Fun times at work
We work hard. We play hard. Being a crew is never glamorous. Thank god i have plenty of crazy friends to keep me alive at 30,000 feet.
My new Lojel cabin bag.
And so finally I managed to grab some time to get my cabin bag. 3 weeks of lugging around in my trusty hand carry bag has caused my right shoulder (Im a right-habd person) to ache. Never ever underestimate shoulderache or whatever aches that happen. Results are painful. Im on salonpas right now. It's ugly, makes me feel 90 and sucks like shit.
And so I was in a dilemma that almost made my friend died of waiting. (Never go shopping with me unless you are born on 25 February) I had a few choices:
1. A HEBE cabin bag that costs SGD65. looks good, perfect size but wheels looks like it may give way anytime I bang it against the cruel airport kerbs. The brand name wise, not so sure if it sounds glamarous enough but doesn't really turn me on that much. Failed.
2. A Pierre Cardin at SGD148. Sleek surface. Strong and sturdy. When everything seemed fine, I realised the pull-up handle is the kind that has to be retracted from the side. Fromm perhaps 100km away I will look like im walking a stiff bulldog. Very nice, but failed.
3. Echolac at SGD79. Perfect everything, and then realised I already have one at home with a broken left wheel. So if i had wanted to buy a similar one, I could have spent lesser getting the damaged wheel replaced. Then again I need to use the bag tomorrow. No time for repairs and sentimental value. Failed.
4. Lojel at SGD 117.
Perfect size.
Perfect handle.
Perfect glam factor
Perfect price.
PASSED! 10/10
