 100, but close to. :O actually, i have alot too... :p

so...

Bubbles said...

guys just dun get it. cannot count by number of shoes lor, cos the actual pairs that i wear (regularly) is very much less than that. so a girl can never have enough :D

Mz said...

how very true! girls can never have enough shoes becoz we never know when we'll need them! n we'll need them alright.

Juei, i shall ask my bf to read ur comment.. keke oh, n where's dat shop in Perth again?

Dave, y cannot have so many pairs mer? try to write a rebuttal entry on ur own blog.. =P

Kai, the usual pairs dat i wear also about 3 or 4 only lor.. dat's not a lot wat.. if we go out twice a day, most times we won't wear the same shoes, right right right?? =)

davors said...

:P

Mz said...

*news flash*

women are actually highly evolved Schizura unicornis. Caterpillars in other words.. although the metamorphosis is so complete they do not resemble anything like their intellectually under-developed predesessors, signs of them clinging strongly to their primodial instincts cannot be denied..

with a mixture of their highly evolved notions of self-preservation and protection, shoes and footwear are a neccesity, however when put together with their sub-self-consciousness, they believe they have multiple pairs of feet, up to the dozens. for other Schizura species, the numbers can go up to hundreds, thus requiring that many pairs of protective footwear.









and...i base that on nothing :p
