What’s in the bag

December 15, 2007 · 1 Comment

Yes, it’s one of those ‘What’s in your bag’ entries. I couldn’t resist it since it’s a rainy Saturday afternoon and I’m at home sinking into my bean bag while sipping Chai. I whipped out my camera and took the picture of my bag where it can usually be found: sprawled lifeless on the carpet and not elsewhere with the dignity it should deserve.

1) The bag: Buffalo hide vintage documentary bag
I got this off a second hand store for about SGD32. Its label reads: Genuine Leather, Buffalo Hide, Made in India. Yes it’s real. I usually wear it only when I’m in a shirt or black blazer thrown over a tshirt – something more dressy.

2) Novel: The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
My second time reading it. My first read was when I was 16.

3) Journal sketchbook
I got this from Borders. It has a cover made of maroon velvet and no lines inside. Everything from my notes to my thoughts and journal entries to random recipes and grocery shopping lists go inside.

4) Magazine
I usually bring along a magazine for light reading. For more on the titles I read, scroll down the sidebar. I just happened to bring Time with me.

5) iPod Touch 16GB
My baby. I can’t go anywhere without it. I have videos of Prison Break, Sex and The City, all my songs plus, a web browser all rolled into one.

6) 12″ iBook G4
It’s a few years old and the keyboard is stained a slight yellow. My iBook has been with me through thick and thin through solo latte sessions and raucous laughter when Youtubing. Doubt I’ll get a macBook anytime soon since it’s still working fine. Besides, it’s 12 inches. I love the size, I think the smallest macBooks come in are 13 inches. I don’t know, maybe someone could correct me?

7) Ray Bans sunglasses
For a pair of sunglasses, SGD285 is not in my measly budget. It was an impulse buy to cheer myself up. But you can never go wrong with a pair of Ray Bans and I’ve been wearing them everywhere ever since.
