Hi Angie,
Yea i received... Looks good but dunno whether the quality is good or not.. cos i intend to keep it for years ahead..
i bought a lamp light from Ikea, left it on the living room.. think switch on for 2 or 3 times only so far... last week the body frame cracked for no reason. Me and my wife was just next to it when we hear the crack sound... poor quality heh

Hi Ryan,
The gathering was great but due to miscalculation, my living room was packed till most of the guests were left standing.
I was thinking from previous gathering that guests tend to come in batches on different timing but instead mine came together almost the same time.
And the first couple to arrive was..... Kevin and Wife. they pop by to say hi and tour around the house.
Hi Kevin,
Sorry, food was not here yet when you arrived.

been seeing ants these few mths, but lately, seems to have more across my path lately. probably due to wife trying more dishes, which attract the little creatures.
yesterday tried her tahu goreng & kopi bread, quite gd, the ants must be enjoying too, haha
thought of buying those ant traps, angie, let me know if those work

yup, diana, indeed a new place for family outing
many families had picnic at the roof-top terrace
my suggestion time to be there would be late afternoon, can easily stay there for 3hrs (inclusive of the gallery walk), and u'll see the barrage in daylight and night-time, with bonus of dusk beauty.
and yes, get ur children to bring along swimming costume, or at least towels, there's an open-air playpool

west coast plaza (formerly known as ginza plaza) reopens this coming weekend after the facelift and injection of more vibrancy. much more makan places & the anchor tenant cold storage will be your reason to pay it a visit

Those are live Scandinavian Christmas tree, ranging from 1.6m ¨C 3.0m
1.6m tall Christmas tree will set us back $45, if u intend to ferry it back
or else additional 20 bucks more if u¡¯re using ikea delivery service
u can get 20 bucks back if u return the tree to their outlet in early jan 08.
So simply like a live Christmas tree rental service for 1-2 mths at $25 if u¡¯re getting the 1.6m
Might be going down tampines ikea see see this wkend
Prefer it (much more spacious to shop) to Alexandra ikea, not sure whether the latter¡¯s renovation is completed

buying live trees are not environmental friendly. imagine every year they chop down millions of christmas trees to sell, only to collect back after a couple of months to dispose it, doubly damaging the earth with the carbon release.... there is no such things as environment friendly disposal like what ikea is offering to buy back the trees... it's wrong in the first place to cut it down.
dislike it and don't support it.

That¡¯s a thought-provoking argument to suggest that plastic artificial Christmas tree is more mother nature-friendly than a live Christmas tree
To share my belief, I support the contrary simply because of the following factors
Production
Artificial Christmas trees consume fossil fuel during production, largely erected with plastic PVC and metal, one could imagine the fumes that factories emit. Importantly, these fumes and waste material cause environmental hazard, and are detrimental to human and animal health.
As for these Ikea Scandinavian Christmas trees, I believe they are seeded, nurtured and harvested for its sole purpose ¨C sell for profit, hence they should be planted in designated plots, and there would not be any excessive falling of trees in the wild open, because I am aware that these Scandinavian countries are front-runners as environmentalists. So we have a profit-driven organization plating Christmas trees, and these trees help to reduce global warming (we all learnt in schools that tress breathe in CO2).
Disposal
This is contestable. We have an plastic artificial Christmas tree which can easily reside in your home for 5-10yrs, depending when the novelty wears off. Alternatively, you can pick up a live Christmas tree off the shelf that will last your family only this festive season.
In the long run, plastic lasts, and at a lower cost, one may feel one plastic tree for for instance five years is more appropriate than chopping five trees for the same period, but how about weighing the eventual effects on our environment.
Plastic is non-biodegradable, hence it is hard to recycle it. As for live trees, believe every tree for that is fallen, there will be a seedling nurtured for the next Ikea customer. And for the skeptics about recycling these live trees, believe Ikea would have them collected and recycled into composts for parks and gardens. This is part of their care our environment. Otherwise, would not be obliged to dish out $10 voucher to entice customers to return the trees, which in first place, is cumbersome to just draga tree back to store and some may even harbour though to squeeze it down the chute, haha.
Enough said, enough shared, merely personal thoughts

2nd day at ICT today, we have so much stuffs to load up for our exercise on monday that we needed nine 5-tonner ready. Today it took us the whole afternoon to load up 300 set of concertina wires and 500 sand bags. It's a nightmare untangling the concertina wires.. we're going to built a PW camp on monday with all these... OMG!
