Oh the SALE! don't you just love it that the great Malaysia sale is back? I think it's getting better and better that I no longer look forward for the (now i consider..) overrated Great Singapore Sale.
So..as usual, I never missed 1 sale event without at least a story to sigh for during end-of-the-month..this time, my story started with RM45.
I was in IKEA shopping for curtain rods for my new home in jb. Knowing how chronic my compulsiveness when browsing while trailing the arrows painted in the sweedish floor, I decided to short-cut my way straight to the rod n blinds section. Once the trolley's filled with rods, the thought of skipping unnecessary stops to get to the cashier slipped and probably stayed in IKEA till now...cuz str8 after the rods, I stop at every other sections..even grabbed some item next to the cashier while queing. it all begins in the sectian somewhere after curtain, the bed covers section
I saw this Quilt cover, queen size with 4 pillow cases. It was only RM45. Seeing what a good deal this was, I grabbed the orange printed offer without any hesitation. As usual, my super active brain was already visualizing my bedroom and all the way to the cashier, I took at least 1 item frm every section to compliment my new bed theme..it doesn't end there. While driving back frm IKEA, my mind got excited n start visualing revamps of my slumberland.
So the next day, I dragged my victim, Hani, to get 2 bucket of paints and countless more stuf for painting purpose, and another countless more decorative stuff plus another quilt cover I saw while looking for a bedspread to match my 45 bucks IKEA covers (which I didn't even get in the end).
After abt an hour spent in the hardware, I spent the rest of the night coming up and down a stool painting my 2 walls with Tiffany turquoise.
Being a perfectionist,
I couldnt wait to see the result thus, got the paint job done in 4 hours (pretty record for a 1st timer huh..)..but...
Being a perfectionist stuck in a klutzy body,
means the edges were comot and needless to explain, how I spent the nxt hour scraping off paint on my bedroom floor..I wish I could ctrl+z-ing smudges and use healing tools for the tarnished cream wall adjacent to the freshly painted..but I couldn't, so I came up with another idea and bought a bucket of black paint to border my wall@ to cover the mess (have not even jab open the Nippon cover, to date)..
I slept for a mere 3 to 4 hours but the next morning, another ingenius idea popped (self appraisal, in context of keeping a positive mind), I went to IKEA and get a shelf as part of the so-called makeover programe and decided to give a go to mission impossible, to drill the wall myself. so that day, I gotta settle changing the bed covers + squeak-clean the bedroom floors + frame suitable pix to hang on the wall + drill n fit the shelf + drill to fit a mirror above the shelf and take a bath within the next 7 hours before an appointment...which also means, i was suppose to get ready too..
Everything went out quite well despite the hullaballoos n chaos caused by my sister who never failed to make everything move at a very slow pace to suit her 'blessed' nature (she came for a wknd away frm college to remind me that i should hav strangled her when she was a baby, but I couldn't now cuz I've thought myself to love her). The repercussion frm much attn paid to my sister's boyfriend issues, I haywiredly hung the frames at the very last 15 minutes b4 he arrived..With no idea what pix to frame, I managed to vandalize some of my art books collection (they're probably not even in our local bookstores!*sniff*sniff*),,and mixed in some humour ripped out from my batman comic. Si, there's a batman infamous trademark on top of my head. (probably the reason y last night I talked in my sleep and got up to gesture my sleep-talkings for the 1st time in about 6 years..
but its all worth it to end up with a month's salary to ensure the orange quilt cover is a value-for-money. and tho i'll still sigh, this time ive a nice bedroom to release all the tense in..phew....
