It's a video game world [still writing]

Its really early on a Sunday morning~!
I came home just half hour past midnight from a day out with my family.


My parents and I went to Acik's place to hang around for a while, before we head to Ikea. Since Along would be coming back from work a little later (say after maghrib) we had fun window-shopping at Ikea. Good thing while we're there is that we are able to do our prayers and shop and eat all at the same time. Indeed it meets my version of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. I love the prayer room somehow, though its small, it gives me this sense of respect in a manner, because it is, definitely made well to meet our needs. I mean, there's even a room for each gender - separated, though near the toilet, I really thought its beneficial for us.





Anyhow... while walking around, I noticed that a vandalism art has taken place. I was surprised that such a thing could have happened on a shelf that reaches my eye-level if it was from a kid. But then again, if its an adult who drew it, I think that person needs to do more scribbling levels :]

So we had fun, looking at all the things in Ikea. I was already lugging a box and templates and my dad just gave me the 'not another trinket' eyes.  Hehe. I was contemplating to buy it, since the budget's way off, but I'll consider till we reach the cashier at level 3 later.

My brother is still eyeing for kitchen cabinets, somehow, you can see him dreamingly looking at items, imagining how it would look like it is fitted into his house. As dreamy as he would be, he still would take his chances to spoil a picture when sis's asking for a pic to be taken. Haha.


Meanwhile, when I'm in Ikea, my family is 'hasut'-ing me to get myself a decent bed. They insisted that I should get myself something I'd like, in many manners, for the amount of junk things I have in my room. Other than that, I'm still looking at shelves (I'm still using a temporary shelf in my room, and I haven't gotten myself shelves driven to the walls yet, according to my room's theme) and mirrors too. Suddenly the desire to own a very good decent big-ass mirror. Enough for to look at myself from head to toe, which I haven't been having the chance to, unless I tilt my mirrors to look at my legs. Yeap, I have no full length mirror at home - and it bugs me, somewhat. I was thinking that instead of just a mirror maybe I'd like a vanity wardrobe. But then I guess it's not necessary for the  small room of mine.

I'm also craving for a picture collage (at picture #4) - my own, I doubt I need to buy frames, because I could make my own with some nice paper that colour codes with my room. But I need to know how to arrange them - thus the picture taken - with my brother trying to spoil my pic, walking across it over and over. Ugh. It's not just him that I have to beat against, but the tonnes of shoppers who's walking past trying to buy last minute items for CNY.
Thinking about beds, I have been longing to get the bed that allows me to put desks at the bottom - But there's this problem. Even if i put my desk, i need to have constant lamplight if i'm working. That's torture, to me, at the very least - because of the electricity consumption. But then again, why didn't I think about making it as a 'relax-corner' with my bookshelf (must buy la again. lol), a divider and my clothes along with it? Haha... but look at the two pictures over to the right! I mean. How pretty is that!


I could still use my princess' mattresses, and that would compromise with dad's wishes of not throwing them out. Yeap, I have to agree the mattresses are still in good condition - and it's pampering me to the core. I couldn't sleep well in a un-comfy mattress which I could feel the board if I lie down on my side. I guess the white gives off this soft, subtle look, which I like, especially the headboard being so simplistic. But my desk is black (oh it can withstand my weight btw, ironically) and I think black is easier to maintain, like all my other wood furniture in my room. Takkan I wanna buy white just cos my room's theme is as such, after a few years I paint again, I must buy new furniture? Hah. I even imagined that I have some sheepskin rug on the floor, but I'm sure soon it'll become sheep+cat rug whenever my cat's over for a visit.


Hmms. Mirrors mirrors, I need the space so that I can put all my art materials, and I still dream of my jewellery's corner so that it'll be better for me to take pictures and all and post it up at my own store :]


And speaking about my dream, I am crazy about mirror pendants, and glass pendants. I tell you, it's going to be one AMAZING thing if i could ever get it here in Singapore, but if it's not available, then another plus plus to me, yeah? :D


Anyway, after deciding not to buy the trinkets (EP1, EP1!), we head down to Along's house. Kak Diana's cousins are there, and we ladies are heading down to get our measurements so that she could sew it for us. It's fun to see my darling niece and nephew. But my bracelet... :( The chain broke and I'm sooooo sad. Sigh, Something of that kind couldn't be used daily. I made myself my own bracelet with a camera (EP1!) charm and for Kak Diana too.



I managed to talk to my brothers for some opinions, and I guess its really up to me. I mean, somehow I do still that being the youngest, they don't really expect it out from me, unless they point fingers for me to get things done. But yeah, I really have nothing to be angsty and sad about with the treatments, afterall, I'm still the youngest amongst my brothers. To me, their opinions does matter, in many more ways than one.


Anyhow, we had dinner, and snacks with it, and we throughly enjoyed the company that's for sure. Before we left, we agreed on the BBQ for CNY, and found out that my nephew is in the calendar (for the neighbourhood) with an MP. wow, so terrer. Proud of my handsome young nephew. :]]]


I guess that's all for now... I got pics from my friday's art lesson that I could put up, but I think that would require me to type another round of long story again. Though that's part of my resolution, I think I should concentrate more on my assignments. That entry could wait when I'm really bored to the core when I'm at school doing my work and all. So yeap. Till then... toodles and take care. :]



I still don't like fb, to many extents. Hahahaha. Being in touch in that manner, just makes me wonder what communication holds on these days. But as my sister point out to me, eh, that's how you make friends and more than friends eh? ;]



I'm very keen to make more friends, but just not as keen to go through all that do's and don't's for now. I had my time when I was younger. Though it wasn't a good time then, but oh well... I better concentrate with what I have for now. I do wish that there are more people that I could talk and bual-kosong with... haha. nevermind, *shakes thought off*


Things to look out for:
. shellac
. mud podge
. varnish spray (matt)
. glass tile
. bails
. trinkets
. sketching of my dream :]]]
. or etsy's the way to go :]]

  1. I had a picture collage in my bedroom a few years back. I pasted the prints on the walls.

    But then, perhaps because of the weather, the colors of the prints dulled and they started to bend. Sometimes, some would fall down at the back of the cupboard making it impossible to retrieve.

    I have taken them down since after being there for several years.
