what's in my pencil case - 2nd time

My current pencil case is .. tadaaaah.. Nomadic PE-17 !!

This is one of coolest pencil case I ever knew. I have also the famous, best seller pencil case of Nomadic PE-09 --which I don't use--  as I'm gonna keep it until I have a spare to use.

I initially learned about this pencil case from JetPens website. Then, I search the internet about this product which only resulted to get me a headache. Don't believe me? Go to their official website and get lost. I mean, feeling totally lost.

Anyway, I bought them on Tokyu Hands in Tokyo. They were about 1,000 Yen each.

What I like about this pencil case :
1. It holds many MANY pens and pencils.. and other stuffs. As a student, I need to store all the essentials in one place. And... this pencil case is able to do that.
2. It's very sturdy, yet very light. The material seems to be strong enough to hold everything.
3. The colour is very nice.

I think I will also make a haul here. So here goes what inside my pencil case.

persiapan kuliah diri sendiri

Sebentar lagi masa perkuliahan dimulai. Mulai semester ini, saya juga akan kuliah lagi. Yap. Back to school. I'm quite nervous and excited at the same time. Mudah-mudahan masih sanggup mengikuti perkuliahan. Mudah2an otak masih nyampe. Mudah2an tenaga masih ada buat bolak-balik Depok-Salemba (plus hidup nomaden lagi, mungkin). Pfffttt.. bismillah.

However, the most interesting part of back to school is the stationery, of course! Apalagi ini buat diri sendiri hihihihi... Tapi namanya juga kuliah tingkat lanjut, jadinya nggak banyak yang warna warni ceria 'kali ya.. Lebih ke fungsional aja. Untuk versi sebelumnya tentang persiapan kuliah, bisa dibaca di tautan ini. As for me, here goes the list...

- Sticky notes

Masih ada banyak banget. Kebanyakan sih memang 3M Post-it notes.

- File folder / File note A5
Pakai yang ada dulu aja lah. Sekarang ini pakai file note Maruman SeptCouleur warna ungu. File note yang saya pilih adalah yang ukuran A5, dengan ring 20 dari bahan metalik.

- Loose leaf
Ukuran A5 sesuai ukuran ring binder. Kebetulan kemaren belinya kertas yang bergaris merek Paperline. Loh memangnya ada yang nggak bergaris? Ada. Ukuran A5 juga, putih polos seperti kertas hvs biasa, dengan 20 lubang. Ini pas banget kalo buat ngeprint materi kuliah atau catetan yang udah dirapihkan di komputer, trus langsung disatukan di file note.

- Bolpoin
Untuk sementara ini, berhubung bokek, pakai yang ada dulu aja. Multipen Bic 4-Color; Uniball 4&1 (4 colours and 1 mechanical pencil) 0.5 point; Frixion Ball Clicker 0.5 blue, black, and red; Uniball Jetstream warna pink dan ungu, dengan isi tinta masing-masing black and blue 0.38 point.

- Penghapus
Buat saya, penghapus paling handal saat ini adalah Mitshubishi Uni Boxy black eraser. Penghapus ini lembut saat menghapus pensil, nggak ngerusak kertas, tapi bersih sempurna.

- Correction tape
Untuk saat ini masih oke dengan correction tape merek Faber Castell QJR-506 warna pink ini. Bentuk barelnya nggak terlalu besar, sekitar ukuran spidol whiteboard, tapi pendek. Ada clickernya juga, jadi pita putih untuk correction-nya terlindungi kalo pas nggak dipakai.

- Highlighter
I don't really like to use highlighter. Usually I just underline the important words using ballpoint pens. Jadi, nggak ada yang bisa dibahas deh ya.

- Agenda / Planner
Wouuhoouuu... Nah kalo yang satu ini, beneran baru. Ini adalah agenda scolaire khas anak sekolah Prancis. Satu halaman per hari, jadi cukup luas buat nyatet tugas2, janjian ngerjain tugas, dll. Mudah2an beneran bertahan selama satu tahun akademik.

