Postcard Project Joyce

Inspired by The Sketchbook Project. A project whereby you sign up for a moleskin sketchbook, fill up all the pages and then mail it back to the good ppl, who will put it on tour. Yup, it be like a art/book tour of sketchbooks and can even be borrowed like a library book. So cool. Imagine a collection of sketchbooks by ppl from all over converging in one place. Its like a an orgy of artistic realities. 

Super tempted to join, but I worry that I never finish it. Cos I'm plagued by this disease you see. I get all hyped up about an idea and I hop on the bandwagon before you can even say GO! and after I explore the whole nine yard to see where it takes me, the buzz fades and another project gets slammed into the crevices of garbageland. 

So here is yet another one of my brilliant plans! I got 50 pieces of postcards and shall fill it up  until its all gone. Time limit is this entire Summer holiday, so until the end of September I have to get it all done. 50 pieces in 54 days.What will I do with them after its all done? I shall send them all out, leave them lying in public places, mailing them to ppl... Postcards lead a secret life of their own. They need to be seen to live. Maybe in the mail, getting molested by postman and stuff. Who am I to keep them from their ultimate destiny.

I Lap IKEA!!!

And I shall say it again! I lap IKEA!
Why? Oh, only just because they have the best service around, not to mention the affordable, simple yet stylish designs. And the fact that the designs are easily fixed up, no wrestle and hassle with complicated manuals, and they work really well. And the showrooms are GREAT! I just love spending time there to soak it up and get ideas. You can see all the work and thought gone into producing all this stuff and its so inspiring. Been to IKEA`s in Singapore, Malaysia and Japan to date and I`ve got to say. I enjoyed it every single time. Gosh, I know. I sound so infatuated. Well what to do? I give praise when its deserved. :D

Before I bore you any further. Let`s hop on the free shuttle service to IKEA. You can just tell there will be oodles of pictures coming up huh? :P
When we first got there and got gobsmacked with the awesome showrooms, I tell you, my eyes was blurring cos it could not keep up with the sights in front of me. Haha...... just had to soak it up and let it all sink in. I could tell, MayC was blurring too. Haha..... cos she did not speak to me for a long time and kept touching stuff, sitting down on sofas and pottering about. But all that was before we went
"Wah, so nice!"
"Eh, thats cool."
"Maaaannnn, I wish I could buy that but, I know its not practical"
"OMG, look at that"

So after reality sunk in, the first pic.
Oh, this I really like. Wall to wall, filled with nothing but books! And since just normal shelfs alone are so boring and last century, add cupboards, lighting, some deco, and don`t forget the amazing can die for ladder on the left handside, and you get a really nice reading room. Oh wait, I forgot, a nice and cosy armchair, reading light, coffeetable and carpet. Gosh, I think I just found the perfect design for my dream reading room. *Swoons*
Another mirror, and darling MayC could not resist.
This room did not get made up that nice. But check out the cool torch flame lighting. So totally cool for a castle themed bedroom. And the candy striped armchair`s cool too. and the battlements on the wall is just divine. I was thinking, throw away the ulgy placemat under the torch and replace wif a cool parchment of a castle map. Have a dark green or blue shade for the bedspread with golden tassles if possible. Add a crocodile carpet and a joker pillow to the armchair. Don`t know why, but all these just came to mind. :D
This is another cool thing. Can you figure out what it is? Hehe....this can possibly solve all your laundry problems. The tree-like thinge is to hang clothing that can still be worn, and the black hole is for you to throw all your laundry in. Totally atas compared to a laundry basket no? :DO ho. And we have reached the toy section. MayC persuaded me to camwhore with the crocodile.And I avenged myself right back. Although, I think she rather enjoyed it. :PPPNow its time for our lunch break. Check out the cafeteria.
Lunch consist of :

MayC`s Apple pork delight

Joyce`s Beef steak

I forgot the real names. Just simply give one ah. Don`t blame me when you do go and see different names on the menu. Or when you order MayC`s Apple pork delight and you get blank stares.

Mum always told me to finish my food...

The warehouse. Super the huge.
Le penseur de IKEA

Batgirl in actionBatgirl feeling peckish after all the exercise, hence the hotdog break. And I got free hotdog from batgirl. It came with full service summore. :D

These are so cool. But they remind me of udders.
See, what did I tell you. Full service man. So leng summore. Thanks batgirl :D I lap you too.
Elderflower drink. Interesting huh. Thought it might taste herby. But its really normal beverage, kinda nice and refreshing with just a hint of vegetative extract.
Last but not least, meet MayC`s new family of rats. Yes, rats. There`s Scabbers, Pinky, and the other two would be from Rattatoulie, but we forgot their names. That`s all folks.
