Day 2 - Shopping @IKEA, having a friend over, unpacking and dinner

We are suppose to have a hearty breakfast @ LOTS gourmet shop with our friend Alex, but it was not open for Deepavali. So we ended up @ IKEA Tampines for late breaky and started shopping. 

We got a carpet, a laundry drawer storage, store room shelving brackets, paper napkins, bulbs, and some loose barangs. As we are checking out we saw a huge range of Xmas decor items, but its a bit too early & we have not sort out our mess @ home. 

Also @ the AS-IS corner, Mrs found a really good deal for shelve which we can use for a shoe cabinet. I reckon this is probably one of the kitchen shelves which is extremely robust for IKEA standard. RRP $68 to discounted price $48. So we intend to get this to put outside our unit for slippers & guest shoes. To improvise is slight, we are adding legs so that we can raise to facilitate cleaning. 

Our kind Alex help us carry the cabinet and rest of our barangs to our place. So we have to thank him buy serving him with what we can find in our fridge. He is also our very first VIP guest that had view our home [not ready].

For dinner, we had slight improvement from yesterday with the following.

The Menu

- pan fried fish fillet with freshly grounded green peppercorns

- boiled jie-lan with starchy garlic+oyster sauce

Also, from today we have placemats for our plates to prevent scratches on my Solid Ash table top.
