Our revamped love nest =)

Pity me that I have to sit on our bed to use lappie.. lucky that I don have homework to do or reports to do @ home. (Ya, i don like to bring work home.. unless really tired or bo bian.. if nt i will not bring work home.. *bOring* ) hee
Told dfz i need a study table cos his current study table is too small for 2 of us. Went Ikea shop with Shihui Mid of November (after my wedding that week). Saw one of the showcase displaying a bar top table. Like it alot and decided to do that for our room.

05 Dec 2009 (Saturday):
We went to Ikea with Dfz mum (cos she alone at home doing nothing). Saw my colleague Jean and her bf there too. Show them the bar top display. Dfz like it alot too. We walked around level 2 of Ikea till 3pm (we left home around 1pm), then we decided to go back home to measure carefully to ensure our buys can fit in properly and not so cramp.
This time round only me and dfz went back to Ikea cos rear seats of his car need to put those furnitures.. Total we spend $902.++cents. We bought:

1. 2 table top (actualli its more to kitchen tables cos its THICK & Heavy!!)
2. 3 leg stands that can turn up to 107 cm tall
3. 4 brackets to mount to the wall to support the heavy table top
4. 1 book case cupboard (matching color to our table tops & tv console) + 1 door
5. 1 TV console (its the heaviest and longest parts)
6. 2 long racks
7. 2 short racks
8. 1 box of screws
9. 1 table / wall lamp
10. 1 pack lamp bulbs (got 2 bulbs in there)
11. 1 stationary holder
12. 2 high chair
Managed to squeeze the 2 table top at the rear seats but unable to squeeze the tv console in.. end up i have to take cabbie home with the Tv console and dfz drive home with the rest of the parts. Lucky there's one WISH taxi.. and willingly to help us with the long TV console parts.. I paid him $7 (cost $5.++cents)for the taxi fare cos he help me to carry the heavy box out too.
