In my bag

The stuffs I lug to work everyday

From the top:
My sky blue umbrella which plunges me into a sea of calmness whenever it sprouts open on a rainy day, no matter how heavy the rain will be, how gloomy the sky may be.

Sony erricson handphone, my trusty brand which marries style, function and fun. Lots of pictures of where I have went alone, recordings of autograph sessions i went of live performances like khalil fong.

Samsung U3 colour your world mp3 player in a silicon case which tends to muffle out its shocking colour intensity, kinda like me cos i am loud on the inside.

Olive green wallet with a metallic butterfly design on its covers which I don't actually like. It has to be durable and dirtiable because of the many places I lunch and dine at.

Sweets in mango flavour but actually tastes more peachy than mango-ey, it says sugar free and Les Bonbons klein, but I hardly pop them. Sweets have to be sugar free if they want to be kept in my bag, because I eat it only during bluemoon days and so to keep out the ants.

Notes written on recycled papers and a weekly organiser, I like that I can actually see one week in a glance and one year at a glance; read: big picture.

Pilot Rexgrip 0.7 pen in a nice ocean blue casing, it is new. For the simple reason that I so often misplace it and then see it in another's hand. I have lost about 8 pieces of this pen in both its sunny yellow and ocean blue colours, and have got no courage to ask for return. I have a bunch of these now sitting on my desk.

Black nylon holey pouch which keeps the important stuffs in (entrance card, keys, triangle amulet) and unwanted stuffs out (dirt, foul smells).

Lavender see-through card case with my Uni ezlink (which I so often use to get student prices at fast food outlets), and name cards of my boss etc.

Citrus orange canvas pouch where all my symptom-relief medicines go, pen, gloss and foundation, vitamins, et cetera. it also keeps out the rain from the important stuffs. How i got this came from an amusing story when i was walking around town aimlessly one saturday afternoon after work, and I went into a bookstop playing a very nice song, I could not make out who it was then, but the melody just flooded me with memories, and its lyrics clear like a clean, unpolluted beach where the stones of truth just stood beneath the water, not very far from the surface. I didn't know what i was doing there, but walked out of the shop when the song ended, with this orange thing in my hand, not having realised I had paid for it. (I've got receipt too). And I later took down one phrase of the lyrics, ploughed through the net and found the title to be 左边, by sodagreen, of which i came to love very much later on.

Nivea pearl gloss in nude shade, Water cool mint balm in a baby blue metallic casing, ZA gloss vibrante, all of which I hardly use ( I have a collection of gloss and balms which are as good as new), and my trusty Za clever foundation with a generous spread of mirror.

Cloth and leather combi clutch bag which has a country and down to earth look, embellished with a handphone accessory with the letter A in baby pink, a gift from my lil sister for my last birthday ( I don't know where else to put it), a little something to remember me of my family whereever i may be.

and the date on the foto is wrong, i took it today 1/5/08


Happy labour day
