Our 1st Visit to Ikea Tampines

On Sunday morning, it was raining quite heavily, so Anthea did not go for her usual swim with my MIL.

Since we are home and Adrian is also not working. We decided to visit the IKEA Mega mall in Tampines. When we reached the place, our 1st stop was lunch. The food mall was big and very crowded. Luckily we found a table for 4 of us. We had their famous spaghettis with meatball, kid's meal - spaghettis and chicken nuggets. The children enjoyed the food.

After we finished our lunch, it was shopping time. While shopping, we met Uncle HT and he was there with his family. Both Anthea and Anders were so happy to see their uncle MK; they wanted to play with him. We told them after buying the stuff, we will meet with them again, then only they were willing to move on.

2 weeks back, we did some furniture changes to our current beds arrangement. All these while, Anders had been sleeping on the mattress on the floor. Having read from the Baby Forum that it was no advisable for children to sleep on the floor for prolonged time, so he now sleep on the Queen size bed with me.

So this mean that one of our rooms is now empty and Adrian decided to used it as his reading room. So we shifted our study desk to the empty room.

With the study desk gone, we need another simple table to put our laptop and printer, so our main intention to Ikea was to get it.

We found the exact table that we wanted – Vika Amon / Vika curry table. The price is at $39.00.

Then we saw this very nice chest of 6 drawers include a built in mirror – MALM series that cost $249.00. I love it because it was slim and small, save space. We bought it as well.

My current dressing table is one of those OLD-fashioned and bulky type.. : P

The 2 items that we bought are under self- serve, so we have to navigate ourselves to the different racks / sections to pick up the items. I must say, the warehouse area is HUGE and very spacious.

After paying for our 2 items, we headed for home, it was quite a challenge to pack the carton of drawers into our car and we managed.

Adrian had set up the table which was a simple task. As for the drawers, it was not easy but I am proud to say: He DID it. Adrian is quite a DIY person, anything that breaks down at home or whatever needed to be fixed, he will try to put them back.

We had a fun time at IKEA and i told Adrian that we must come again - visit the Giant Megamart that is just across the road.
