NEVER CEASE TO DREAM

Yup! I've managed to get my ~~labour workers~~ guy friends to come down all the way to that rather inaccessible Paya Lebar house to paint doors for me!

You will probably laugh at us, saying that this job is such an easy feet. But, I warn you, it's NOT easy at all!

Here are some of the cute shots of my helpers!

Alright. When we got the hang of painting, we were actually quite good at it. Hahahaha! Well, but we got all stained up! Especially our feet, you guys definitely need to prepare magazine slippers, rag and thinner!! A must to prevent stains around the house and a stain-free bodeh~!

One funny incident acutally happened right at the start of the painting. As Andre was painting the main door, he was sitting right next to the gate. And then while the rest of us were busy doing other things, we heard a LOUD scream from him! Well, as well as a dog's bark! Wahahahah! For the dog was just a gate away from him, about 15cm? As he's afraid of dogs, that was really a huge shock for him!

Blah blah, when we're finally done for the first layer, we called if off the day. Then, we had some difficulties washing off the stains on us. We tried everything, but none worked except the Clif soap which is actually for shiny and cleaner utensils, tables, sinks and appliances.

In the end, Edwin and me gave up, and left for Bugis with artistic splashes of yellow paint on our feet and calves. So funny! I felt so dirty la!

So yea, we went to Bugis and walked around, before we headed to Ikea Tampines by free shuttlebus. At first, we were doubting the existence of the free shuttlebus as we afraid that the logic of the blind follow the blind. This is also because there was no sign stating that the quene was for Ikea Tampines but Viva Tampines! What?! Viva in Tamp?!

Well, some actually left the quene, which Andre named them as losers. Haha! But we were greater losers when we boarded the bus after 20 minutes of waiting, and laughing at them for leaving the quene! Wahahahaha!

Yup. The first thing we did was to settle our growling stomach. I had poached salmon and meatballs! Omg!!! It's soooooo niceeeeeeee!!! And the quene was very long too! But it's worth the waiting la! Haha!

After dinner, we followed the trails and walked around Ikea. And we did funny catalougue photoshots (much to the influence of America's Next Top Model). It was so funny! Cause the tactic of a GOOD catalougue photoshot is to laugh out loud at the cameraman. People at Ikea were giving us weird glances. But who cares? Wahahahhahahahha!
