My bag....

Today is such a rainy day, that I stayed at home most of the time and sleep (it is such a wonderful day to sleep…..and then I was thinking of what to blog next when I thought of my bag..something that is close to me physically... daily…I carry it to work ….in the train, in the bus…to Jurong house…and back to Simei..everywhere practically….I carry it to functions as well like the recent graduation DnD…so I might as well as blog something on it as well..also in line with ME policy that we are encourage to share as much as possible…wherever we can…but the weakness in me is that I can’t do a F2F (Face to Face) sharing as good as a eSharing…so that is why we chicken out when we were approach to be the presenting couple for ME…time factor is one thing…but whether you are comfortable doing it is another…coz we believe that if we are not comfortable doing it, we will not be able to contribute effectively and do a good job (we may end up doing more harm than good to ME)…so that is why we chose to blog…eSharing is the way to go for us...it is 24/7..also you can chose not read it or to read it anytime, anywhere you like...

Oops..sorry for the side track…now back to my little bag. Here is my bag:
To begin with, my bag…is an Adidas sling bag costing only SGD60…
And here are the contents:

In it what can be found is my rosary (this one is actually my mother’s rosary..one of the very few that was not cremated with her during her funeral) I have a blue rosary as well which she gave to me many years back and I kept it by my bedside. So I have 2 rosaries. (Mummy says must carry rosary wherever I go…so carrying it becomes more of a habit)

Next, a packet of Watson’s wet tissues…comes in handy especially when you need to refresh your tired face and when you could not find a toilet to wash your face..

…and next is of course my Sony MP3 player costing about $100. Bought end of last year after the previous one that I had (also a Sony) was damaged after a can of drink put together with it leak into it)..

Then comes my OMRON thermometer…started during SARS days when the govt encourage everyone to carry one…so this is my personal thermometer which I have been carrying since..
In my bag, also a name card holder containing some of my name cards…handy when comes to paying a visit to my Industrial Attachment students…need to touch base with their company supervisors..
Then, there is also a Parker Roller Ballpen given to me by my past graduated students few years back..can’t remember which year already.
Then to kill time in the train instead of staring into each other’s faces, I have with me this book which is currently still my favourite book…Complete Spiritual Doctrine of St Therese of Lisieux
My umbrella..which about the lightest that I have experience..comes free with the Vit C Redoxan that I bought sometime back…essential for me as I am person who sort of walk quite a fair bit.daily....and the steps that I take per day is monitored using this step monitor (courtesy of NYP)…also in my bag.
....ah yah...nearly forgot to mention, in my bag is also...my tablet PC (courtesy of NYP)..I use it to blog most of the time....
...coz it is so convenient when it comes to downloading of photos...see the SD slot here:

That is about all that I have in my little humble bag….. It is now close to 1am, now I go to bed....my sweetie is still reading her book...yawn! yawn!
Good nite folks!
