My, just how many BIG changes can my house go through in such a short period of time? It's real insane! Haha. Thank god, the changing process is all smooth and most importantly, didn't cost a gigantic hole in mom's wallet. Hehe. Me & mom are just euphoric that finally, our house look "different"! :) Anyways, another furniture delivery was made to my home early in the morning, today. Guess what they are? The new dining table set & computer table from IKEA, of course! Woohoo! :D

Selling off the old dining table set was completely out of the agenda but somehow, mom just got bored of it. After all, most of the chairs were already "loose" and the design is getting "off beat". That particular set was bought more than 10 years ago at a hefty SGD900. We only got SGD60 from the sale to a 2nd hand furniture company. Gosh! Well, being sad is one thing, but getting rid of the "past" is another. So yeah... :)

Sorry for the poor quality! It was an old picture... Haha!

I personally objected the idea of buying another "traditional" dining table set. Mom can't seem to accept a modern concept but finally, I managed to coax her into buying a mix & match set from IKEA. U have no clue how much she was reluctant in the first place. Haha! Even till now, she thinks that the set at Courts or Nova Furnitures are way better. Well, I can't deny that but please, it's just too old fashioned! Don't even talk about their retail price! Why fork out so much when we can save a whole lot @ IKEA? Most of those common dinner table set cost more than SGD400! Sheesh.

Next, getting rid of my old computer table was also not in the agenda. In fact, I don't feel there's a need to change but mom said it's too bulky and what nots. I was like, where does the issue arise from? Oh wells. Since there's a major change, why not change the computer table as well, right? Haha. It's not exactly tough to get a suitable computer table from IKEA. I've loved their designs all along so I'm glad to have finally purchased one. Weeee! ;)

This piece was bought at a neighbourhood store for approximately SGD100, more than 8 years ago

It's a miracle how I managed to put everything together perfectly on the new computer table. Despite being small, it definitely have a lot of storage space to offer. The best feature must be the "keyboard drawer". Instead of putting a keyboard, I put my laptop on it. Whenever I want to use the lappie, I will just pull the drawer out. Else not, I will draw it back in and it "automatically" store the lappie nicely. This saves space and make it look much neater. What do U think? To me, it's complete yayness! Haha. :D

P/S: The colour of the dining chair may be off but mom already have some plans on how to "dress it up". Also, she may keep my old computer table and then convert it as her sewing table. Well, we'll see how it all goes, aite? Hehe. ;)
