IKEA Busa Play Tunnel & Cirkustalt Circus Tent

I have been wanting to snag the play tunnel and circus tent at IKEA for some time. However, I somehow just didn't. Last weekend, we decided to get it.  The first two wire baskets housing the tents were empty. And then hubs found another basket elsewhere with only two tents left! Yay!

IKEA Circus Tent @ RM49.90

IKEA Play Tunnel @ RM49.90

My kids love these... I keep the tent downstairs as there is already a castle tent in the bedroom upstairs... Too many tents, perhaps?

IKEA Poang Children's Armchair

As soon as the IKEA 2014 catalogue was out I downloaded the app. And when I went to visit my mom last weekend, she had safely kept the catalogue for me. One of the things that caught my eye was the Poang Children's Armchair. Exactly like its adult counterpart but on a smaller scale, this armchair was too cute to resist. I showed hubs the armchair in the catalogue and left it at that. Little did I know that he liked it too! Yippee!! So when we went to IKEA and hubs was looking for the armchair I was ecstatic. Crazy mom shopping mode on! *Grin

We didn't find any on display, either because there weren't any on display (which I doubt) or because of the crowd! IKEA was packed..I mean more than usual anyway. My kids love to stand in front of the TV and it drives us sick with worry for their eyesight and hearing. We were hoping that by buying this armchair, they would be encouraged to give the habit up.

Cute right? Hubs assembled it in a jiffy. I was the handy helper who put the cover on! Haha.. Last year's price was RM139. Now it's RM89... 

Leasehold vs Freehold: Freehold

I guess the title should be a give away... After much consideration, we decided to only look at freehold properties. This was after an agent pointed out that freehold properties appreciate much faster than leasehold properties that tend to take a rather linear appreciation. Don't take into account the current crazy property market trend. Think in years to come and many people are still hesitant or even totally against purchasing a leasehold property. Surprisingly after we purchased our first home (YAY!!) I was surprised by the number of people who asked me whether it was leasehold or freehold. Well freehold or leasehold, I think the important thing is we've purchased our first home!!! Thank you, Lord!
