New Stationery!
2 February 2009 Monday | 12:58 | Platform 9¾

I rediscovered the joy of stationery shopping today. I must have had blown much of my pocket money buying writing materials back then. Never mind that silver or golden ink cannot be used in examinations, or that “The Shaker” was more expensive than other mechanical pencils. And just who was the one who came up with the transparent rings you plaster on perforated paper. Complete waste of time and money.

For two weeks, I have been going to school with a single pen in my pencil case. Not anymore.

    that shaker pen was classic.

    it was like the IT pen, have it in your pencil case and you are considered c-o-o-l.

    You are blessed that you do not have to work in an office cubicle, dealing with torn docs and never ending filing :)

    Is that Pilot G2 pen? The ink finishes too quickly for inkpens, imo. I prefer using uni-ball signo or Pilot Neo-Gel pens. :P
