Beddinge 3-seater sofabed from Ikea

Finally, I've saved some moolahs to buy the sofabed from Ikea. Why a sofabed? This is so that my sisters/family can sleep on it when they come here for a night or two.  We only have 1 guestroom with a queen sized bed and I don't think that it is sufficient especially when more than 2 guests are around. Some more I felt like I wanted to change my current sofa hence the sofabed is the best choice. 


Probably I'll buy a nicer sofa for the living room once I have the ka-ching and I can bring the sofabed upstairs :). 


The total cost inclusive of the frame, sofabed cover and the bed is RM799.  You have to collect the 3 items yourself from the aisle stated on the tag.  We paid them to install the frame, it's 5% of the total frame cost - only RM12.

What will happen to our existing sofa? Well, I'm gonna send the 3-seater for recycling while I keep the one seater and lounge seat for now. :)

The bedframe..the before look :)
Tadaa! The after look..and no, Ikea does not give a husband as part of the package. :p

The cost price of the sofabed. In total we paid  RM799+RM12 (installation cost)+RM65 (delivery cost)

Till then, toodles!

It's not congrates..it's CONGRATS! CONGRATS!

I keep seeing the 'congrates' word ever so often on FB and it just annoys me. What's congrates? Can somebody tell me where this alien word comes from?  Yes, little things that can drive me up the wall.  Congrats - the short form for Congratulations. Simple as that.  It is not Congrates, Congrat, Congratulation and shall never will be.

Same goes with defination. It's definition. In malay pun ada yang dah sebut definasi..err, setau i masa belajar tak wujud perkataan ni, unless it's recently created and I didn't know about it.
Why o why do I get agitated with small issues such as this? Okay, maybe because I want to stop this 'fever' from spreading to my future anak cucu cicit. Oh, the agony.

So let's all work together, hand in hand and put a stop to all this nonsense.

Till then, toodles.

Random thought on a Wednesday morning

Just a random thought that came to mind recently. One big issue I see with onlilne shopping is……. You don’t burn any fat. It’s because you look at something you like from the comforts of your bed/couch/chair/toilet seat/bathtub etc, click m2u and done!
With real shopping you actually physically go from one store to another  looking for that one (or two) thing(s) that you need (read: want!).  In this case you really do burn some fat (although we recover the lost fat by eating lunch.. and maaaaaaybe some dessert..mwahahaa). 

Aih, I normally plan where I need to go..mindless shopping trips would definitely kill me..or my other half J . Plan, plan, plan..budget, budget, budget. Tapi ade je sometimes terbabas from the planned budget. It's hard to overcome the need to have something new right?

By the way, made my first ever purchase with Princess Stylo Victoria (such a mouthful) and got this Coach bag for RM5XX, can’t recall the exact price. So okay, it’s a trusted seller. Kalau tak, confirm duit lesap bag pun tak dapat.  But i did my research first before ordering so okayla kot :) Kind of used this bag nearly every single day now..macam boleh koyak je because I put so many things inside! Sometimes I event put an umbrella in my bag… :p Mesti nak kena utilise fully :)

Just a short  note for today.
That reminds me, I've paid our Indah Water bill, have you? hehe..

Till then, toodles!

It does not look that sexy now that I've used it ever so often.

Scarves from Opsie Daisy :)

I befriended Opsie Daisy (an online seller of clothes and scarves and other things i think) on Facebook and on certain occasions I would buy stuff from her. I bought one fancy schmancy kaftan (which I don't know when I will be wearing it) and then recently I bought 2 scarves from her.

I saw her posting the scarves on FB and sort of liked them. I spent about RM78 for both scarves. Maybe I could have gotten it cheaper outside but it's more convenient to buy it online. And yes, try to do your homework before buying things online. I asked around about Opsie Daisy where I've a friend who had bought stuff from her before.

Boy o boy. It's so easy to get hooked on online shopping. It's a good thing because it's convenient. The cons would be of that we can't see what it really looks like until after we've bought it and that, duit senang sangat keluar sebab asal nampak cantik menarik nak beli. Must always make it a point to check our bank balances and see if we have sufficient funds for shopping. Pay our monthly commitments/ debts first baru boleh shop dengan senang hati. Yeah!

Till then, toodles!

Scarf numero uno. Chubby wubby face I have. :p. I like this one sebab dia tak lembut sangat and easy to shape.

Scarf no 2. A bit too lembut for me..soft cotton.  had to struggle to find a way to wear it.

Pacific Coffee Company - Setia City Mall

Finally Pacific Coffee Company (PCC) is located somewhat nearby our house. The other store i know is located in Pavilion KL which is like far, far away from our crib. And we are not the type of people who would venture into KL during the weekends.


During our second visit to Setia City Mall, this time bringing my big sis (she got excited when I told her about this new mall), we decided to have coffee at PCC.  And of course ordering the Mochacino was a must and also a slice of mango cheese cake dessert. The mochacino is a bit different from the ones we had in Hong Kong, nevertheless, asalkan ada and dapat satisfy our cravings for the drink.


