The 'Semi-Naked' Unit - Idaman Residence

Most of the shopping is done at Ikea - too lazy to go around furniture shops. Was just so tired and overwhelmed with cleaning and furnishing our new home. I cleaned the place for I-don't -know-how-many-trillionth-times (okay, I am exaggerating) - or at least it felt like that - my whole body is aching from the washing, scrubbing, sweeping, moping, and sweeping and moping, on and on. The electricians came in to fix all the lights on Thursday- and there again the dusts and mess to clean up - as soon as I got down from the bus from Melaka, I was thinking about the list of things to clean. I think I am turning into an obsessive-compulsive person when it comes to clean home and orderliness.

At least we are happy that there is some progress - the lights are all fixed - it looks so much better now. We had a list of priority things to buy according to our budget. We got some kitchen-counter top stools from Ikea and a pair of reading chairs - it is so comfy. During the weekend, we spent almost all our time in Ikea and also on cleaning. We got a pretty cool working table - a peanut-shaped-red-color table - quite mod - and also a working chair. We also managed to get a good deal on Ikea bed and mattress - we spend a total of RM 800++ inclusive of a bed-side table - we bought it immediately since we thought it was a good bargain.

Now, I will just dream of a Thai massage to soothe my body aches ;)
