ManBag
After a hiatus of 3 months, I finally went for my swim with SK. I was worried that I had forgotten how to swim. That my movements would be awkward and I'd forget how to breathe. Well, I didn't forget. I guess it's like riding a bike. But I wouldn't know about that. Perhaps it's like sex? Yeah, I guess one would never forget. But then, swimming is not as hard-wired as sex. :P. Anyway, I only swam for like 40 mins before I felt like I had no more thrust. It was like I was static in the water. My spindly arms and legs had called it a day. The kids were also getting rowdy and a pair of little girls were giggling at SK and I the whole time, so we decided to leave.
We headed to MV to have dinner with a friend at Kim Gary. The place was packed as usual.
Waiter: Smoking or non-smoking?
Moi: Non-smoking.
Waiter: We have an opening at the smoking section at the moment, do you mind?
Moi: Is anyone smoking there at the moment?
Waiter: Errr....
Oh well. I'd rather wait. It's bad enough shoveling taste enhancers, permitted food conditioners and colourings into your mouth, so I'd rather not kill my lung cells at the same time. The table we were shown to had an excellent view of the smoking section in the open area. Directly in my line of vision, a guy was sitting at the table with a woman's handbag slung at his shoulder. He was holding onto it like it contained life-saving plasma. He would eat, talk and drink with it. I guess at one point in time, he caught me staring at him, so he put in on his lap. A weird scene. Please guys, if it doesn't go with your outfit, don't tote it. So salah.
After dinner, we shopped a little and I finally bought my most expensive pair of shorts (cropped pants sounds so classy) at MYR59.50. I so hate to admit that the price of shorts is on par with long pants. Headed home and rested. The next day, my calves and inner thighs were screaming for muslce-relaxant. I was walking like I had some kind of sex marathon. :P.
Anyway, what does one keep in a manbag?

@Will:
We have too many snatch thieves here. Losing an SLR can be a traumatizing experience. I wont look, I'll likely stare. Haha.
