Monday Talk happens every Monday morning, whereby our company will select 1 rep among us to present something in front of everyone. the topics can be anything. some presented about bungee jumping, hari raya, Europe trip, top 10 most fearful events and some presented their hobbies or talents like playing traditional indian guitar, pole dancing, and such.
my colleague who presented the pole dancing thingy is actually a professional pole dancer. we didn't know that because she has this professional executive look in her (she's actually our company's Strategic Planner). so when she showed us her video, the competitions she had join, we were really amazed by that talent. seriously, who can pole dance that good? it takes a lot of practice and time.
this Monday will be my turn. got an email from the management last week and i have to cram my head to think of a topic. i dont have talents. im too lazy to play sports. i dont have any interesting hobbies to talk about. wow, im actually a boring person.
i had that pressure thinking of just 1 topic. then my colleagues and bosses gave me a suggestion to do slides on shoes. SHOES! yeah. that's what i'm doing. i was surprised when most of my colleagues actually noticed how much i'm into shoes and they actually saw me browsing shoes over the internet almost everyday whenever they pass by my place. when i came home and told h about this, he agreed with them and said, "yea i pun notice kalau i bukak pc i, mesti semua page tu u bukak pasal shoes". ha. if they didn't tell me this, i wouldn't have noticed it as well.
yes, i like googling shoes. i like to look at all the shoe blogs and websites. i was laughing my ass off when h told me that, when i'm upset, panic, stress, pressure or any having emotion at all, i will look up for shoes. and its very easy for him to calm me down. heh.
ok, here goes the slides that i've done for the monday talk. very simple, very basic. i have to cut down the slides here because i have too many slides for my presentation. i can't explain every detail here but at least i have some snapshots for u all to view. hehe.


a bit of history

Otzi the Iceman is claimed to be the oldest mummy in Europe. he was found frozen in the ice and his body was still intact - unlike teared up corpses normally found elsewhere.

amazing. when i made a research on the middle ages shoes, i understand that the more pointy the shoes are, the more 'powerful' the wearer feels like. it shows symbol and status back then. sometime it can go to some ridiculous extend. weird. tak susah ke kau nak berhimpit ramai2 sampai orang boleh pijak kasut kau and trip and humiliate yourself?

hundreds and hundreds of shoe types. but hey, some of them have so many names but actually the same style of shoes.

sample of the shoes. like i said, actually these shoes are the same style but have dozens of names.

i'm actually curious about the convertible heels. you can adjust the height, change the heel according to your needs. i can be flats, 2inc, 4inc, or however you want it.

gun heels as popularized by Madonna. Lobster Claw is ridiculous again, popularized by Gaga.
i like the stripper heels. one shouldn't wear shoe with more than 5 - 3/4 inches with thick sole. So if you're thinkin of buying platform heels, please ensure the height isn't as high as the stripper heels. platform is nice, but don't ever go too far on it.
i laughed out reading the definition by,
Heels so high, possibility of death is thought of.

clogs. been wanting to buy that since it's the new trend. or has it passed? shit.
oxford shoes i loveee! i prefer flats than heels. very classic.
gladiator - off season.

shoes mostly worn by Malaysians.

of all the weird shoes designed by all the people in the world, i am kinda attracted to this one.
this pair of shoes is created by a London designer and artist INSA as a response to artist
Chris Ofili's elephant dropping painting of the Virgin Mary.
Believe it or not, this unique piece of art is actually from $250 per pair!
i dont know who would want to wear heels full of shit. what will happen if it's raining heavily when you walk on that shoes? tahi bersepah2? smell sucks? euw.
but i still like the colours. very nice. however, have a look at the heels, how can you walk on the beads?

i totally agree with this. i have regretted so much on all the shoes yang my mom buang.
i'm sure i can do a shoe gallery... haih.
