Thursday Thirteen - 5th Edition
Thirteen Things Inside My BagWell, thanks to my lecturers and my university's internet connection I couldn't post this earlier. I did however managed to get all the endings for
Cute Knight! YAAY!! I also found out that this game is actually based on a Japanese game called Princess Maker, which seems a whole lot more interesting. Yet for the sake of my thesis, I shall refrain from downloading it until my thesis is finished.
Okay, back to my TT for this week. Originally I wanted to post up 13 things I miss about Singapore since I'm going there this saturday (yeps, 2 days to go! Woohoo! I can't wait!) but because of how much I love my new bag (see yesterday's entry) I decided to do
Thirteen Things Inside My Bag, instead. This list is of course very subjective as at any given time I could have more or less items inside my bag.
First of all, allow me to introduce you the lovely bag itself:
And here's what's inside it:
1. Hair Accessories
A major necessity ever since I got my haircut. Usually I could easily tie my hair up in a bun without any props. But now I need the scrunchie/ponytail holder for whenever it gets hot or I'm having a bad hair day. Meanwhile, the hair clips are useful for a quick fix when I need to look more sophisticated/pretty/you get what I mean.
2. Make-up Kit
I'm not fond of make-up, so as you can see... my make-up kit is small and contains next to nothing that could actually qualify as proper make-up. AND I hardly use them, too. So, I have a small bottle of perfume, a Revlon lip gloss in Pink Afterglow, a Lip Smacker liquid gloss in Strawberry Kiwi, a Body Shop lip butter in coconut, a hair brush cum mirror and Clean&Clear Oil Control Film.
3. Pencil Case
Extremely important to me is this pencil case, because you never know when you need to write something down. And it's also very helpful at Sunday School since most of the kids in my class always seem to forget their pens and have a tendency to ask me for pens. There's the lovely Mark&Note Post-It thingie, 5 pens (3 of them from the same make and 3 of them in black - though this might change soon since I no longer go to campus so I'll probably put some more colourful items in) and 1 mechanical pencil with extra lead.
4. Speck
Well, that's what I call my cute lil iPod guy. He's a 8GB new generation iPod. The casing, BTW, was one of the reason I wanted an iPod so bad. Hahaha. Speck is actually the brand of this casing. Since it's printed on his back, I figured might as well call him that. Next to Speck is my beloved Sennheiser headphones which I ripped off bro's Nokia N91.
5. My Organizer
This blue book is where I write down all my appointments, to-do-list, and what-nots. Originally I used a free diary from a magazine to do this function, but it was too big and then I landed my hands on this blue book. It's actually a note book so I have to draw in the lines and everything, but I love it. The teddy bear on the cover is actually a glow in the dark sticker which I pasted on to add some cuteness ;P
6. Handphones
My Samsung E-870 and X-820, the loves of my life. Actually I used to carry 3 phones, the other one being a Samsung E-640 (read yesterday's post as well). If you're wondering why, it's because one is a post-paid number which is a very special number because it's made of my birth date, which is my main number and I use for everything and everyone, and the other one is pre-paid number which gives 100 free SMS/per day which I mainly use to SMS with my mom. My Samsung E-640 used to hold my old pre-paid number from a different operator which also has my birth date within the numbers.
7. My Wallet
Perhaps the most important thing inside my bag. I could go out of my house without all the other stuff but not without my wallet. This wallet holds my money, ID cards of all kinds, credit cards, ATM cards, membership/discount cards and also some namecards. This particular wallet was a bonus from UK's Sugar magazine, which I bought just because I wanted the wallet. I was looking for a new wallet because I got bored of my old one, and I just love the colour of this one. I'm not sure you can see this, but the zipper has a drawing of a bear hanging on it which I got from my ex. Recently I also put up a sticker at the front, again... a cute lil bear :)
8. Keys
Hanging on another cute bear keychain are all my keys. I used to have more keys there, now there are only 5 of 'em, I think. All are in different colours (blue, purple, gold, red and the usual silver). I also have my USB flash disk hanging here, as you can see.
9. Mints
Essential for fresh breath or simply to kill boredom. This one is a box of mini Polo mints, but I always have different kinds of mints/candies in my bag. Sometimes even more than one kind.
10. Sunglasses/Shades
Hardly use them, actually. But since there were times I regret not having them with me, I carry them around at all possible times. Again, you never know when they might come in handy.
11. Tissue
Actually, I was never used to carrying tissues with me. For some reason I keep forgetting them. And my mom used to get mad at me because I keep asking her for tissues. Now I almost always carry tissues with me, both dry and wet ones, except when they ran out along the way. I guess this particular habit developed in Singapore. So far I've learned that having tissues in your bag makes guys consider you more feminine thus make them treat you more lady-like (seriously!) - especially when they need those tissues. Hahah :D They're very important for personal use at times too, though. So yeah, you probably won't catch me without tissues in my bag, ever.
12. Book
Again another habit I nourished in Singapore, although I recall I carried around books with me ever since I was a kid, always carry a book in your bag. It is very useful for when you are waiting for someone/something or when you're in the public transportation OR when you don't want to be disturbed (like at a cafe or something). Plus the book can make a great conversation starter too, if used correctly ;)
13. Camera
Last but not least, my digital camera. Well, what you see here is just the case because I was using the camera, but you get my point. Again, you never know when you need to take pictures. Like when you meet some cute lil kid or when the sun is shining and the clouds are oh-so-pretty. Of course, both my handphones are equipped with cameras... but my digital camera, A Casio Exilim EX-Z850, which I bought in Singapore, has 8.1 megapixels. Extreme clarity, wonderful lighting, not to mention a bunch of functions enough to keep a bunch of guys, either gadget freaks, photo freaks, or just narcissistics amazed for a long time! Ah, how I love my digital camera :-*
PS: For some added fun, try and figure out how many teddy bear related stuff (including all stickers) I have in my bag! :)
