This was my last outing before going back to school. My parents don't like IKEA so I've only been to IKEA once before in my whole entire life -.-'' My friend KC has never been either so we spent our day there. There's a reason why IKEA has their own food place and cafe! If you are looking for something in particular to purchase, you'll need an entire day there!
We ate first, of course. KC's meal with coffee. I was telling her that you'll never find one of those drink refill machines in China because people will go crazy and companies will go bankrupt as a result (i.e instead of one drink per person in the family, they only buy one drink, share it, and keep refilling it).
I opted for something healthy? And that's not water, it's Sprite without fizz =( Boo! I really liked the salmon but didn't touch the broccoli and peas lol.
We were intrigued by these solar powered table lamps. Unfortunately, none of them worked! I tried to put the panel under another table lamp to power it up but it was still a fail I think. And see how the light "bulb" is extremely tiny? That's not gonna light up anything!
By the time we got to the warehouse part of IKEA, I was so tired from lugging around stuff that I needed a cart to just put everything in. These carts are so difficult to maneuver -.-"
Okay, this tasted like 70% ice cream and 30% frozen yogurt. Damn IKEA, I wouldn't call this frozen yogurt! It was only $1 though. Yum.
I wasn't there to look for furniture, it was more like "I wonder what gems I'll find at IKEA" kind of thing. My favourite candle scent is fresh linen, smells just like laundry out of the dryer which is very orgasmic ahaha!!! But the one IKEA has is bigger than my head and I just wanted mini ones. I purchased vanilla and berries, and a little holder to go with it.
IKEA meant kids are the most important people in the world. Please, kids don't need to have that kind of mindset yet. Anyone agree?
helen your such a kid LOL love the last pic~
ReplyDeletei use autocad at uni, never used the other one, but programms are all annoying to use haha your making me hungry with those nice pictures again >.<
I love the salmon and vegetable medallions <33 yumyum.. also, kids are important because they are our future. The word "most" is arguable though.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Did you know your word verification is on? : )

@Jenny Luong
I go crazy when they release the annual catalogue!!!
@The Little Dust Princess
Word verification? How did that happen?
There once was a time in highschool I took classes to know how to work with AutoCAD. Fun times, I liked working on AutoCAD! Because I wanted to be an architect :P Haha, ended up doing something a bit different...
ReplyDeleteOh IKEA! IKEA how I love you! It's been ages since I visited IKEA. Probably ten years or so T.T And we never ate there because my Mom doesn't like eating in IKEA T.T
(yup, word verification...)
Ah, i love IKEA! It's nice to just walk around the showrooms and imagine your place actually looks like that. haha! Best of all? The cheap food! $1 breakfast plates? Yes, please! I know what you mean though - there are a lot of Chinese people here and whenever there is a way to get something free, they're all over that (and nothing wrong with it... it's just what they happen to be known for! haha). Back when i was in school, we were given the opportunity to go to a food tradeshow and of course they were giving away free samples. Everyone had maybe 1 or 2 bags full of samples... The chinese folks? First of all, they brought their whole family with them and secondly, each person had a LUGGAGE bag with them and they were literally wiping items off the shelves as if it was Y2K the next day. haha!
ReplyDeletei havent been to ikea in ages!!! but i gotta admit everything at my bf's place is from ikea!!! and i loveee frozen yogurt ... must have it soon

You love interior design?! Awesome!! I love looking at house things hehe. I'm not technical so I just kind of call it home decor for me and sort of use interest in 'interior design' sparingly on my part lol. I love going to Ikea! Very affordable things that are nice too.
ReplyDeleteHaha, when I said I tag Helen.. yes I meant you ;P
And actually you can find Vero Moda in The Bay =)
I LOVE salmon. Your photo makes me want to make some right now...at 11pm at night. haha.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know IKEA sold ice cream/ frozen yogurt!
@Kym
ReplyDeleteOMG I was telling my friend that I should move to the condo that's right next to IKEA because I can just go to IKEA for the $1 breakfast everyday haha!
@Natalie Nguyen
Hmm.. the Bay... I can't believe they stopped accepting SPC card -.-'' Maybe next time when I stop by the Bay, I can see the Vero Moda line in person. From their website, they seem to have some cute stuff =D
@Jennifer and Sherry
Yea they sell it in their cafe, with cinnamon rolls and coffee and other stuff. It's a nice treat for anyone at the end of an IKEA trip :D
i love ikea too! i've heard about ikea's cheap meals, but have yet to try. the only food i've had were their 50c hotdogs haha!! what can i say, my (asian) parents are cheap.
ReplyDeletei think i've seen you around at ocad by the way! :)
@a,
ReplyDeleteWell what can I say, asian parents are typically known for being cheap lol. Then again, it's probably hard for anyone to pass on the 50 cents hotdogs lol!!!
WHAT!!!! I'm sorry but you don't look familiar to me *cry* If you see me on campus next time please stop me and say hai =D I don't know anyone from my circle of bloggers that's from OCAD =(
