#32

My shoe broke lol. It was a long story. Xiaxue was extremely perplexed that ii refused to buy a pair of new shoes because “it won’t match my outfits” and i insisted wearing it until the wedges came off BUT I TAPE IT TOGETHER WITH SCOTCH TAPE WTF. Then i wore it for a bit more until the other shoe also give up on me. The strap broke.

So i had no choice but wear Xiaxue’s newly bought shoes instead lolol.

#33

We had a happy night staying in the hotel because WE CAN HAZ MELON!!!

I forgot how much we paid for this melon anymore. I think it’s something like RM80.
