I tweet about going Queensway Ikea with Chewy this afternoon. We kind of got lost while getting home from Marina (we went there after leaving Ikea). Before I let the photos do the talking, this is the cake I baked with Mum 2 days ago. It looks too red in the photo, it’s actually more towards a golden yellow.

We made mango pudding (with real mango) the other day as well. Got a few for Chewy as desserts. I dropped some on his pants while he was driving in the afternoon. I swear I didn’t do it on purpose.

The baked rice from NYDC is delicious and heavenly as compared to the one I post about last week.

I took a few snapshots while on the car. Notice the number of cars on the road as compared to the previous photo which was taken in the afternoon. Driving is made difficult with the large number of cars. Luckily for me, I’m not the driver. I love being the passenger despite having a driving license. :P We unintentionally drove to China Town and then to Orchard before “finding” the correct expressway to go home. It took us nearly an hour (usually it’s 20 minutes by cab) to reach home safely. But it’s Chewy first time driving out of his comfort zone so I don’t blame him. His intuitive on the road is quite accurate actually just that he lacks the confidence.

Funan Mall - Look at all those cars

Here are all my loots for today. My new lamp is simply adorable. I felt in love with it when I saw it. I called it – The Robot. Doesn’t it looks like one? The metallic bendable stand looks like the body of a robot and the small bulb looks like its head? It also focuses the light on a certain area of the desk only. It’s one of the few lights in Ikea which uses white light. I’m not too fond of using those energy saving bulbs because the light looks orange. It makes me sleepy when I’m studying under orange lights. The Me-to-You grey bear at the side of the lamp is actually hugging the lamp switch. I didn’t want the switch to look too obvious.

I really like how it focuses the light. It looks like a round circle of light on my desk.

I love how the light focuses on just a small area

I got a new DIY armchair as well. It’s actually not that hard to fix. For the price, I’m not complaining. The old one was made of plastic without any cushions and it hurts my bum after sitting on it for long hours. This one is much more comfortable with an armrest. It’s a gift from Dad. I love it! I have actually gotten some other stuff as well. A mirror with wooden frame, lilac mug and trashbin but didn’t took photos of it though. I think I’ll take a photo of the mug for the next post. It looks really pretty.

I finished reading Marked (from my previous post) within a day so I got the other 2 books of the series. They look juicy, I hope I’ll be able to finish them fast!

I would also like to thank those who have voted for me. I’m not actually betting on winning those contests as I knew that contests based on popularity votes are usually losing games for me. But anyway, I still wish to try my best and know the feeling of winning at least once. I’ll just admit that I’ve never won contests which are based on public votes because it’s mostly popularity and the winner are usually the more popular ones. I wouldn’t say I’m popular on the Internet but I do have at least some good online friends who are helpful, supportive and know-that-Dayna-exists. No particular reason why I wanted to say this, but still thank you readers, visitors and friends (both online and offline) who have spend your precious time to read my entries, help, inspire, support and encourage me.
