Walking Sandals

Walking from Bangkok Bank in the heart of Kuala Lumpur to JKR HQ which was next to Bank Negara was the morning routine for going to work. It took me between 20 to 30 minutes to walk the distance. It is about the exercise requirement for a cardio workout. Since it was early in the morning you don't really suffer from perspiration. But the return trip in the afternoon was quite a different story. For the first few weeks there were aches and pains on my legs. Once you get used to the rhythm it was plain sailing. But I can't say that about my walking sandals. Being a newbie you can't afford to purchase high quality leather shoes. My RM15 walking sandals lasted me only 3 days. My other RM30 walking sandals survived only 1 month. However only after my first paycheck could I afford better walking shoes.

وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَ كُلَّ دَابَّةٍ مِن مَّاء فَمِنْهُم مَّن يَمْشِي عَلَى بَطْنِهِ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَمْشِي عَلَى رِجْلَيْنِ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَمْشِي عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ يَخْلُقُ اللَّهُ مَا يَشَاء إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Al-Nour 24:45 And Allah has created every animal from water: of them there are some that creep on their bellies; some that walk on two legs; and some that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills for verily Allah has power over all things.
