IKEA

Saturday morning my parents and I went for a talk on cancer at UTAR. After that my mom had a reunion with her ex secondary school mates. So after we dropped her off, it was just me and my dad left. He did earlier suggest that we go to Borders or MPH at the Curve. But when we reached the shopping complex, the words IKEA jumped out at me. And after my dad said that this is the biggest IKEA in Southeast Asia, we ended up heading there instead.

I have to be honest. As shocking as this may sound, I've not been to IKEA for more than a decade. So you can imagine my "jakun-ness". We headed to the restaurant first and I was quit amazed with the food trolley. Anyway, we had a mouth-watering

time making a choice. I'd recommend taking the salad; simple said, it is marvelous. And that's saying something coming from me; seeing that I am not very fond of starch-y nutrients.

After lunch we walked around the top floor. It makes me dream of having my own house and having all the interior designs of IKEA. I love especially the kids section. I mean, the layout and design had bright and vibrant colours. There was this one cupboard (which I can't recall the name now). The design grabbed my attention; but I don't think I'd be having something like that in my house. It was covered with words, quotes, drawings. It reminded me of Najah actually. At the same time, it stimulated my "arts and crafts" side to do something big like that.. I have yet to locate a time to do it though...

When we headed down, there were all the small items etc. I went quite wild (or rather wide-eyed) when we saw the towels (or at least I think they're towels) section. It was so... rainbow-ish! Colourful. Vibrant. For some reason, it induced endorphins seeing an array of colours neatly stacked in the form of...towels. As funny as that may sound...

We didn't actually purchase anything except a big clock for the surau and a few sprays (do not ask why). It was really nice just walking through the whole of IKEA though. Very rarely do I ever walk around a store of which I have no particular item to get. But IKEA had a lot of extremely amazing designs.

Overall, a wonderful father-daughter bonding time. Thank you Ayah:)
