The unbearable lightness of the wallet

This entry is another one of those classics that I think I have to blog, just so that it'll be 'posted' for posterity.

Anyway, last Wednesday, I met up with my 'evil twin' (those of you in the know will certainly know who she is) for dinner to catch up and all. There we were having a most expensive plate of 'choy sum' and grilled sambal stingray, and we prattled on while we were eating....Of course, not with our mouths full of food (which uncivilised planet do you reckon we come from?).

Right smack in the midst of the conversation, Jacq revealed that she was eyeing this particular bag from Louis Vuitton. I did a double take and my jaw just dropped. Why? I've been ribbed mercilessly and derided (ok that was an exaggeration but you get the idea) by my friends for being 'brand conscious', especially since I own an authentic Louis Vuitton wallet. And Jacq had also ribbed me somewhat for being 'atas' (a.k.a high-browed). And there she was, mentioning she was eyeing this Louis Vuitton bag. At that moment, I had a revelation.....totally told myself that I had to blog this for posterity. Ha ha...I am not the only one who knows how to enjoy the finer things in life among my circle of church friends. But that aside, I think I am past the LV phase, I hope or it'll dent my wallet even more.

Here's to you, Jacq. Welcome to the club...ha ha
