Famous Hokkien verse for "wanting to look good, forsake your life" (loose translation)...
Brand New Shoes, bite your toes!
Black lace trims, cut your heels!
Put them on, flaunt your new buy...
And start limping your way to the copier!
Pry them apart, when no one is looking...
Plaster the feet with already blisters, half-cookin'!!
Dragged my feet past the Singapore River,
Great temptation to throw them over!
Kept my cool and con't limping all the way to dinner...
Wished my feet were at least two sizes smaller!!
