Women and their shoes
This poster has been a talking point whenever we lunch at P.C. With his pose and the slogan 'Coz I want to fly high' makes the poster uber gay.
Really, I believe SP could have done a better job.

In the office, I listen to gossips all the time. From men, botox, Xiaxue to clothes, females can talk about almost everything. Not only that, I read what people post in the Bank's bulletin with interest. Girls ask questions like "How to find the perfect partner?" or "I'm 21 and am married. Should I divorce my husband?" Those topics crack me up.
Ah... but they never get tired of talking shoes. If someone walks into the office with a new pair, everyone wants to try. They get excited whenever there's a sale at Charles & Keith. They envy when someone walks in with a pair of Nine West.
Women check each other out. They compare their shoe designs, their shoe collections, shoe colours... R0z gets upset if someone wears the same pair as her. Jasmine got jealous when Mandy came in with a pair of swanky black heels on her first day. To date, the self-acclaimed shoe collector has a cupboard full of shoes but never wear most of them. She rather let them get mouldy than to donate to Salvation Army.
Gerrie has an array of colours, from white, red, black to green. Likewise, she hardly wear all the shoes in her cupboard. She claims each pair is different, even though they look similar to me. She talks about the differences in heel shapes and sizes. Now, whenever she gets a pair of cover shoes, I know she would need Scholl gel pad. I even helped scan the shop and could tell her 'there's nothing. Let's go." I pick out shoes for her, much to her delight. Not mine.
I read in the papers how a pair of boots got stuck and caused trains to be delayed. Jasmine's response: Bloody hell, make me wait for the train so long!
Shoes!