- Recorder (perekam)
Kayaknya bakal butuh alat yang satu ini. Bukan kemudian mengandalkan rekaman kuliah aja.. Perekam ini sebenarnya untuk membantu kalo ada yang terlewat dari catatan.

Sekarang, tinggal siapin mental dan energi aja buat kuliah. Allez, couraaaage !!

what's in my pencil case?

People might wondering.. what a stationery blogger has in his/her pencil case? Well.. stationery, of course.. haha :D Sure do. But the choices are sometime enormuous. So let me show you my stationery lineup.

First of all, THE pencil case. I used to have smaller pencil case (trousse) of LeSportsac.. but after some time, I think it's time to change a bit. Now I have a bigger pouch, which supposed to be a makeup pouch.. You know I never wear makeup everyday, so I re-purpose it as a pencil case. Nice.

Inside the pouch, there's a pocket on one side and two smaller pockets on the other side. I use them to store the usb flashdisks (one of them is OTG) and pencil leads.

I have several multicolour pens. Two of them are Bics, a pink Uniball Jetstream, a pink Pilot Frixion, and a blue Zebra pen. The Uniball and Zebra also has mechanical pen. There's also a pink Kurutoga pencil which mechanism makes the lead to stay sharp. I must admit, I haven't tried the Kurutoga for everyday note taking.

Several markers with each different needle point; from 0.1 to 0.5 and a calligraphy marker can also be found in my pencil case.

Other things are Boxy eraser, a whiteout (correction pen), Miffy mini ruler, a couple of highlighters, a Sakura Ballsign, a deep pink Stabilo 2in1 marker, a mini brush for water colour, a blue Faber-Castell permanent marker and  a couple of black Standard ballpoints.

Surprisingly, there's a tube of handcream in my pencil case. Should take it out. Oh, and a mini sewing kit in a mini green tube.

Well, now you know what's in my pencil case. How about yours? What do you have in your pencil case?

toko merbabu semarang

Di Jl. Pandanaran, Semarang, ada toko buku & alat tulis Merbabu. Tepatnya di dekat hotel Santika Premier. Sebenernya, tepat di samping Santika, ada juga toko buku Gramedia yang nampaknya lebih besar. Tapi saya suka ke toko buku / alat tulis yang nggak mainstream.. 'kali aja ada stationery yang menarik untuk dibahas. Inilah hasilnya. 

Di toko Merbabu, saya beli buku notes cap kera isi 24 lembar dan 48 lembar. Ukurannya pas setelapak tangan orang dewasa. Aroma kertasnya sangat khas :) *nggak penting ya* dan layout kertas bagian dalamnya bergaris biru sederhana. Ada juga penghapus pensil (buat koleksi) beraneka ragam dengan harga sangat terjangkau. Selain itu, saya beli cap (stamp) dengan format "To - From" yang cocok buat dijejakkan di amplop atau kartu pos. Hari gini, masih ngirim surat? Yes, I still love to do that. Nah, last but not least, rautan pensil berbentuk kura-kura. How cute they are. Kura-kura yang warna pink-kuning (kiri) ada pemutar di sampingnya, sehingga dia bisa berjalan. Sedangkan kura-kura yang berwarna biru (kanan) nggak bisa jalan, tapi ada lubang-lubang di bagian tempurungnya untuk meletakkan pensil. Those pencil shapeners are for my sis as she loves turtles so much.

See ya around..

cute erasers

See how cute they are? Guess what.. they're all erasers in the shape of Elephant, Tiger, Cats and Dogs. I have them as travel souvenir from pak bos. He bought them in a shop in harbourfront Singapore. Don't remember which shop but I definetely love to go there one day and get me some more cute stuff. 

Oh, and I won't use them as eraser, for sure. These are for collection. Period.
