Learning in the hard way....

A week become an employee and I face my first personal problem... my 1-week-old shoes is ripped! Yes, it's a week old and it no longer wearable. DAMN!

With my income issue, I have an intention to reduce my monthly expense. Cause I know that I have to mange my personal finance by myself now with consideration of my future plan, like take S2 degree, buy new phone (Blackberry :D), buy new car, pay my parent go hajj, buy an apartment etc...etc... That's why when I searched for new home (a.k.a kos-an) the number 1 prior criteria is the one that is walking-distance away from office. And I got it, just 10 minutes walk from Wisma Mulia, nice home, nice neighborhood. Everything seems perfect at that time, the problem comes a week later, and not about the kos-an but when I walk 10 minutes on a not-so-smooth way to the office.

My new shoes is like my usual shoes : black and simply, with new addition: 1 cm wedges. I'm in a rush to move to Jakarta when I bought the shoes, that's why I didn't try the shoes properly and it's a disaster. I never got any major problem with heels, actually I like heels, as long as it has a reasonable size, but wedges??? I think we can't be friend at all. I can't walk properly with wedges, eventhough I walk in the smooth surface. The fact that I didn't try it properly give me a huge regret, because it's not a thirty-thousand-kota-kembang shoes, it's a twice-weekly-income shoes and for me it's not cheap at all. The effect... my foot hurt and now... my shoes hurt.

The initial intention with has a near home to office is to reduce transportation cost... but with wrong judment in choosing shoes the cost won't reduce, because I have to buy new one and it's equal with (maybe more than) the transportation cost that I have to spend in a month if I take bus everyday to office. So, the learn-in-the-hard-way results... don't buy shoes just because it's black and simply, don't buy shoes if you in a rush and don't buy shoes if it has wedges!
