My favorite things

IKEA is my favorite furniture shop in the whole world. Every time we visit Singapore, we see to it that we get to buy something from IKEA. From the simplest bowls for our doggies, to small kitchen utensils, up to stools and side tables.



What is good about IKEA is that the products are packed flat and small. An advantage for us, because they have to fit in our check-in luggage. And having to assemble the furniture yourself is a good thing. Because, there is “labor-of-love” attached on every item you buy. And once you’ve completed it, you will be more fulfilled.

One more favorite part is their showroom. Sitting on every sofa, enjoying the comfort of the arm chair with foot stools and feeling the sheets and mattresses of the beds. Almost falling asleep on the super soft bed and cuddly pillows, not being bothered when other customers walk in front you. The kitchen set-ups are the best. Still dreaming to have one of this on our own house, soon.



My favorite on all these favorites is having my favorite person with me during my trip to IKEA. Not only that, I am also with my “soon-to-be” next favorite person in the whole world.

A day at Malaysia

When the plane landed, we had to take the bus to finally reach Kuala Lumpur. It was almost night time when we got to the hotel and our tummies are grumbling already. Surprisingly, cab fare was cheap compared to taxi fares in Manila. And the sight of the Petronas Towers at night, was definitely an amazing view. The trip was worth it.

We decided to try on a different cuisine for dinner and ended up on a restaurant that is totally unknown to us, Indian/Malaysian food. I noticed that the servers are very accommodating and polite. Our experiment food was a success. After eating, we took a stroll around. Inside the mall, the out on the streets, bars, restaurants and had dessert.


The following day, was a rush. Too bad we weren’t able to go up the skybridge. When we reached the Pasarakyat bus terminal, tickets for the day were sold out! We were transferred to Pudarayat bus terminal, which was more crowded and a little scary, to avail of tickets. Travel time took almost nine hours, which was supposed to be just five. A lot of people coming back on a Sunday because classes were starting already.

It was a series of not-so-good events but we didn't argue or anything. It was an adventure for both of us. Scary but fun. And we had a wonderful, quality time.
