It seemed to be a double whammy today. Somebody's little brother was 'robbed' after a drunken stupor. Everything was gone inclusive of the bag. This tote bag (the one with a tiny torch) was from Porter. (from Japan). Mind you, it wasnt from Porter International (from Taiwan). I had a similar version but it was from Porter International.
This bag carried many sentiments as it was pressie for somebody on this birthday and it was not cheap. It costed me half a thousand and was bought on impulse even though I didnt have enough money at that day.
My heart is broken into a million pieces. Peps may say that it's only a bag. It's not the monetary part but it was priceless in terms of sentiments.
PS : I could feel that the bag is on its way to the incinerator or ebay. I also dun understand why young peps like to 'borrow' their older siblings' stuff just to 'show off' or having to create a certain status even though they maynt have the money to buy. Dun even show any emotion when the item is spoilt(& sheepishly returning it to the original owner / quietly disposed it) or lost. Coz it's simply not their money.
Why is 'face' so important in Asian society?
PPS : To the person who stolen this bag ~ yes, you think you've gained yourself a great deal of 'good stuff' but do note that Karma will come and find you in mysterious ways.