The mango cheesecake was yummy. It's light and not too creamy/cheesy. Some people like the creamy cheesy ones (like my hubs who loves the Chicago Cheesecake from Coffee Bean), so maybe they won't like this cake. For me and my sis, we like it!


I am planning on my next visit to Setia City Mall...but then again it's gonna be the fasting month in a few days' time..maybe I should cool it down. Am not the type who can walk/shop for hours while fasting. I'll probably faint. Lol.


Till then, toodles!

Mochacino and mango cheesecake. Yum!

Just something that caught our eyes at the cashier...tee hee hee :)

San Francisco Coffee KLCC

Coffee, coffee and more coffee! My favourite coffee joint near our office now is San Francisco Coffee at KLCC. It's located on the 1st floor, near the escalator that is located near the exit to the LRT. 

They serve a variety of breakfast sets, from pancakes (which are superhuge! Didnt finish mine when I ordered them the last time), to breakfast burritos, to american breakfast, coddled eggs with toasts and lots more. The cheapest set would be the breakfast burrito (RM9.95) and second cheapest is the coddled eggs set (RM10.50++). All the breakfast sets come with coffee or tea (but I don't know why I have never checked whether they are refillable or not).

San Fran also serves food for lunch - from spaghetti based menu to sandwiches. The sandwiches are quite good - love them.  The latte is quite good too. Well, I don't go to this place that often because it will surely put a dent to my purse, once in a while tu okaylah. Especially when the salary's just in. Heh! :)

Oh, one good thing about it, especially for an early bird like me, it's opened for business as early as 6.30am everyday (not sure about the weekends though).

So if you want good coffee and a wholesome breakfast, give this place a try! And no, I am not paid to do a promo for them.

They have a good motto - Saving Good People from Bad Coffee. Hehe.


Seriously, I don't know what is up with the file that I cannot rotate the pic. well, it's as good as it gets. Coddled eggs set comes with toast, butter and jam. Cute right?

Austin Chase Plaza Shah Alam

There's a new coffee place in town and we went there to see if the coffee (and food) is any good. It's located at the same level as Nyonya Kitchen - not too sure what floor that is. I initially thought it's like Starbucks and Coffee Bean but they actually serve a variety of food from appetisers to main courses. 


I ordered lamb shank something and hubs had grilled salmon with mash potatoes and veggies. The lamb shank was good only i think I should order it when I have someone else to share it with. Since hubs is staying away from meat stuff, I had to finish the lamb shank myself. 


I ordered latte i think..it came in a small cup. Not value for money at RM11 ( I think) per cup. Mahal sangat pricingnya... in total for food and drinks, it cost us RM85. A bit expensive..maybe I won't go there for lunch or dinner anymore. They serve breakfast sets as well (not as expensive as their a la carte menu), which comes with a free refill up to 11am. They open at 8am every day if I am not mistaken. Perhaps I'll give the breakfast set a try someday.

the lamb shank. Yummy looking no? That big mug - not my latte, it's just plain water.

Setia City Mall review

I have gone Missing in Action (M.I.A) for a few months now and my first entry is about a new shopping mall? Maybe because I just like the new mall so much that I have to write something about it.

This mall has nearly anything and everything under the sun. Love it. We reached the mall around 10.30am and most of the stores are already opened and ready for business. Yes, we were really early because a bit kiasulah..and also because we thought it was far from home. We took the NKVE towards Klang, took the Setia Alam exit and if I am not mistaken, we went up the first flyover (to turn right) after Setia Alam toll to get to the mall.

Parking wise - i think ample space. But I just don't know why people still want to park outside. Bayar sikit la for keselesaan masing-masing and also to not inconvenienced other people who want to park inside. Weekend rate is RM3 for the first 3 hours and RM1 for every hour after that. Can't recall the weekday rates.

We went to the GSC cinema.. love it. Probably because it's new. :) Oh yes, what about facilities? LOVE the restrooms! They have many cubicles in every restroom and they have it at every floor. So even when there are many people, you can always go to the upper floor to have a more comfy time in the loo. Lol :)

F&B? So many so many so many choices! Nando's, Mcd, Delicious (yummm), Pho Hoa, Starbucks, Pacific Coffee Company, Auntie Anne's, Sweet Chat, Fullhouse, Carl's Jr, Teh tarik Place, Papa John's, Tony Roma's and many more. 

Shopping? You name it, they have got it. Love the Parkson store here because they have a lot of choices (yes handbags and shoes!!!). Zara, Crabtree and Evelyn, Bobbi Brown, MAC, Niichi, Mango, a whole line of shops for baby/children's clothes..I can't list everything in here but I think you get my point.

Setia City Mall's website also has an app - if you download it, it's easy to find the store that you want to go to. They provide the directory in the app. So easy peasy. 

If you want to know more, go to http://www.setiacitymall.com/ Have a funtastic time at the mall y'all! this will be my second favourite to Subang Parade :)
