That Elusive Effusive Perfection of a Bag

since i started working about.. lemme see, goodness, already 9 whole months!!??
well, i've been in search for the PERFECT WORK BAG.

i swear, i can buy totes, lug-arounds & carry-alls ANYWHERE.

but i need something classy, versatile and BIG enough to lug:
(it'll be good if its genuine leather! hoho!)

1. laptop charger and connecting cables.
2. my company's catalogue or 2.
3. the 2 wallets i have now (don't ask.)
4. make up pouch.
5. 1 organiser and 2 notebooks. (i know, don't ask.)
6. name card holder.
7. tissue paper.
8. water bottle.
9. 1 brolly. (for the rainy season only!)
10. plasters in case of blisters.
11. keys. and boy, they are a pretty HUGE bunch.
12. sales tools book. (well, preferable if i brought it but its okay to leave it behind.)
13. pocket calculator.


so yes, you get my point eh?

i've been trawling websites because i don't exactly have the luxury of time to shop like i used to.
YES, net-a-porter a couple of million times. BUT NOTHING.
the ones catch my fancy to are waaaaaaaaaay outta my budget.
and the ones that are cheaper just don't make the cut.

i don't want to blow like a thousand bucks on a bag just like that.
(i don't earn THAT much, i need to save too)
i want a timeless bag that i'd really love.
something not too flashy. it really doesn't have to be expensive or have a label.

great, now the criterion just went up YET again.
goodness, finding a boyfriend off the streets would be easier than finding THAT PERFECT BAG!!
where are you!!

to give you an idea, jimmy choo's ramona bag (black patented leather) does come close.
click me to take a look!
hahahha, but the price tag comes even closer. close enough to choke your windpipes and make you go: wah lau eh, ah neh gui. siao ar.

my poem for my bag till i find it.

WHERE ART THOU OH-PERFECT-BAG?
KEEP ME SEARCHING NO LONGER.

LET MY EYES WANT TO WANDER, NO MORE.

AND TAME MY FRANTIC HEART.

SO COME REST UPON MY SHOULDERS;

OH-PERFECT-BAG.

FOR I HAVE SEEKED TILL MY BLOODY FINGERS ARE TIRED FROM SEARCHING FOR YOU ONLINE LAH. KANNA SAI.

whatever. shit, i want my IT bag.
