long looong day...
Monday, November 24, 2008 @ 2:26 PM

My mother & her sister are very close so naturally i'm very close to my aunt's family.
One of her daughters, eling, is of the same age as i am so we attended everything together from swimming classes to piano lessons to british council & school. However,we started to drift apart as i transferred to a chinese school whereas she to mgs. Kinda miss her a lot even though she used to bully me when were younger (haha & i'm older than her by 4 months!!) The piano/violin genius is now already in america majoring in music & i'm still stuck here. (sighs..)

In all honesty, i spent more time with her, her 2 older sisters & little brother compared to my own brothers. If i remembered correctly they were both glued to the keyboard playing pc games whereas i preferred to play outdoors.

Anyways, it has also been a long time since i've gone for outings with my aunt & her family. For one,my closest cousin is already in america while her eldest sister is in canada. Also everyone's pretty busy with their own schedules each day so meeting up is pretty difficult for all of us.

However, auntie called us out to ikea out of the blue yesterday. We had brunch at a dim sum place in SS2, pj. The food was very good & sadly i didnt manage to get any pics. Haha the food disappeared too fast & i had to keep my chopsticks busy.=) Actually, the restaurant is more famous for its crabs. (It has this really huge-ass crab logo in front of its main entrance.) I didnt like the way they stored the crabs though. They tied the legs of the crabs & stored them in a refrigerator, AND THEY WERE STILL ALIVE!!! I suppose this is how they preserve the freshness of the crabs but still!! I personally think that its inhumane. But if you guys are interested i can tell you where is it, it's pretty famous, the waitresses even help you to crack the shell nicely so all you have to do is eat.

Me & mommie weren't looking for anything in particular at
ikea but i love that place with all the interesting furniture & little trinkets. The food over there is pretty good too!! (the curry puffs are awesome!!)TY got me hooked on the cake sold only there. Its friggin expensive so i can only eat a tiny slice..sighs..Oh, uncle bought a champagne bottle at the small food section over there & its wayyyyyyy delicious!!!!!! It's called glogg with 2 dots on the o. It contains cinnamon & since i'm a HUGE fan of cinnamon, i just lurvvvv the drink. (gonna buy it the next time i return to ikea!XD)
non alchoholic glogg..SWEET!!
Saw many cool & prettie stuffs there. So tempted to buy everything but since i've no cash, was tempted to just stay there. IF ONLY... Some pics that i'd snapped.
christmas decorations!! i'm lurbbbb them!! not the tree, just the decorations =)
interesting table & chairs eh?
i like the table, i like the chair, but most of all, i like the heart decor!!!!!!!!!!!! XD
i have a THING for chandeliers, wanted to buy this cute miniature one but couldn't think of a suitable place to hang it at home:(
guess wat's this...give up? its a clothes stand/coat hanger. me likey the design, AND the paper bags X)
i want this!!u throw ur dirty laundry into the hole & collect it from the red box after the hole becomes too full...potty style!!

i want this room!!blue blue blue..need i say more??

mom actually tot it was real when i was holding it...she went EEEK!! 'guffaws'
cous bro:Raymond, both of us got really bored at one point when the adults were busy measuring stuffs & we rested on a stack of fluffy carpets...
the larger furnitures...this place just freaks me out..anyone feel the same?
gal in blue:cous sis Joanne who's really pretty!!

THEN, we had a call from another cous sister of mine who just recently moved out of her parents house to a trendy upstate condo just 5 mins from ikea. Hearing that we're at ikea, she invited us to her place as the renovations have just completed. She's the oldest among us cousins & has the whole map of kl imprinted in her mind. REALLY! If you're lost in the big city, all you have to do is give her a call & she'll give you directions IN DETAIL!! As in how many traffic lights you'll see, what are the landmarks & even the road names!! We jokingly said that if we just tell her the direction of the sunlight & the hour at that time, maybe she'll STILL be able to figure where we are...oh, she's also very knowledgeable in restaurants, she has tried almost every restaurant & will be glad to advise you where you can get the best jap/oriental/malay/korean/thai....food. Trust me, SHE'S THAT GOOD.
hallway & the tv she's placing in her bedroom. check out the dry kitchen, its surround by glass walls.
she's gonna place a 30 something inch plasma tv on the protruding board (btw mom's gonna kill me if she knows i posted her pic..)
see the bamboo sticks cum divider?they're real bamboo & suits the zen-like design of the apartment (that's my uncle sam! the best uncle in the world!! he taught me loads of stuff, cycling, swimming, badminton, tennis, squash, pingpong...)

I like her bedroom the most. It has the map (made of wood) of the whole world on the wall!! But i forgot to take a pic! Damnit!! The balcony of her apartment faces ikea, the curve & 1u so we were thinking of calling her next time to ask for the traffic/weather reports & whether there're any parking bays available. ;)

Finally, at night we had a dinner together where the aunties, uncles chat, gossiped & poke fun of each other. And my aunt said something extremely nice about me...(grinning stupidly)..go figure...

Got back home & immediately dropped dead on my bed. It was a long long day. Oh, mom bought me a dustbin to replace my garfield one which i gave to roomie joyce & an apple-scented candle. Its has a very relaxing scent which i fell in love with.

Last but not least,
ain't it prettie??hints to willy & ppl out there...WAKAKAKA
