Tagged! (yes, again)

I've been tagged by Lucius Maximus, whose blog I visit rather religiously for its down-to-earth commentaries on the recent election. It's not exactly high brow the things he's tagging me for, but as I'm not exactly as smart as Ipretend to be sometimes, it is befitting I reckon.

So it's about what's in my wallet.

An introduction to my wallet. It's a grey Mandarina Duck, a birthday gift from the ever generous Tall Dane (who's out travelling in Argentina at the moment, luv, remember what I said, don't drink too much, wink). It's from the same collection as my sling bag which I bought in Venice, under the influence of the Tall Dane aka Evil European Slave Driver (as I am the Cheap Asian Labour to her) which I bought before realizing that I was quite in a deep financial shit (full realization came when I got back to London, but that's another looooooooong story). She got it in Turin. Hmm, just realized that my Ducks were all bought in Italy where of course, things are much cheaper.

So what's in the wallet that I really treasure?

1. £5
2. RM 200, not in main wallet compartment. Emergency money.
   
3. $6 US (from my travel to Vietnam. I can't remember why it's there in my new wallet, as it was not there in my old one)
4. 50 Kroner from Christmas with the Jorgensens in Denmark. Why do I still have it? I reckon it's because it has an image of Isak Dinesen (Karen Blixen) whose adventure in running a coffee plantation in South Africa I really admire. I admire her spirit and her courage and her sense of wonder. Such an inspiration.
5. Student cards from various institution I was privileged enough to attend.
6. 4 credit cards, because I'm deep in debt.
7. 1 debit card, which balance I monitor closely because of a traumatic year.
8. My Malaysian Driving License, which would expire in May this year. Also for some reason my L license. Thank you to first boyfriend for giving me a refresher driving lesson. I still keep the spare key to your car. Do you want it back? Do you still drive the ABF?
   
9. Youth hostel card. Because I travel cheap.
10. My Malaysian ID. Because I'm used to carrying it back at home and it made itself useful whenever people want to check my age. Specially here where I look about 12 years old.
11. A Nectar card. For shopping for groceries at Sainsbury's.
12. My Malaysian SIM card.
13. 1 Danish Krone which came with the wallet. The Tall Dane said that in her culture you shouldn't give a wallet as a present without putting some money into it.
14. Some passport photos of moi. A passport photo of my mom in black and white in her youth, which people sometimes confuse with me.
15. A ring from an ex. It's still there because I just moved it from one wallet to another without thinking much. Now that I see it again, perhaps I should ditch it. I'll try to remember it the next time I'm near the Thames.
16. The warranty card for the wallet.
17. And of course, some receipts! I am a girl after all as dear Enche Lucius has kindly pointed out.

Whom should I tag?

All those in my blog roll. You know who you are, although of course some of them probably don't even know they're there. Take Farish Noor for example. I don't think he'll write about the content of his wallet on The Other Malaysia any time soon. Or the Perlis mufti come to think of that.

Hmm, OK lah. I tag:

GM

47

Magenta (or have you been tagged already?)

Kristian (because your blog is so dead)

Ila of Yorkshire

Have fun people! Happy Easter to all!
