I recently went on a trip with a group of friends. Many of them came with large luggage bags and went home with even larger bags! Me, my check-in luggage remained at 3kg, even though I did buy something during the trip. 

And to make my baggage lighter, I am planning to buy a tablet, maybe something like the Eee Pad Asus. I know I won't be able to work that well with it but it is still better than lugging a heavy laptop in my bag! 

Anyway, this purchase will have to wait because I still need to buy a luggage bag for my impending trip to East Malaysia next month. Ugh!
