There’s one thing that I don’t get. Crocs.

Not the animal, but the shoes.

It’s ugly, and you can’t decide if it’s a shoe, or a slipper, or what. And it makes your feet look 10 times more bulgy, like bear feet or something. And did I mention that it is ugly? (If you don’t know what I’m refering to, click HERE and here, for visual evidence.

That’s why I don’t get why is it so popular at all? Yellow, blue, green, orange, red, purple, pink, black. They’re all ugly. Plus, as with every footwear fad in Singapore, imitations appear at every street corner, pushing fake crocs in all their hideous imitation colours for 5 bucks a piece. THAT, is even more irritating.

If all you want is ventilation and comfort, why not just wear sandals/slippers? At least that’s pleasing to the eye.

But I guess I’ll make one exception. Mini mini crocs look super cute on lil’ kids. And by lil’ I mean like a 2-year-old toddler. I saw a cute toddler with a tiny pair of purple crocs and that was the only time it didn’t look weird. I suppose the fact that it is 10 times smaller than the average adult size makes it look non-bloated and non-bear-feet-like. And I suppose the ultra cute factor of a 2-year-old cancels out any ugliness on the shoes’ part. :p

Chess is never my thing. An intellectual game? Yes. But seriously, it’s too boring and I won’t sit through it to prove my intellect (or the lack thereof).

Puzzles are Ok. It’s fun, only if I can at least solve some.

But throw in a few cute animated cows, some hay stacks, and the coveted animated throphy, somehow this puzzle game becomes a whole lot more addictive!

I’ve been playing this sorta as a fun thing to relax and unwind after school. But now I’m stuck at level 34 and my cows are going nowhere!

I like that it’s such a simple game: your aim is to get the grey cow to the trophy with the arrows given. But it’s challenging at the same time yet not beyond solving (so that I can feel a little smarter hehe).

Guess I’m just not much of a 3D gamer cos it makes me dizzy and I can’t navigate 3-dimensionally. Old fashioned linear games like Mario are my kind of thing. Which is why I’m so happy some smart tech geeks did an emulator system (or something) and I can play good old Mario online HERE.

whee!
