been thinking the same question for about 2 weeks. shall i buy the children bedroom sets now or later? which set? from the furniture shop or from ikea? been checking the same latest ikea catalogue for a week. in the train, in the office, at home after bbb sleeping. ok, as agreed by u, i decided to buy the bedroom set for bbb as their bday gift. minimal set 1st.
7am+ we left banting. went to shah alam to pick up my sis. royee was happy with the digger white t-shirt. this is the shirt that i told u, he saw it at the branded factory outlet, n pick it up by his own n tell me 'mummy, can buy this, got size' look at the shirt, only a digger ooo.. rm29.90. kedekut mummy didnt want to buy it, the way royee looked at the shirt, wow like full of love feeling. i spoiled him finally. bought for him @_@ i always have the feel that, royee is not suitable for white color cloths. hmm
wanted to show his digger to u~we had breakfast at the mcdonald outlet near ikea. royee ate egg. egg with blueberry jam :p then we went in ikea. it was 10am in the morning. my sis said, this shall be final time for us to come to ikea before we moving to new house. so we jalan slow n see what we want to buy. then i was still undecided which bed to buy for bbb. then we went to ikano power center harvey norman.
royee was so happy to see the 2 car shaped bed frame. he saw the same design 2 mths back. rm1199 is too costly for me. 1 bb ok, not for 3 bb. so i pointed the price tag, i told him, 'this is too expansive for mummy to buy it for u, if we bought this bed, then mummy couldnt buy u cupboard n study table' then he moved to the next yellow car, 'then we buy this la, we dont want to buy the red color one' hmm they r same price :( i hold his hand, i said come let's go to ikea, we see if we can find better n nicer bed. he followed me quietly. disappointed huh? but i cant manage to fulfill his 'dream car' at the moment.
he loves this bed so much. for mths!
it's too costly for me :(
once reached ikea, can see royee looks blur n sleepy. given him the cushion as support, very fast, he fall asleep. ppl look at him, like very pity him. what to do, mummy n auntie busy shopping, n rushing time, we have to do this.
sleeping.. in the trolley :(
come to the kids' world. comparing the price n the usage of the furniture. hmm. decided to buy only bed frame n mattress, 1 cupboard for each of them. everything goes for 3 sets. semua money ooooo!!! let royee choose his bedsheet n quilt cover. RED. he chose red. after double confirm, triple confirm, also red. persuade, convince, force him to choose blue or white, NO! muka masam. he wanted red! ok.. since he gonna use the room, i dont want to buy something that i am happy with but he doesnt have the sense of belonging. royee wanted others nice stuff for his room, i asked him to save money 1st, next time we come n buy. he was ok with it. 1 thing i am happy with royee is, he wont crying or shouting for something, if i said no, he would be diam. of course he would have the dissapointed or wet eyes look, somehow, he would understand me n talk something to comfort himself ^_^
our children room's concept
to complete it from time to time
pic taken before lunch. my lovely boy~
the above pic. actually he wanted to show his bob the builder water bottle. too low. so only seen half of it. very seldom i let him drink anything other than milk n plain water. so i would make sure i bring him plain water everytime we go out. normally he would say this to comfort himself 'drink bob the builder's water ok, dont want icy drink, drink cool drink royee will coughing/vomit/stomach ache' my friend said i was too strict to bbb. no sweet/ salty/ chocalate/ fast food/ ice cream/cool drink for our children. i always tell ppl, i want to control them if i still have the power to control their eating habits. very fast, in 1 or 2 years, when they can decide much more things, when they will request for what they want, then i cant control them. luckily, my mama also helping on this. my dad always mention 'your children r different from other ppl children, so sensitive, sikit sikit then throw out' ya, they are premature babies. for sure there are some different from full term babies ma..
we spent time choosing curtain rods and children furniture. we moved everything by our own. heavy! 3 have 3 trolleys, we asked help around, but ppl just ignore us. then we let royee pull 1 of the relatively lighter trolley. he can pull it, but he is not tall enough to look front. so i stop him from hitting ppl or barang. many ppl there looking at us, the face like, wahhh letting small boy pulling this, torturing him ar? tapi, no one come n helping! we handled everything by our own. dont need to seek ppl mercy.
1 of 3 trolleys for home delivery
it was 6pm+ or 7pm+ (recently i shopped without checking time n date) we went to sushi king for dinner. with 1 big trolley. then non stop i thinking, shall i buy the cupboard doors n small table. it cost about rm400+ without this, we may need to come back for this in short time. then my sis went in n helped to buy, as we parked our car quite far. while royee playing at the waiting area, i non stop calculate how much i have spent for the children rooms. rm4k+ for the minimal sets!! when come to this situation, like money not enough to spend situation, for sure this would come in my mind '3 bb are enough already! we need to have quality and not quantity' :p i told my friend, my folic acid is always in my bag, when i look at 3 children playing happily, when i look at ppl newborn sooo cute n lovely, then i take folic acid for my next pregnancy preparation. kekeke.. so confusing n undecided ooo.. 3 bb or 4 bb.. as of now, my answer is 3, coz no more saving now :(
while waiting for ee
aiya, terjatuh!we left ikea at around 10pm. 12 hours! luckily it was free parking. we went to kelana jaya giant to buy some house cleaning accessories. then went back to banting. royee asking for milk then sleep in the car. pity him. didnt have good rest for these few weekends. we reached home after 12am @_@
