Trip to IKEA Tampines - 4th January 2009

It was an impromptu decision to go there as we had never been there plus there is a free shuttle service from Bedok MRT station (Claire & me were staying at Mum's place for that night)

We were lucky coz the shuttle bus arrived like 5-10 minutes when we reached the MRT station. As usual, ppl tried to rush onto the bus. I was so worried that they might squash Claire coz i was piggy backing her with the Pikkolo! The ride took about 20-30 minutes, Ms Claire wanted to fuss but was stopped by our attempts to distract her with play or sometimes my stern face & words.

Well, the place is bigger than the one at Alexandra but I think the food served at Alexandra is better than Tampines! After dinner, we walked around the place to digest our food. Ms Claire saw this soft toy (a cat) and hugged it. We tried to entice her with other soft toy but she still wants the cat so we bought her that.

Now this cat is sitting at my Mum's place and for her to play with. We seriously hope that the cat will not be another white elephant.
