flip flop and thongs

as malaysians, we get our very first pair of flip flops at a tender age of 3 or 4. the Bata slippers or famous/infamous Japanese slippers that we keep so dear to our hearts protect our little feet.. we wear them everywhere... to the playground, to grandma's house, to steal mango from the neighbours house, to go to the shop...

and we never grow out of them.

every time our faithful slipper gives way, we go back to a store, buy another pair and jump straight into them. :)

but as we grow, our fashion sense developed. from the frocks we wore. (and we though we looked soooo pretty... like a ffaaaiiirrryyy) to the school uniform, (silly hot stuffy things!) to the hot pants (woo... adventurous a bit) to the now sunday dresses and heels... the flip flops never really died out did they?
