Ghosts

This friend of mine, is a kind person. When he has any second hand Brooks shoes, he will call me and ask if I want them. My answer is definitely 'Yes!'

He is a dealer in Brooks shoes and he always likes to try on different kinds of shoes. After that, he would just sell them away cheaply.

Many months ago, I had bought two pairs from him and recently, my husband told me that those two pairs were almost worn down. 

So I had to ask this friend if he had any second hand shoes. He told me that he had this very pair which he only wore it once and he's selling it at RM180.

Grabbed it and gave it to my husband. He wore it immediately for his meeting last night.
After that, he will wear it for his daily work at the shop.

    By just reading the title of this post, I thought this is a ghost story. Luckily it is just the product line of a brand of shoes and not some scary ghost story.

      that pair of shoes could possibly cost around RM400.

      it retails about RM369 b4 discount. Usually Brooks dealers can give 30% discount, even for new models. :-D

      The reason there's a Ghost series under Brooks brand is because one of the shoes designer. He ran very quietly, i.e. you don't hear his steps , moving like a ghost and the series is named after that. :-D

      Brooks is a very popular brand amongst runners & it caters for mostly runners (running shoes, trail shoes) with one or two models for walking. :-D

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
