17-11-05` ikea

went ikea with ying today! haas, missed the hotdog there lotss! its yummy to the MAX! its mastard tomato chilli sauce are 'help yourself' kind so in another words, free flow. umms, nothing much to be happy abt though for this point, its nt as if u're a real big eater of sauces for a living thats enough to make them bankrupt.

planned my shopping list ages ago, just sort of a companion. luckily ying just finish / tempo free of o's (until next wk). hees, so i drag her along. poor lady, the first shopping trip after o's had to be with me walking ard in ikea, instead of town looking at her fav stuff. yar, elephants and yeiio3y clothes bags blah blahs. psst! the trolley there is free, that means no need to insert $1 coin. dumbo us were looking for the coin slot and gazing ard for any security that came marching to us as we pulled out the trolley. no alarms, no guards. along our exploration inside, we wonder why ppl perfer to use the yellow bags provided and not the trolley. finally we came to a conclusion - u cant push the trolley upstairs. the only way up is to use the lift. instantly we felt so 'dumbo' again (eyes become raisin-size). so again, the poor lady had to transfer everything frm the trolley to the yellow bags. she had been helping me to carry all the BAGS (mine, hers and.. the YELLOW bag). free labour huhs. the lightnings there were real cool. that inspire us to swore to have a turn over of our rooms.. someday. (well, when we have enough capital to) i got myself some storage boxes - 2 mega big ones, 4 fine cardboard ones, 3 small plastic ones, a 3-pack metal cylindrical containers, a pouch that u often seen in magic shows, 2 plastic dustbins (fancy buying bins all the way frm queenstown when i live in sgoon), a roll of ribbon.. and guess how much it toll up? $74! our eyes grew big in astonishment as the numbers appeared on the screen. we expected to be slightly above 50 but nt exactly mentally prepared to have it above 70.
due to all the bulky stuff, we were only left with an option for transport. thats cab. bus driver will definately reject us boarding for the fact that we'll act as hinderance or rather, obstruction to his business becoz we'll occupy a larger space with our 'victory goods'. its real lucky that we manage to take the citycab thats right after silvercab! if we'll a step eariler.. for all knows which meter goes faster. hehs
after that we went kovan to meet up with maine for job interview. its a pity to know that there's only one vacancy. well, that means they're fated for better jobbies. better luck for them next time! GO GO GO!
