Packing the unpacked, Unpacking the pack




We are going back to Endau tomorrow. Going back for the fresh seafood, esp. crabs! Ahh... (camna nak dapat pahala ni, bukannya nak niat kerana nak ziarah parents! hehe).

So, tonite, I'd be spending hours doing the thing I hate most when travelling (for hols, balik kampung, attending courses, etc.) - packing and unpacking.


I'd utilize the time hingga titisan minit yang terakhir to pack my toiletries, susuk (make-ups, that is), etc. Hence, it's such a burden when MrHubby wants to load the luggage first (which I use), before he piles other bags on top of it.

What's funny is... I tot most men travel with minimum stuff.

Well, u know... men can simply skip wearing undies (if they wish), but to us, it's a no no!
Men can re-wear the same shirt after it is being aired to get rid of the sweat.
p/s: Most men, not MrHubby.

So, what makes ladies bag/luggage full of stuff?

  • Undies: we need to wear the top (bra) & the bottom (panties), guys only have to cover one.
  • Telekung: guys can just pray with the baju the wear (tapi kena bersih la ye)
  • Pads: If we r 'on leave' (ma'zurah), instead of packing the telekung, we have to bring the stock for a few days.
  • Tudung: guys dont wear this, but girls who do, ada yang nak bwk tudung matching of all colours in the collection. I tell u what- 1 of my SILs kalo balik kg, ada 1 luggage khas utk tudung, accessories, brooches bagai. Giler ahh..
  • Toiletries: toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, showerfoam, comb, mouthwash.
  • Make-ups: powder, lipstick, mascara, eye shadow, eyeliner, foundation.
  • etc: Inner, arm cover (kalau baju short sleeves), lens case/ glasses.


Tu belum masuk lagi kalo ada yang nak bawak towel paling gebu dalam koleksi, matching shoes for the blouses, hair dryer bagai.
Woh! Kalo itu macam, bawak la almari, katil sekali. Senang!

The last time I went camping at Ulu Bernam (last fortnite), boleh pulak ada students bawak selimut, bantal. Entah2 ada yang bwk teddy bear segala.
Tu pun ada hati nak pinjam bantal drp dorm! Kalo survival skill xde, jangan gi camping la!
Lil Adam pun tido berlapikkan baju2 je.

Anyway, MrHubby is not like the typical men with minimal things. I remember he brought a whole lot with him when he attended few courses. Laundry basket, hanger segala pun dia bawak! Ya Rabbi. Nak kata ubersexual, x la jugak laki aku nih.

But when we go for hols, he doesn't do that. And despite being environmentalists, both of us do not like camping due to the hassle of cooking at the campsite.

So guys, how many bags/luggage do u carry with u when travelling?

  10. i selalu suka sumbat dlm 1 beg troli 29" segala2...tudung nak pakai dgn tshirt selalunya i matchkan dgn 2-3 helai tshirt.tapi selalunya yg wajib bwk x leh tinggal:-
    1) undies.
    2) towel.
    3) tshirt hubby.
    4) brg2 Aliah - susah nak 'pinjam'.
    5) my tudung.
    6) sandals.
    7) berus gigi.

    i suka pack n unpack ni sbb time pack,semangat gila nak pegi ni..time unpack laak,seronok gila tgk brg2 yg dibwk balik (ie.souvenirs dll).

  13. hehehe yeah, I was surprised too that during our 1st trip out last time, terkejut when I saw Hub's toiletries more than mine ;p

    I too had in mind men would be more of a minimalist. Kalah la I if we were to balik kg. balik kg, I sempoi je...unless g jalan2 la :)
