Recent - Make Over oF my Study PlaCe~

Since my move from a two bedroom apartment to an one bedroom apartment in March, I didn't really have the time to tidy and unpack my stuff. They were all in the Nong Shim Boxes, which makes my whole apartment looks like a WAREHOUSE.

Therefore after finishing my semester, I spend almost more than two weeks to clean and throw away all the unwanted stuff. Due to non-stop mole increasing living at my old black brown's cabinet's edge, I took the opportunity to get rid of it and decided to head IKEA for a replacement.


the EXPEDIT Series from Ikea

I was totally fascinated by the EXPEDIT series, which looks more elegant and costly. With my interior desginer sense, I just can't stop looking at it; although my dear hubby was telling me that it cost more and wanted a cheaper one instead. I wasn't really satisfied; and went on spending two days in the IKEA measuring, and a long night of hours coming up with proposal plan sketches to persuade my so called client - Hubby.

I guess my profession really works; because we finally bought two shelving units from EXPEDIT and re-arrange our living room. So this is it.

Argh, too bad that I have forgotten to take pictures of what is it before my make over. Of course, it still looks messy now, because I am still having a housemate staying with us. There are still few areas that I have to cleaned up after he is gone.

But at least now my 32'' inch TV is sitting comfortably and ready to be on with my beloved Wii and PS3. It looks perfectly well with the EXPEDIT shelf.

All these years since 2006 when I started my profession, I have also collected a series of magazines to keep on update myself with latest technologies and design trend. It's now all arranged and divided by the holders.

One of the best thing about the EXPEDIT shelf which I like the most, is the fixed shelf and the 33cm Width X 33 cm Height holes, which perfectly sits with my existing transparent boxes that I have. I am sure you will agree that I have many junks.

Lastly is my laptop - DELL XPS sitting together with my two monitors. I know I am spoilted by the wide screen, but it's really nuts if you are trying to do the mutli-tasking design works by looking at the small screen of the laptop for long hours.

Not sure who do you think about my make over; but certainly I am satisfied and happy with it.

Coming Up - Auckland, New Zealand Trip

30th of June 2011 is one of luckiest day in my life; my wish since 2009 has finally going to come true. At least we have received the pre-grant email. It has been years and months that I have been waited for that email to come. So to make it come true, I am going to New Zealand - Auckland with my dear hubby.

Auckland used to be the capital of New Zealand. Although it was later on replaced with Wellington in 1865, but it is still one of the largest and most pupolated urban area in New Zealand. Of course, don't compare it with Hong Kong or New York. They call it the City of Sails.

It has been a while since I went to New Zealand, in 2005. So it's not a bad idea to travel again and refresh my memory. Therefore I won't be able to blog for next week, but I will definitely be bringing some thoughts and experience back. Wishing myself a safe journey to New Zealand ! Bon Vogaye~
