My Apartment

The lovely kitchen. Small but functional. The folding table by the stove was added recently - courtesy from IKEA. I don't have much preparation area space, so the folding table was added to solve that problem.

The view of the back dor and my new tandem stroller I bought to push both Ayman and Ammar together. They cannot seem to agree who I push at one time, so to solve THAT problem, I decided to buy a new tandem stroller. Anyway, it's a pretty normal sight here to push a tandem stroller, unlike in Malaysia.

This is the living area, and the model in front of the TV is of course, Ammar. I got the IKEA couch for only $100, and it costs more than $400. It's less than two years old, and the previous owner were a German couple, who was here for a 2 year exchange with UCLA. So, I got it from craigslist. The funny thing was that I surfed the craigslist to get a Queen-sized bed and found their ad posted. So, Paco, Nicky and me went to their place, which is near Melrose (*wink *wink), and instead of a Queen-sized bed, I got a whole bunch of things from them at only $300. The items I got were (all IKEA let me tell you!!) - A Queen-sized bed and mattress, dining table (only), couch. These items were $300, but they threw in a whole bunch of things for free - 5 IKEA LACK sidetables, 2 IKEA lamps, an IKEA starterbox which is full of plates, mugs, glasses, cooking utensils, forks and spoons, a whole bunch of containers for cooking items, 2 IKEA pillows, 2 IKEA quilts, spare IKEA bulbs for the lamps (which were floor lamp and table lamp)... and other misc stuffs.

The dining table as mentioned. The benches are brand new though. Still IKEA. :D

Bathroom with seaworld shower curtain - to encourage the kids to bathe, of course. The rug in front of the bathtub is from IKEA, other items are from Walmart. :D
