Emily’s Journal

I was reading LB's blog and came across this rather interesting busybody meme, since I'm feeling rather vain right now I might as well grab the chance and show off to the world what junk I always carry around when I'm out for a day in the city. Now let's get the list rolling!

(What a mess! Obviously it was a last minute work >_&lt

1. Wallet containing the usual suspects such as ID card, driving license, money, ATM cards and receipts I always forget to junk. I also need a new wallet, waiting for Debenham's next stock clearing sale

2. House keys and motorcycle keys (Love the keychain from Australia my friend gave me, it has real kangaroo furs on it!).

3. A 3 year old half broken-half working Nokia 7210 for emergencies.

4. My Panasonic Lumix FZ5 of course, I'm reluctant to travel far if I don't have it charged and ready.

5. A Creative Muvo TX FM 256MB MP3 player that magically cuts down train traveling duration, time is relative after all

6. Foldable hairbrush, one of the best inventions of all time

7. Hair mosturiser. Helmet + humidity + strong winds… How do the other girls still manage to look so good!? I want a bloody car dammit!

8. Mirror, need I say more?

9. Lip balm, lipstick and a small perfume bottle.

10. Tissues, umm I rather not comment on this one

11. A book for reading in the train or when I sit to rest at benches.

12. Pen and notepad, I got itchy hands heh.

13. Maps, since I prefer to walk than rely on cunning-blood-sucking-opportunity-seeking taxi drivers

14. A bottle of water, I've learnt my lesson during a trip to putrajaya last time where I wasn't able to drink for hours under the hot sun!

15. Foldable umbrella, useful against the sun and the rain.

16. Pepper spray, no such thing as being too careful.

They all fit into this poor battered waterproof back pack of mine and have a total weight of around 2kgs or even more heheh (strange, it doesn't look battered at all in the picture… I must be a very good photographer muhahaha). Ever since the rise of snatch theft in the country I've stopped using handbags or shoulder bags completely, makes me wonder why many women still use them. However, along with my wallet this bag is showing a lot of wear and tear from months of abuse. Have to wait for Debenham's sale to get another one, I got this one for… 70% discount I think. Very sweet deal indeed ^_^

PS: I'm tagging Smoke Head, Sam and Chris to do this meme because I am a busybody. So do it!!!
