IKEA - My Home

Woke up early, and my aunty brings us to their local taman to have a jog. The jogging path is shock absorbant, not like the path we have up in Air Itam Dam. The lake there is also beautiful. She showed me the location where she took the shot which won her a price. We have a nice walk around the taman, meeting up with some cute monkeys on the way as well.

Bought "Putu Mayung" from an indian stall. It's flour made into small strains like mee hoon, and eat with santan and brown sugar. Since i was "sweet talking" the seller, he gives me extra Gula Melaka, which is very rarely sold with Putu Mayung these days. Haha... my aunty complains that she never get it eventhough she is a regular customer. But hey...can't blame me for being cute rite? :P I've also tried the TauFuFa which is famous around Damansara. The tauge wake up at 3am in the morning to perpare the ingredients, driving his indonesian workers to various locations to sell while they themself are selling in the wet market. Business is so good their things aren't cheap.

After breakfast, we planned to visit all IKEA, IKANO Powerstation, and The Curve. But once we are in IKEA, we lost our minds and stayed there for almost 4 hours plus. There's a lot of good furniture for sale. But it's not good in terms of materials, but it's their concept, idea and design that sells. We're living in the Knowledge-based Society, so...the things sold here are mostly ideas on cheap wood. Dad might complain once i buy the things back, yet some of their furniture is not found available in shops all over Malaysia. I got this picture frame which is simple, elegant and affordable. I wonder why the other manufacturers spend their time making the frame looks complicated, and ugly. Some people like me prefer it to be nice and simple.

Regretted not coming to IKEA before designing my room. Their furniture here is cheaper and looks better. The furniture sold in most places are designed by Taiwanese while IKEA's products come from Swedish designers. The selection is so broad sometimes u wouldn't know what to buy unless u have a picture in mind. They also have some concept rooms for you to visit. The place is so comfortable me and Irene feel like wanting to stay there all day.

They have this coffee house in IKEA. The food is reasonably priced, and my aunty gave me a coupon to get a free cup of coffee. Drinks are free filled, and i drank 3 cups of capuccino. Irene pour herself a cup of soda. Haha...the bitter taste drove me nuts the last time i took a cup of soda in the airport. Surprisingly she managed to finish the whole cup of Soda.

While waiting for the shuttle to Kelana Jaya, we walked around Ikano Powerstation. The place is very large, must take another whole day to do serious shopping. There's a pet shop up there as well. Love those rabbits and cute little puppies. Hm...if only my mom let me breed them. Oh yeah, colorful parrots are for sale as well! Damansara Utama is a great place to shop, if i'm staying in TTDI, i don't think i'll have any money left in my account book anymore. I love this place! It's not crowded, comfortable, and the choices are enormous.
