Taylor's Keds sneakers

On a fine morning, I received my teenage magazine as usual, and started flipping the pages of what feels like my textbook. Till I arrived on the page of Taylor's Keds give-away. The question they asked was "What was the latest design of  Taylor Swift's Keds?". If my answer is correct, I'll win a pair of sneakers worth $79. At that point, I thought "What? So I'll just answer this and win a pair of shoes for free. How worth it". I didn't know the answer, even Googled, but the results were fruitless. So picking what seems like the most legit answer, I replied 'polka dots'. Putting the stamp on and placing it in the mail box. I thought for sure I won't get it. But I placed it in anyway as it's worth the try, since that stamp cost only 20 cents. And my mum was trying to clear the stamp box, which has tons of old stamps that we weren't sure if it is still usable. So it was a win-win situation. Clearing a stamp, and having a 1% chance of winning a pair of shoes for free. Ha. Ha.

I forgot about the mail, till one late evening. My dad returned home and he said a letter was addressed to me. I thought that was particular, since I don't receive mail often, and this wasn't the time of the month to receive school letters. Jumping off the couch, I perfected 3 somersault before landing with one knee in front of the table that held the mysterious letter. I, then slowly, and stealthily, place both my hands at the edge of the table and peeked at the suspicious-looking paper, before my mother shouted at me to 'just grab the letter'. Frustrated that my cover was blown, I took it and tore open the part where it says tear - said by no one ever, well, except me. Welcomed by the rows of words, that almost blinded me, I skipped to the most important part of every letter, the bold words. I gasped as I absorbed what was in front of my eyes, I cannot believed it was true....... I was expelled from ninja school. Noooooo.

Hah. Hah. Just joking. The letter said  I won a pair of TAYLOR'S sneakerssss. How exciting.


Wooo.

I received it on Wednesday, and my dad was free on the coming Friday, so today, we went to the company to collect the sneakers! We climbed to the second story of the company building and strolled to the second door on the right. Along the way, there were offices of other magazine company, like the national geographic. Upon arrival, we were greeted by an old woman who doesn't seem too friendly. She demanded my IC and scooted somewhere which I could no longer see her. I waited with my mum at the entrance of the office, or room. and saw the poster of GG and Super Junior with signatures on it. There was also a display box, filled with trophies, which I don't give a damn.

She returned with a letter on her hand, presenting us with this voucher. Apparently, we came here to get another paper, when they can just mail it to me -.-


My dad fetched us to bugis, and from there we took the MRT to takashimaya. I bought Cw's birthday present while I was in bugis. We walked at Kinokuniya and ate ajisen for lunch

We then spent near 15 mins picking out which design of T.S collection. Truthfully, there isn't any that is true to my liking. So I picked the one that has the most value, typical me. The expensive gold one.
Even the box is awesome

Navy blue, with gold polka-dots & cutting. How. Vintage.
I made the shoelace myself hehh.

Overall, the reason why I picked this was because of the guitar pick thingy at the side, it matches the gold cutting of the sneakers. I really like the guitar pick, it adds on to everything of T.S's design.

SO YAY. It's really prettyyyy. It was also the last pair of it's design WOO.
