if nadd did her surprise purchase - i did my quasi-surprise purchase yesterday.

all this while, i would be running around carrying my wallet (not purse, aye!) and handphone in my hand. which explains why most of my older handphones are small in size. but then amir got me stitch-0 – and due to my previous run-in with pickpockets and the lot – amir thought it appropriate that i start to wise up and get me a handbag.

WHAT?? A HANDBAG??!!!

friends would attest to the fact that i am de very hard to convince to get into fashion – my shoes shalt not be too womanly, my outfit shalt not look so ladylike, my handbags – what handbag?

blogmages/old_hag.jpgend of last year though, i relented slightly by getting me this bag (which could not be dignified with the term handbag). i can just manage to squeeze in my wallet & stitch-0 and nuthin else.

then amir gave me my mini – which tested the seams of that bag. a few times – the mini tumbled out of the opening as the flap is only secured by velcro – and the velcro patch is now worn out. amir then repeated the request he made when we first got stitch-0 – go get a handbag.

ARGHHHHHHH~!! noOoooOoOoOOoOoOOOo!

many many weeks later – i finally got fed up with the old bag (the old hag) and hv been scouting for le perfect bag for my intent & purpose. made a number of trips to suria – the hags bags are mostly toooooooo woman-ish or just wa-hayyy ugly for my tastes.

i did however detect a spark of chemistry between me and this petite morgan bag. i wish i could take a snapshot of it – but suria klcc new rules – ur not allowed to take photos apart from on the ground & concourse areas.

though purchasing it wouldn’t burn a whole in me wallet – but as the whole intent & purpose for any bag that i end up buying is to store my 2 most important items – it seems a bit too much to invest in that morgan handbag.

blogmages/new_hag.jpg so i resigned myself to continuing to use the old hag until it breaks down into minutae pieces of fabric when i walked passed the costume jewellery section of isetan. saw some bags hanging there – of lively colors and designs – which of course i would never buy – and found in my ever-so-casual glance (i wouldn’t want to be caught dead browsing near these sections, for some reason), this gem of a bag.

color – black (my favourite color for bags)
size – slightly larger than the old hag (as demonstrated by me placing my astro decoder remote beside the two)
pricetag – a steal? i wouldn’t know – it’s not as if i shop for handbags every month. but less than the amount i spent at cpk hving lunch for two.

i think i should be happy with this til the morgan thing goes on sale (yeah, i am that cheap)
