hari raya haji has always been a quiet affair for me ever since my grandma passed away back in 1999. so today, instead of going to granparent's house and other people's homes like other people usually do, my family decided to visit IKEA instead. weeee!

since it's a public holiday, its pretty logical that a wonderful place like IKEA would have more people swarming in, and with the chinese new year just around the corner. besides that, i'm a happy shopper at IKEA today! i bought wooden drawers to clear my cluttering dressing table, a photo filmstrip-like frame, another bigger wooden frame for just 6 bucks, and slim green glass vase to nicely fit one stalk of flower. i shopped more than my mum, even though it was their idea to go IKEA in the first place. as soon as i got home, i took out my drawer and started fixing it. ala ala carpenter......
