How Many Bags Do You Own?

  This one, the ladies will win hands-down! 

  Let's see... I have at least12 bags, including handbags, sling bags, a gym bag and a haversack.  And that's what I've amassed whilst here in Melbourne. 

  I think I have at least 9 bags back home in Singapore, waiting for me to ship them over. 

  And then I have about 19 reusable grocery bags.       Erm... OK, having and using reusable grocery bags are Green, but one person owning 16 bags isn't exactly environmentally-conscious!    In my defence, I do use a few of those bags as 'storage'. 

  Everytime I tell myself, "No more handbags!", I walk down Bridge Road, and see yet another cutie...    At the rate I'm going, I have to be an octopus with a bag on each tentacle to fully utilise ALL the bags in my lifetime. 

   

  So, please go ahead and show me that I'm not the worst!

  Eh... what do you mean by "1 bag every guy should have"?  Is there something I'm missing out on?

  i don't dare to .. answer this question... err.. but here goes

   

  at the last estimate.. the number was about 40......err bu i think closer to .. err.. 50 if you really include ALL BAGS

   

  1/4 would be pouches - waist pouches, water prooof pouches, close to skin money waist pouches

   

  1/4 ladies stuff - handbags, sling bags, hand held little basket bags

   

  1/4 sports stuff - big backpacks, small backpacks, medium sized backpacks, waterproof bag packs, laptop backpacks....travel big bags.....

   

  1/4 free/supercheap/recycling bags - free bags from goody bags and all.. supercheap/recycling bags from supermarkets.. cos I put my work in those bags...

   

  *cough* but I don't THROW away bags.. mebbe that's why.. I've had many of these for many years see.....but good condition leh.. can't bear to throw.

  No, lah!!  Not THAT kinda 'bag lady' but the classy handbag-toting lady. 

  OK, in order to prevent misunderstandings, I take back her title.

  I have given many away to the rainbow club, those were goody ones who were given to me by the artists (who were given to them by the fans....there was once we packed about 20 trashbags of them..)

  Let's see.... a 35-liter Outgear backpack. Its original purpose was for short backpacking trips, but ever since my normal backpack got ripped, I'm using this one for everyday school use.

  On top of that, I have a small Overland waterbag with a 2-liter reservoir.

  And.... that's it.

  Btw, technically, the above bags shouldn't be classified as YOUR bags cos:

   

  sports stuff  - if husband uses a few of them backpacks too, then it is shared property

   

  free/supercheap/recycling bags - if also used for household e.g. grocery shopping and by husband, also considered "shared" bags not your bags

   

  Lucky got loophole ah
