essentials

do you ever feel uncomfortable or insecure for the whole day if you forget to bring something that you always have with you when you go out of the house? i do. maybe not so much insecure as uncomfortable for me, 'cause i'm not one to cry or make a big fuss and be unhappy for the rest of the day over forgetting to bring my handphone out or anything like that. i think that's just silly. what's wrong with having no handphone for one day besides a little inconvenience? but there'll be this persistent nagging feeling at the back of my mind, wondering whether i really left it at home, or whether i dropped it somewhere outside, and wondering when i last saw it...and then when i get home the first thing i'll do is look for it, and there's always this sense of relief when i find it sitting on my desk or in another bag.

these are the things i always always have in my bag...well, almost always. hence the big bags.
clockwise in the picture: the cheshire cat purse has my ezlink card, my comb (yes, very important item), and my eyeliner. and then there's my wallet with the hello kitty amulet. my bb with the alice charm (yes i found somewhere to hang it on the phone! thanks to char ♥) and my scheduler (very important!). my itouch (for the music, the photos, the net, and yes, the mirror screen) and my new ff knickknacks pouch with the sylvanian doll charm (contains plasters, panadol, stomach pills, bobbypins, clips...) and last but not least the pseudo anna sui purse with my house keys (very very important). and there's the black pen i always carry around of course, but i forgot to include that in the picture.

i made a new bracelet cookie, at her request. it only has charms, but it's still pretty, 'cause the charms are alice-themed. i'm biased like that.
