"What's in my purse?" with Credit Card Insider

Just showing off my new Doraemon Tote Bag that my mummy had gotten for me during her trip to Indonesia with her friends! 

If anyone of you remembered me uploading a What's in my bag(PARODY) video on my Youtube Channel that people asking me that I am being funny. Yup that's what the word parody mean. So now, I am showing off what are the main things I will put into my tote bag when I am heading out with my friends!

*still continue to show off*

If I am using a tote bag out, I will definitely bring will be : Wallet, Umbrella, Water Bottle, Makeup Pouch and my EZ-link Card.

My orange student pass (AKA EZ-Link card): I need to bring this out so that I can pay for my transport. This student pass in general, is known as compass pass (in Canada), just that we have different kinds of EZ-Link card - Senior Citizen, Adult, Student, University, National Service Men (I know I got this term wrong... Sorry) and also Child. Different cards are entitled to different price for concession. 

My New York New York Water Bottle: One of my aunts got it for me and my sister during one of the Christmas celebration. I always bring along a water bottle to keep myself hydrated at all time. Furthermore, having your own non- disposable water bottle you can avoid spending money on purchasing minerals water from retail shop or getting yourself Starbucks. One tall size starbucks is around SGD $6, just think about how can you use this $6 into other uses? You can save it. In addition, water is a cheapest beauty and facial care product.


Wallet: The black wallet is the first wallet that I have been using since Secondary 3 (when I was 15 years old) until now I am already 19 years old. I got the wallet in The Wallet Shop where you definitely can find your desired wallet with many card slots! It is a must to have many card slots in my wallet.

I have many discounts card and membership for stores like YAMAHA, Golden Village, ATM Card. and of cos some other random cards that you will deem to get discounts and offers. I've also learnt a lot about saving money when I was in Canada, will share with everyone of you soon! :) I seriously love my wallet the most because of the cards I have inside my wallet, I get many discounts whenever I head to a shopping mall with mainstream shops. Discounts = Saving Money = Get to buy more things too

My wine bottle Umbrella: I actually got this kind of umbrella before it even got into a trend for that pathetic short period. I got this umbrella during a charity fair, it is really a special umbrella to me and IT IS BLUE IN COLOR! I will never get drench in the rain.
My floral make up pouch: I like my urban decay naked basic pallet I bought in USA. I was really shocked to see that price for urban decay basic went lower when I got back in Singapore. I got this really nice make up pouch in Daiso is it is just SGD$2 ! Cheap and lasted for already 2- 3 years. 
Most of the time, I will only bring along my MAC brush set, BB cream, Mascara (I used to use Maybelline's Volume Express Mascara cos it is so good but I cannot seems to find it anywhere anymore... I have to change to using its duo express curl mascara.. lol ) and also it is a must to bring along lip balm to moisturize your lips at all time! Keeping a nice glowing and looking skins will save you a lot of time and effort in looking good for me with just these few items. Who says you need expensive make up products to look marvelous? 

I just want to share with you all how I save money as a teenager and look nice! You don't need to splurge all of your money and starve yourself just for luxury items. Trust me, behind close doors some of your friends who might look really glamorous in front of you but turns up they actually do starve themselves just to get branded items and splurge around during the holidays. I would rather advise you to get a decent part time job and save the money to get things that you really want NOT things that you want to get to impress others.
