There's a down time in the office today, hence calls for a good time to slack browse for any potential decorative items for our future living space. Hehe.
Background: My husband and I will be expecting approximately 11 guests to our (temporary) humble abode this month. He also gave me an extensive list of food items he would want me to cook as he said it tasted good. Hahaha; bukan aku cakap ye - suami aku yang cakap. Alhamdulillah.
That aside, we realised we do not have enough plates and cutleries for the no. of guests that we'll be expecting. We only have 4 plates, 2 bowls, few mugs, and that's about it. You know what this means? It's a call for shoppinggggg!
I then decide maybe I should start buying cutleries that I would bring over to our own place next time. Hyperventilated when I landed myself to these in Taobao.
[Note: I am currently learning the ropes of buying items from Taobao from my colleague, whom her sister purchased her house items from Taobao. And I'm not talking about small decorative items ok. It's as huge as a bath tub with Jacuzzi features. Yes, bath tub! Floor tiles, wardrobes. So, insya'Allah once I have fully understood on how to buy items from Taobao, I will dedicate an entry on how to buy items from Taobao, and hopefully benefit us all.]
Anywayyy, I digressed. These are the items that I was talking about:
Or maybeeee, start buying them and store them inside the store room instead?.

Tak ke mata rambang tengok?! Especially since I am into Minimalist Japanese Scandinavian. Whoop whoop! The natural wood grains... ahhh love.
Which reminds me... The other day, my elder sister brought me to Hommage Lifestyle at 40 Jalan Pemimpin. The wooden natural oak furniture, the kitchen ware, the mattresses! Kira macam love at first sight gitu.
The price tag is not that cheap though. But we learned from the owner (who walked us around the showroom), that there's a reason behind the hefty price tag. It was due to the fine workmanship and the long lifespan of the items. The Japanese make their furniture solid and strong for the following reasons:
- They can bring the furniture over to their new place if they move.
- They often have earthquakes.
So let's say in an event of a mild earthquake, the Japanese are to take cover under their sturdy tables - which she tested it out (for us to see) by standing on a knee-high coffee table and using her body weight to swing left and right so as to shake the table. It was really very sturdy! Wow, really impressive, I must say. We went ooohhh... ahhhh... when she explained to us patiently regarding the furniture that was displayed in their showroom.
Actually, the reason we were there was all thanks to a Chabatree warehouse sale that was located at the same level, just another unit - and conveniently, was under Hommage Lifestyle too. Hahaha. So kita apa lagi?! The inner makciks in us came out to play.
As you can see, I loveeeee all these natural Japanese wooden trays and the likes. So, kita pun mata rambang and terrrrbeli satu chopping board. I told myself that we needed a new one to replace the one at home. The one we have at home - the handle dah putus. So, I am buying this as a replacement. Hahahaha. Tak salah kan? #attempttopujukdiri lololol.
Ahhh... So excited. Can't wait to have my own place, so that I can slowly purchase all these items over the months and years and call the unit, home. :)
