For many reasons, my mom wanted to go IKEA today. How could i say no to IKEA when some of my friends say IKEA is like ivy's second home. Haa..
The funny part of the day began when my mom wasnt sure where the science bustop is and wanted to pick me up at KE7. Then she couldnt find KE7 and she circled the entire NUS and called my dad for help when she found herself at the satellite carpark which is very near KE!
Then at IKEA, my mom had a craving for chicken wings and made me buy 6 chicken wings cos she was so sure 2 wont be enough. I had to give my meatballs a miss cos i was so sure she wont be able to finish too! Though i'm not a fan of chicken wing, i was real happy to see my mom so happy with her meal :) She said 好久没吃得那么痛快咯！Quite cute right? Haha..
We made various purchases at KE and we realised in the Car tt we probably have to make 3,4 trips to carry everything home cos the table was heavy, the swivel chair came in 2 parts, the mirror was fragile and we both had bags etc. Then God answered our prayer...
We saw a supermarket trolley by the roadside as i made a turn.
Here's the slope...
My mom had this idea to use the trolley but cos she felt tt it was an embarrassing thing to push the trolley across the main road home, she made me pull over and she took over the wheel so I could go fetch the trolley.
To my surprise, when i was back at the slope, the trolley was in a very precarious position. Only one wheel was in a pothole and it could roll down any moment! The trolley belonged to Giant tt is quite far from my home.. Makes me wonder who left the trolley there to obstruct traffic...
Anyway, i got really excited with the whole trolley idea. It was quite a thrilling thing to wheel the trolley across the main road and many people were staring and had the question mark-question mark faces especially those at the nearby kopitiam!! SO FUNNY! I took some pictures in the lift. It was quite cramp, so i could barely capture the trolley.
As u can see, the trolley is quite full. And we made only ONE trip! YAY!!
My mom and i were laughing so hard.. explains the poor picture quality from my shaky hands.
IKEA day was good for me cos my family bought a new table tt was on sale!
This is my table in the living room after muscle-aching turning of the screw driver for the countless screws!
This is a fabulous table because it's so compact when not in used!
Note the width.. it only occupies 15 cm!
I felt that this slideshow i showed kendrick has the impact of justifying our purchase.
You probably can tell i'm really happy :) Like wenyang always says,"today is a happy day!"
Going back to the trolleyy...
My mom felt that she ought to be a good citizen especially after the trolley has served us well. She called up Giant to make a report of the trolley we found!
Here's my mom placing the trolley in a conspicuous position as she has described to the giant staff.
The good trolley. This trolley day i hope is a gd study break for me :)
