I was driving past OfficeWorks last Friday after renewing my passport when I casually asked L if she wanted to drop by the store to have a quick look before we head home. “Why not?”, she said. It proved to be one of my biggest mistakes this year when we had a temporary high of furniture shopping.
It started with a computer desk which L decided to get for my Valentine’s. Then, a bookshelf to go with it. This followed with a reclining chair which I later realised that I’d need a new chair mat to go with since I’m giving my old ones to my nephew.
Total damage to the wallet after a couple of hours:
$150 bookshelf
$180 chair
$120 chair mat
$200 computer desk (thanks for the desk, L)
After a lot of heavy lifting and a LOT of assembling with the help of my mate (Jay), my room now looks completely different.
Lo and behold, my brand new, revamped workspace.
Please ignore the messy, pink (and mismatched) bed-sheet and the brown towel on the new chair.
A neater shot.
All I need now is a pot of fake plant for the desk, a small bedside table, and a coat hanger (to hang my towels and jackets). I really should have gotten all the furniture from IKEA though (I think it’s cheaper and better there). Ah wells, maybe next time.
I’m officially broke.

Nope, I changed them recently though (a much more coordinated one).
