bag hunter

I was merrily minding my own business at a train station, when this guy suddenly cut across my path. I was pissed, but I was soon shocked and amazed when I saw his BAG. It was a backpack and I managed to catch a glimpse of the brand.

Freitag.

*EVIL GRIN*

So the ever resourceful internet googler that I am, found the Freitag website and could not contain my drool at the bags they have on offer. Ranging from messenger style (sling) to shopping totes to BACKPACKS, to mac sleeves and other paraphernalia. ( I managed to spell that right!)

Anyhoooooo. Clicked on the backpack icon and I soon found this lovely little number.
Behold. The glorious sight!

Not is it only in my favourite shade of kelly green, it's made of eco-friendly recycled truck sheet covers, it even had my initials emblazoned on the front (how freaking often does that happen!!!!!!) AND it's expandable too!! My eyez were poppinz just like how the clouds were a poppinz all day yesterday. 'The more I learn, the MORE I love, the more my heart can't give enough, that's when I love you, I love you, no matter what~~~~~~' lol. :Þ

(UPDATE: I just realised when it's expanded, it's got NT as the other letters as well! Good grief! What are the chances of that happening!!)

That's when I decided to check my beloved xe.com to check out the exchange rate, and since I had no idea what CHF stood for. Ok, so I found out that it was swiss francs AND that it cost about $330 sgd including shipping. =_=. ROARRRR!!!!

I also found out that there's a shop in Sg that retails Freitag; it's called Actually (29A Seah St). Considering how sometimes or rather, most of the time, online shopping is cheaper than actual shopping (hehe), I googled the price of the bag in Sg. It was $397. HMMMMM. *GRIN*

I am so torn. To ship or not to shop? That is the question. I've been looking for a nice bagpack since erm. many many many months back. I think 2 years in fact, but I've kept quiet about it till that Freitag man passed me by.

I just love how the bag screamed at me among all the baggie choices on the website. Haha. CA! CA! NT NT!! mememememememe!!~~~~ (Ok can some one suggest what GG would actually stand for? They're the blue letters on the expanded front of the bag.)


This is another colour combi choice I think is heaps cool too. Very graphic with the black/red/white/grey colour scheme, and perhaps it's a bit easier to play matchy-matchy with everyday wear. But it somehow reminds me of a marlboro cigarette pack as well. I think it's from the 2nd pic, the little portrait rectangle with the diagonal stripes.

Ho hum.. I am Kong Kum when it comes to shopping. bleargh.
I shall dream happy dreams with me prancing around with my Freitag. Hahaha.
It's already 1.30am! Eeps! Nighto Everyone-o!

I shall pretend to throw a hissy fit at N tomorrow. I WANNTTTTTTT!!!!!!! MEOWWW!!
Hurhurhurhurhurhur. Of course you wouldn't think I'm like that...





Would u? :Þ
