Excursion

Haven’t been to IKEA for quite some time. Had to make a trip down as we needed to get sofas for our rented flat and our home. 

Needed to fill tummy before we can think. So it’s off to the dining area. 

I always like to see these small little “house floor plan” in Ikea and daydream ‘if only … I was a single lady living on my own.’ Back to reality, it’s impossible. I think I’d still be living with my mom if I’m still single at this time 😂, I don’t even think I earn enough to buy a flat on my own. 

There’s some kind of satisfaction walking inside even though I don’t buy anything. Daydreaming if this small little space is my living space. Ehh….altho I feel I don’t have a lot of things currently, I will need to minimise more personal effects if I ever had such a small house 😂. 

Going to Ikea makes it feel like it’s an excursion and it’s fun. Perhaps it’s that singular huge building that makes one think so (That’s why I love going to supermarkets in US). Just like how psychology works when we gotta walk the whole rectangular building in zigzig. I’m just thankful I am mentally strong and can resist temptation coz the way they place their products is so hard not to buy. 

And the Scandinavian Christmas decorations is so .. scandinavian 😂. I’m lost for words just can’t put to words. The gnomes! I love gnomes and so tempted to buy gnomes and reindeers. 淘宝 also sell lighted reindeers 🤣 and some pretty ornaments. 

I love looking at kitchens and the laundry setups 🤣. What a joke coz I hate to cook.

Simple yet enchanting Christmas decos

Omg! It’s so eye catching. Cannot buy, don’t buy coz I  threw some Xmas, CNY, Halloween deco stuffs away when I was tidying my bomb shelter back in May. No way am I going to hoard up my house again. Don’t spend unnecessary money. Maybe ah-nia can print Christmas things or do that silly Christmas tree on the mirror. But that Santa is so so cute! 

I have a soft spot for gingerbread house. So cute. But nobody eats. Haiz! 

Made our way to Courts to look for sofa. Bought one to replace the sofa in Punggol, didn’t see anything we like for ourselves. I have 3 lucky draw coupons with rhe purchase. According to staff there’s a draw at 3pm which is only less than 20mins away. I dropped the coupons in, after that I overheard a guy asking staff what phone is it. “It’s a Chinese brand called Nothing” Huh? Simi brand?

Went to the electronics section to while away time and were bored. We have nothing to buy, walking around is senseless. Worst when we have a grumpy che-che who kept insisting on going home just so she can play her games. Yah! She ever commented that her cousins were so addicted to gaming, she’s no saint either as she’s turned into a gaming addict herself. In less than 3mins, she got even more impatient and kept wanting to go home asap. She should be thankful we went up just to idle time away, she saw a standee of Ren Meguro 😂. 

Did we stay in the end? No. Though I think there’s a good chance we will win as there wasn’t many coupons inside when I drop them in for that 3pm draw. I could touch the coupons. We had 3 coupons so chances is high for us lor! There’s also 5pm, 7pm, 9pm draw where all prizes are different. The catch is the winner must be present to collect the prize. No way was I going to go back again.
