Whenever we browse fashion magazines, it’s common to find this interesting feature on ‘What’s in my Bag<\/i>‘ which offers a sneak peek into some famous celebrities’ bag.  Adeline, The Accidental Mom Blogger<\/a> has started this interesting linky and I am here to join in the fun.<\/p>\n

This is the bag which I bring to work daily. It’s a brown Kate Spade Puff Stevie<\/b> which I bought from USA 5 years ago. I like it that it’s roomy, hardy, casual and chic.  The large zipper helps me to secure everything snugly. Its dark brown hue also matches almost any outfit I pick. I rarely am able to find a bag I like so much so when it’s time to retire this one, I dunno what I’m gonna do…<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Inside, you can find: <\/p>\n

1. My Pink Coach Wallet<\/b>
a gift from the hubs when he went to Philadelphia on conference in March 2012 which is getting a tad bulky with the many credit cards I carry.  That’s why I have been trying to say a firm ‘No’ to new cards being offered to me (such as ANZ Bank). <\/p>\n

2. My Staff Pass (on a Lanyard)<\/b>
which gives me access to enter my office especially on mornings when I start work early at 8am.<\/p>\n

3. A Cupcake Motif Notebook <\/b>
which was a souvenir from a colleague who went back to UK to visit her in-laws. I love it very much and have been using it to jot down my thoughts and to do list for the day.<\/p>\n

4. I would usually have a book inside to keep me occupied during my commute to work. Currently I’m finishing ‘Shepherding a Child’s Heart’ by Tedd Tripp<\/b>. Highly recommended for all parents.<\/p>\n

5. My white portable Mili Mobile Phone Charger<\/b> from www.iphonemili.com<\/a>. My fully-charged iphone can hardly last me for half a day so whenever I am out for meetings or workshops, this is my life-saver. <\/p>\n

6. A packet of Fisherman’s Friend<\/b> (extra strong lozenges) to soothe the throat.<\/p>\n

7. Small packet of Carlsons Baby Wipes<\/b>.  I like this brand as they are moist, unscented and relatively cheap. I try to stock up during the John Little sale. <\/p>\n

8. Instant Hand Sanitizer<\/b> from Dettol (kills 99.99% germs). This and the wipes are essential ‘must-have’ item for all Moms.<\/p>\n

9. Pocket Tissues<\/b> from Watsons or Giants (whatever is available).<\/p>\n

Inside the small zipped compartment (hidden from view), I have:  <\/p>\n

10.  A small nude-pink Lip Gloss<\/b> from Shu Uemura (the only make up I carry everywhere, from my fav cosmetic brand).<\/p>\n

11. A small tube of Mopiko<\/b> (you never know when you’ll need it and it does provide instant relief when I sustain a mozzie bite, which I so often do).<\/p>\n

12. 4 Pens<\/b> (Gosh, didn’t realise I carry so many!)<\/p>\n

13. A lone Dettol Waterproof Plaster <\/b>(for that accidental papercut or emergency).<\/p>\n

14. A small Scandisk Thumb Drive <\/b>where I store some of the important work documents (such as the PowerPoint Presentation which I’ve to deliver tomorrow).<\/p>\n

15. A custom-made magnetic NameTag<\/b> which I’m required to wear for official work functions.<\/p>\n

16. A tab of Danzen Tablets<\/b> (my way of self-medicating to prevent my sore throat from getting worse).  <\/p>\n

17. My Ezylink Card<\/b> and Home Access Door Card<\/b> (which I cannot do without). <\/p>\n

So here you go, my bag in a glance.  Nothing too fancy but it does reflects who I am – a practical, fuss-free, busy working Mom. Essentially, I just want to complete my job well, as efficiently and as swiftly as I can, so I can come home to be with my family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
