Day 11. What’s in your bag? + old people

Hello guys, today I'm going to split my post into two sections. One is my "what's in your bag" from the blog challenge I am doing and also a little rant about old people in public change rooms.

Let's get started:

 

This is the bag I use for school which I bought in Malaysia at the start of last year. I have used it for a whole year already, lugging around a ton of stuff and it is still in mint condition! 

And the contents:

 

Apple 13' Macbook with material casing

(ignore the slippers in the background, I am supposed to take them outside to wear but haven't done that yet)

I have five classes per day so I take one notebook per class.

Also in the picture are my garage door keys or else I will be stuck outside my house after school.

  

Other items :  a (random) pad, my wallet, hand sanitizer, tissue packet, Casio scientific calculator and Casio graphing calculator.

 

Palm cards for my human biology class. Can you see the "translation" definition there? This reminds me, I forgot all of my cell terminology so I must study them later.

Isn't my angry bird paperclip so cute? :3 

Pencil case that I put my pens, pencils, eraser, USB, highlighters, protractor etc. I stuff it to the brim with all that good stuff - I love stationery (perhaps it's beginning to be an unhealthy obsession).

 

As well as my backpack, I also carry this cute Snoopy tote for my textbooks, miscellaneous folders and other stuff like that.

Moving on...

Here is my non-school bag for my other stuff - tuition etc. 

It is a Longchamp LePliage tote which I bought from Galeries Lafayette in Paris when we stopped for a day in France on our Europe trip.

 

It looks black in the above picture but in reality it is a dark purple - sorry for the poor camera quality!

PS: this is the large size with long shoulder handles

 

 Inside: a red folder with sheet protectors for my chemistry and physics data sheets, a Pooh bear notebook, a cheap scientific calculator from eBay, pencil case and a pink pouch (because my tissues and pads keep getting lost in the bag as there are no pockets).

I also have a venetian mask magnet I'm going to give my friend as a souvenir from Europe.

And last but not least, in both of my bags I will always try to remember to bring my trusty phone. It is a Sony Ericsson T715a which I have had since May 2010. Eh, it's nothing fancy like an iPhone or a Samsung Galaxy but it serves the important purpose - being a phone to call and text. If I want to listen to music, I always have my iPod touch anyway so no point in getting a high-end phone.

My hand looks so ugly here, like a big meaty sausage arm with a tiny hand. In real life though, I tend to get comments on how small my wrists are, which I inherited from my mum. Strange, maybe it's the camera angle or something along those lines.

-------------------------

Anyway! I have something else to talk about - Old people in public changing rooms. This week and last week, I have been going swimming on every weekday. However, something new happened this week - this bunch of eldery women (around 60-70 years old in my eyes) always are changing in the bathroom whenever I go in there. What's more disturbing is, they are BARE, no clothes at all and just talk casually amidst each other as if nobody else is there. Yes, I do understand it is a change room but there is no reason to be walking around the change room fully bare while young children are also changing less than a metre away from them - and exchanging gawking looks.

Please...for safety of my eyes and many others, please at least turn your back to the wall and then change so that we don't have a full-on real-life display of the female anatomy *cringes*.

Maybe changing in front of everyone is a value instilled by the older generation. I heard somewhere that in the past, families used to take baths together - reminds me of Roman public baths. Even though they are not embarrassed in casually changing in front of people, the older generation's fashion sense is much more conservative than today's generation - especially girls around my age. Seriously, somebody needs to pull up all the girl's shirts and pull down their skirts at my school - they don't realize it, but they are certainly conveying the message that they want people to look at their body.

Some people are just so stupid so here's a scenario:
Girl A: *sits down with her boob's escaping from her shirt and skirt covering her butt by 1 cm*
Bunch of guys: *gawking and then move away*
Girl A: Guys are so retarded and perverted! They keep staring at my chest and trying to look at my butt!

Correction. You are the retarded one dumbass. By unbuttoning your shirt till we can see half your bra and by rolling up your skirt a bazillion times, you are clearly asking for it. If you are so concerned about guys peeking at your "skin" then go and buy an Arabian black cloth and hide in it! Somebody slap them please.

Gosh. I'm not telling anyone to go Mormon or anything but people really need to cover up - especially in school! Please dress yourself properly for the occasion; School does not equal the beach!

Sigh, I didn't intend to start talking about stupid girls from my old lady discussion but it somehow just flowed out of me. Let's hope tomorrow I have something more uplifting to talk about.

Time for a nap. I slept way too late last night and I woke up at 7 AM this morning to go swimming. Good afternoon.
