Good shoes for rainy season

It has been 3 days in a row, raining steadily in Pahang since I'm back in 19 Dec 2014 up till today, 23 Dec 2014. The hardest part is going out, especially going to the faculty since the best method is walking. As the rain here also comes with heavy wind. Which makes my folded umbrella turn inside out when it was used yesterday.
There are also accident near roundabout after guard post UMP. Me and my room-mate did notice the broken street light lamp near Manufacturing Faculty. The accident occurred yesterday morning.
The water level already rise every where in Pahang, including in UMP Pekan.
Below is the picture taken on evening of 22 Dec 2014 when me and my room-mate were heading out to the faculty.

Well, we do think that we could have kayak race at the roundabout:D
During this rainy season, people tend to use slippers when they go out to faculty, cafe and etc. It is not a good view to see especially when they go to office such way. I do notice few girls using rubber shoes like crocs and etc. However, that is not enough protection for their feet from getting wet since the shoes is only ankle high. Plus, normally they won't use socks during this time since it will only get wet. Therefore, their feet getting blistered due to such condition. Saw one of student in faculty here who sat in the stairs for more than one hour. My friend did ask her why she sat there for a long time. Then, she said that her feet were blistered and she have to stay put since it does pain a lot. That is why I do think the need of boots like the yellow one that Pua Chu Kang used in the sitcom.
The signature Pua Chu Kang boots
Why I want those kind of yellow boots? The boots where high near to knee. Therefore, it also helps to cover the bottom of your pants from getting wet. Plus, it helps to keep your feet dry. More, you look presentably neat. That is what we want in this rainy season!
One blogger, Calvin also mention on having a boots for him to go for his lecture during winter season in Japan. The entry for boots of his blog : PCK Shopping.
I have goggled for those kind of boots. Well, it happens that those boots didn't come cheap. Most of them were priced from RM 100 and above. There is no such boots as cheaper than RM 100. Even for Crocs, their boots price were RM 250 and only available in one colour only. Could the link here to go to the Crocs rain boot page.
Fortunately, I did stumble on few website that did sell boots that within my budget range. And I just receive my new boots yesterday :x Have tried it out yesterday in the room. It was cosy and warm. Plus, it can be used for formal occasion since I choose black colour. No need to use yellow one like Pua Chu Kang :D With that, I could use the boots when going to the office without need to bring a spare formal shoes to change. Less of item to bring when you are going out. Plus, I would have a presentable look all the time. Will give the review on my new boots in the next entry.
Till then, bye.

VCO (Virgin Coconut Oil) as moisturiser replacement

My room-mate happens to finish her moisturiser. I suggested her to try the smallest bottle of 30 ml VCO that I am currently using since she did say she have no budget to buy the new one of hers. She pay RM 10 for the 30 ml bottle and start using it at night. She was happy to have alternative for her moisturiser and it works. She did even say that one scratch on her skin improves from being scar after she put VCO on it (she have quite sensitive skin). She did mentioned that her "telekung" did smell nice as the trace of VCO still lingers even after yesterday usage. Glad to hear improvement from her 😘.
