I am guilty of probably owning more bags than my wife and after a long search for a leather bag that is old, still in good condition, of the right size, smelling bad and doesn’t look too ‘wow’ … my prayers were answered when the famous Mijonju (you must be shot if you love analogue/toy cameras and do not know him already but anyway … he’s the famous young man who gives us The Mijonju Show) put this old leather bag (one that he bought used too) up for sale. I immediately buzzed him and within hours it was on the way from Tokyo to Singapore.
There were 3 Lomo buttons pinned to the front but I removed them. See the cool camera drawn on it? I suppose it was drawn by Mijonju and it sure looks neat!
A little late to be taking photos … so I’ll use these photos courtesy of Mijonju. Hope he doesn’t mind. 😀
While walking back from a ‘puff’ at work, I saw the postman carrying a box … walking into the lift. I happily held the lift for open for him and I was super happy to see my name on it! I couldn’t possibly hijack the postman … so I walked slowly behind him and followed him all the way back to my office. 😀
I opened up the box … and almost fainted. Hahahaha! There was this old leather stuff smell that zapped me for a moment. No … not the yummy smell of new leather. This one … ermmm … doesn’t smell good even after sprinkled with some sweat from my idol, Mijonju. So now I’ve to put it to a ‘de-smelling’ process by putting in a pack of those charcoal thingie and hope the smell goes away soon. Hahahaha!
On one side … you can find the name ‘MIJONJU’ written on it. Of course I do not mind having my idol’s name on the bag (and I can eBay it for like 10 times the price someday when he gets even more famous) … but I am worried he might be upset if one day someone walk up to me, thinking I am Mijonju … and say ‘Hey Mijonju! What happend to you? How the hell did you get so fat? Where did your hair go? You ain’t handsome anymore!’. Muwhahahaha!
The contents of this bag in the photo above are not mine. 🙂 They belong to Mijonju.
I promise myself to stay off the camera bag buying habit for at least a year from now.
