amy calls me a cheap date considering how i'm easily satisfied with things like iced-milo, coke, ribena, biscuit etc. i dun exactly like the term considering how cheap has a negative connotation when it comes to people. but other than that, cheap is good. especially when it comes to food, entertainment, holidays, leisure, clothes etc. just don't want to be described as cheap ya. but it's all these little delightful things that makes work such fun. like fortune telling or story telling with yanyan biscuits, reminiscing about the past while eating "flower" biscuits, alphabet biscuits and ear biscuits.

it's been a sluggish week and everyone seems to be coming to work late and leaving earlier. as interns, bobo and i being the artistic and creative ones got the priviledge to turn the LHK office and yf room to look more youthy and friendly. so we got to go down to ikea today to check out some stuff and get inspiration and ideas :)

having the priviledge to go down to ikea during office hours meant we were fortunate enough to also have lunch at ikea with those nice yummy swedish meatballs :) and since there were alot of other people who cannot come along with us, we kept them in mind while enjoying our meal. each mouth of meatball and sauce was said with "this is for _______"

there was alot of amusing things there like this superbly weird mask for kids which consisted of bee, bear, rabbit, dog, cat, princess, squid/octopus etc. we were tempted to buy one for ourselves cos it was so amusing we wanted to buy it to wear for work..just for the retardity of the whole thing.

during this trip to ikea we had loads of fun looking at very strange stuff that was really very amusing. for example...
funnily creative object NUMBER 1: handwarmer cushion


being a very professional photographer, i have to credit my beautiful model for her beautiful hands. haha! you see...it's a cushion. very happy and nice...the funny and amusing thing is the handwarmers. very good for office people who work in the "arctic region" of their office and have no control over the wintery bitter winds. bobo the model claims that it really keeps ur hands snug and warm. haha. cool stuff.

funnily creative object NUMBER 2: save food baby(or if you're super stingy/desperate, adults can use it too) bib
it isn't very obvious in the picture, but this baby bib has a pocket at the bottom. what it's really for i have no idea, but i think it's really to save food. I mean..the reason why babies use bibs is because they always eat very messily with food dropping all over the place. with the big worry about depleting resources and starving population, this bib can solve the problem of wasting food! how does it work? well..SIMPLE! while you feed the baby, any excess food that the baby fails to keep within its mouth will drop on the bib. and this is where the product design comes in. the smooth waterproof material enables all kinds of food, whether wet or saucy or sticky, it will slide down the smooth waterproof surface and collect at the pocket of the bib.

so , whatever food or goo collected at the bottom can always be rescooped to feed the kid, or to save it for the next meal :) GO EARTH SAVING!

we have such creative people :)
