In the last few months, I have been dreaming of a new Chanel bag. I know, I talk about all the frivolity of branded bag buying and you know what? I don’t even go out anywhere to show off a Chanel bag…….Absolutely nowhere. Hello, I don’t even go out! The only places I see are T1’s school, the homes of my family and the supermarket. Sometimes, the market or the shopping mall. Does that ever warrant a Chanel bag? No, I didn’t think so.

BUT

I have done enough charity last year to justify a new bag. Even a Chanel bag. See? That is exactly why I love giving away money to charity……*grins*

I have worked really hard and truly deserve a new Chanel bag.

My dreams keep telling me that I need to get a new Chanel bag.

People say that getting a new Chanel bag will contribute to the country’s economy.

My bags in the closet keep moaning that they haven’t made any new friends in a whole year. A whole year!

I am dying to wear a new Chanel bag with slippers. Birkenstocks and Chanel, can? Or Japanese Ah Keong slippers and Chanel better?

The price of a new Chanel bag rises by about a thousand every year. If I wait, it will keep rising………bad move.

It is an investment with a high resale value although I would never dream of selling my new Chanel bag.

At least I’m not dreaming of an Hermes Birkin bag!!!

The caviar leather on a Chanel bag will long outlive me thus I can hand it down as a family heirloom

There you have it. 10 bloody good reasons why I should get a brand new Chanel bag. And to think I’ve been dreaming of it for months, it must be fated. The last time I had such dreams, it was over the Neverfull (5 x cheaper). And despite the fact that everyone had it and it was so common and boring, I still loved it and love it to this day. I will feel the same for that new Chanel bag. I know it. I can feel it in my bones.

And by the way, look what I found today at Bagskaki? My little T1 modeling an old Christian Dior classic! She is quite a good model, if I may say so myself *proud* – Please consider this Christian Dior classic because it is now at an unaffordable price of 7-8k  if you want it brand new.

Back to my new Chanel bag……

So whilst having breakfast with my friend yesterday morning, she told me, you totally deserve a new Chanel bag. What colour do you want? I’ll get my friends to order it for you from Paris (the cheapest place to buy one). And I said, hang on! I can’t get you to order it before the Hubs puts his cash down? She said, No, just get it. Then he’d have no choice but to pay for it as he’d be so ‘malu’ not to pay for it. Ahahahaha!!!! She is definitely a genuine friend, one for life.

I told the Hubs last night that someone felt I really deserved a brand new Chanel bag.

*silence*

He was very composed.

*sound of rustling leaves*

He knows how much a brand new Chanel bag would cost and finally said, “That’s a whole years school fees for your daughter. Do you want to take her out of school?”

o_O

“No, of course not. But for all the work that I do, don’t you think I deserve one?”

He didn’t nod.

*sound of rustling leaves*

I raised my eyebrows for an answer. He said, “You certainly deserve one……..but not right now.”

My heart dropped and shattered into a million pieces.

Then he asked as though he heard the crash, “What colour do you want?”

Half of the million heart pieces miraculously lifted and started gluing themselves back together……

“I want silver but they don’t do silver anymore, only sometimes, as and when. I have also changed my mind from a Maxi Jumbo to just a Maxi. This means cheaper for you. I saw the Maxi Jumbo and it really is too big for my short, stunted frame. So I’ll settle for the Maxi.”

No response.

I made the first move…….“What colour do you think I should get?”

*sound of rustling leaves*

“I think you should stick to classic black. Silver just looks cheap to me. Forget white or light colours.”

There is hope! There is hope!The heart is jumping!

I shall pray very hard every night. For all the starving children of the world.

Geez, what were you thinking?

Tsk-Tsk.
