i went to the mega ikea at tampines with my family today and i must say it is really successful. the food is nice and cheap, the furniture are pretty, simple and affordable, and ikea always makes me feel like buying cute little things (which may be qt useless) such as their very pretty boxes, nice drinking glasses, candles, beautiful black photo frames and pictures, on impulse. see, it really works. this mega store is really big and makes me all giddy looking at the piles of things. i'd really love to decorate my own hse someday. i can picture it with nice dark wood and dark-ish walls, lots of glass, pictures in black frames. i also have this thing for drinking glasses so i'd stock up on all sorts of wine, champagne, martini glasses. i can already hear my mum complaining how difficult it is to clean. haha
