well, received comment that my entries are too gloomy and sad. HAha can't really help it if i only write when i'm down yeah?

Anyway have something to write about today which isn't too sad. It is more retarded than sad. I happened to see the news yesternight, reporting about how another toddler got his toe stucked in the escalator... I have no idea how it happened, but instead of feeling sorry for them, i just think it is damn spastic for such a thing to happen. After i read this morning's papers and found out that the other one who lost his toe was wearing crocs, everything just became more retarded to the power of ten.
I really have no hell idea how to get my toe stucked at the bottom of the escalator. Because when i was younger, i will lift my feet away from the steps way before it reaches the end. Even if the toddler's reflexes and coordination isn't quite there, the least the parents could do is to pay attention to the child and carry him up when they realised that he is mesmerised/hypnotised by the yellow lines going into the bottom and disappearing.
But if the parents have problem keeping the child by their side, allowing them to run up and down the escalator and be a nuisance to everyone else, den i'm not sorry to say that the kid deserve a lesson.
And look, shoes are meant to fit. I don't see people going to shops asking for shoes that are one size bigger and walk like clowns down the streets. But that's crocs for you. They are loose and your movement will be slower. Simply disaster waiting to happen.
Now as i'm writing this, i'm sure many parents are throwing their kids' crocs out the window. The same ones who looked so pleased when their children put them on and run around looking like clowns. Parents, i have no idea what is going through ur minds when you bought those things for your children. But let's break it down for you guys. Crocs, as i have heard, may be more hygenic and because doctors wear it in the hospital or something, you may think that it prob is good. Adults, can wear anything that they want, ranging from a top a size too small, a pair of bottom that are two sizes too large and a pair of shoes that is full of holes. They can handle it. They know what to do if something wrong happens, ie, the top burst, they step on their own baggy jeans or the shoe is left behind on the streets. But we're talking about children, below 10 years old.. Granted, children nowadays are way smarter with all the milk powder in the market. But still, they're smart doesn't mean they can coordinate their body well. You don't see the milk powder advertisement with a kid playing basketball like Michael Jordan, do you? The problem is that they think they're smart, they run around and you prob think they're smart too, so you let them run around. So at the end of the day, when something bad like that happens, it is not the shoes, not the jeans not the top, it is YOU! You are responsible for your own child! So please, apply ur mind the next time you buy something for your child. Not just whether he/she will like it or not, whether it will look nice and trendy, it should be safe!!

I think many pairs of small crocs will be on their way to africa... hahaha But i doubt they'll want it.. You cant run in those things. LOL
