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.

french stationery

These are the things I bought when I went to Paris last May. I have posted these on my instagram. But I think I have some infos to share regarding these items. These things are quite familiar to French pupils or students, but not so known in Indonesia.

First of all, fountain pen set. Pena Maped ini nggak mahal karena termasuk alat tulis sehari-hari. Di Prancis, anak SD wajib belajar nulis huruf sambung pakai pena begini. Harga pena Maped ini sekitar 6 euro (setara Rp 90 ribu). Nah, yang di tengah itu adalah cartridge (katrid) atau isi pena. Biasanya, pena yang murah meriah begini memang pakai katrid sekali pakai, bukan pakai pompa barel seperti pena mahal. Katrid seperti ini juga banyak dijual di toko alat tulis atau supermarket kalo di Prancis. I bought these things in Monoprix. Sebungkusnya ada sekitar 12 katrid, harganya murah (lupa tapinya). Sedangkan yang di samping kanan itu adalah penghapus tinta. Bentuknya seperti spidol putih di ujung satunya untuk menghapus tinta, dan warna biru untuk menulis di bagian yang dihapus. Kertas yang sudah terkena hapusan tinta biasanya jadi rusak karena cara kerja penghapus tersebut adalah mencairkan tinta, seperti thinner. Sehingga, untuk menulis kembali di bagian yang sama, kita harus menggunakan bolpoin atau marker khusus yang tidak merembes di kertas.

Next thing is a pencil pouch or trousse in French. Bukan sembarang tempat pensil. This is Asterix pencil pouch.. Aaaa.. !! I like the colour and the character. Sebenernya sih, yang jadi idola adalah Obelix hihihihi.. but Asterix is also my favorite. Belinya susah pula, musti di Parc Asterix. Ke tempat ini pun harus penuh perjuangan. Naik RER (urban train) dari Paris sampai CDG airport, lalu nyambung naik shuttle bus sekitar 30 menit. Anyway, harganya sekitar 10-15 euro. Agak mahal untuk tempat pensil biasa. Yaudah lah yaaa...                  

lamy fountain

After blogwalking for quite sometime, I believe the most popular fountain pen among stationery freaks is the Lamy Safari. The pen is claimed to be affordable and dependable. So I grab one for myself.. for the sake of curiosity. I found it in Kinokuniya bookstore in Jakarta. Haven't managed to use it yet, be patient for the review.. am still too excited just for having it. This is one of my wishlist for this year and got it in January !! ah ouiiii... déjà.. !! Well, actually I bought the Lamy Al-Star with ink converter. I believe it's exactly the same appearance to Safari, but this one made from alumunium instead of plastic. Mine has matte finishing, looks very classy, and comes in burgundy (dark purple) color.. which not exist in Safari. Of course the price is slightly higher as well.. but when you look at the pen, no further question asked.

stylo plume mont blanc

This is a Mont Blanc Meisterstück fountain pen - Hommage à Frédéric Chopin. Got this pen as a christmas present in 2003 from a dear friend. I don't remember where's the box (with a CD of Chopin included) and the certificate. I was also devastated when I accidentally dropped the pen in 2007 and cracked the cap. Oh well, life goes on.. Still hate myself because of that. I actually really like the way it looks.. the jet black barrel, the glossy finishing, the gold plated clip, very chic and prestigious. You can see the tip of the pen is also beautifully crafted. Say no more.
