Sun - Ikano / Ikea

We were coming down from Bukit Tinggi, and my daddy decided to go for one of the shopping spots on the way back to Seremban. And since we passed 1Utama while driving up to Bukit Tinggi, we thought it was probably "along the way".

Anyway, we ended up in IKEA at Ikano nearby. Gosh the crowd there on a Sunday evening was crazy. People were buying furniture like buying groceries in a supermarket.

My daddy always enjoyed window shopping and real shopping in IKEA.

It's not just about the shopping. It's about soaking in all the creativity and ideas and colours that are in IKEA, that made the experience so rich and fulfilling, even somewhat spiritual. Gosh what on earth am I talking here. Sorry, little boy language there.

If you have run out of space in your home or room, you should make a visit to IKEA. You are sure to find new ideas to create more space for your little corner. It's all about fully utilizing available spaces, with smart ideas and designs.

You can use the space that's on your wall, you know. (How about a bed that sits above your sofa set in your little living room?). You can even use the space above your head. (That means having storage compartments hanging from the ceiling. Well at least in IKEA they make them look really good).

For example, this smart carrier trolley thingy is what every food court in Malaysia should have. You can push around 3 fully loaded trays without fear of stuffs falling over. Oh yes, they sell very delicious and cheap Swedish food too. We ate the meatballs, chips, chicken wings, pastas, hotdog, curry puffs (not so Swedish la).

Those guys in IKEA are not only into designing beautiful things. The whole concept is about simplicity and efficiency. Not forgetting also, environmental friendliness.

Which means, you don't get plastic bags to pack your purchases.

But they still give you old newspapers to tapau your stuffs if you want la. But you gotta do it yourself.

So if you are too stingy to buy wrapping paper to wrap your fren's birthday gift, just tapau it with some old newspaper and proudly say "I bought it from IKEA".

So many toys around, and they didn't buy me any.
