Trademark blue and yellow tiles and flatpack trolley. I'll return it when I am done with it. New 2010 catalogue. Always on time! I like the design, the price, but not the typeface. 2007 catalogue ad. 2010 catalogue ad. A bunch of GNEJS. An item from the latest IKEA PS line, a lamp by Front design. TÅRTA MÖRK CHOKLAD. What typeface am I? Meatball ad in parking lot. The menu's new look. New type vs. classic type. smaklig måltid back then. SMAKLIG MÅLTID now. Ugly leaflet design. Take a number. Yes, please improve by regretting over Verdana. Just say 'Meja membungkus'. Who doesn't love a KLIPPAN? Thanks.

This post discusses IKEA's move to use Verdana, a typeface mainly used for its notable legibility on web pages, but also closely associated with Microsoft. In-between paragraphs are images of IKEA which I have captured for the past four years (s...

Nice house. P1160386

I found the house which was used as Meera's residence in the 1995 film Ringgit Kasorrga, which I have written about early this year. A freeze from the film- How it is today- Architecturally, nothing has changed, other than the shelte...

Taman Jaya. Ugly buildings. Tunnel. Conventioners. Traders Hotel lobby. Resting bus. Not Belgium? DDEC sign. business Corporate A badminton duo. Glass floor. Running. No running. May have foxes and snakes. 16th February 2006. 23rd July 2009. The Troika from open-air parking lot. Balconies. Naza building, Dua Residency, Suria Stonor. The Oval. Sight-seeing indeed. Sliding kid. Kid and non-kid.

After hearing and seeing the no-longer-existent cenfad, I've been getting nostalgic on the route I used to take twice a week back in the years 2005-2006, for my inconveniently-late drafting class at 6 pm. Starting from my house at 4.30 p.m., it to...

Little Nisaa'. Without shoes. Nisaa' reads a story. Borrowed items.

I was walking in a quiet neighbourhood somewhere in the outskirts of KL, where security guards patrol on bicycles, one late afternoon on a weekday. I was walking very, very slow, and noticed a girl lurking about on the sidewalk across the street. ...

From B1 - going down. Main entrance. Secondary entrance [closer to Guardian Pharmacy]. Signage. Empty corridor. Guardian pharmacy as a corner lot. Side entrance / check-out. What's inside? Check-outs at the front.

Due to the majority of the visitors of this Notebook coming from Google searches on 'Cold Storage Jaya One', this post will be all about it. I was there today. The official opening is on this coming Thursday, 16th of April. On to the report... Th...

Putu Piring Larkin. Queue. Ais kacang and cat. Mind-spinning! Welcome to High City. Dress code when in Sultan Iskandar building. Old teacher's chairs. Chair with a bum imprint.

I took over a hundred of pictures when I was out of my backyard recently, but I won't write it in a regular 'out-of-town weekend in review' method because I don't go by that format anymore. Somewhere in the southern part of the Malay peninsula......

Tossing bread "The police closed this road when Anwar Ibrahim was charged for sodomy and corruption back in 1998". Vines all over. Greenery all over. Balcony. Glass slats and brick detail. "These are some of the things I collected from my office just now". "I tend to avoid designer furniture". Throne. Air well. Funny fan. Ceiling above living area. Living area. "This is a picture of my son from my husband's previous marriage with a white woman.". Keys and letters. LIFE library is a must for every household before the age of personal computers. "Wanna see my new car?"

Introducing the very first edition of 'Conversations With Strangers', where I have... conversations with strangers. My first subject is Mrs. Majidah Majid, an interior designer originating from Kajang. On one early Sunday evening, my friend JK an...

Bidor fruit stalls. Hole on top. Gilbert & George was here. Gentleman's club? Chung Chen Public Free Night School Building. Damian Hall. Excuse the glare. Way more epic in real life. Still looks new. Green block. Fresh bowl. OCT cabin. Cool roof. Towering.

I have expanded my carbon footprint by driving on scenic old trunk roads to Teluk Intan [formerly known as Teluk Anson], recently. I took an exit from the PLUS highway to Tanjung Malim, hoping to find a pau, but all shops were closed. But that's o...

Ringgit Kasorrga. Tiara Jacquelina as Meera. Deanna Yusoff as Nina. "Hello, I'm the seducer." Nina and Datuk Shah have some juice. Nina confronts Meera. Old gold. With special guest star, Yasmin Yusoff [is she related to Deanna?]. XXL t-shirts. Sunflower dance. Main sponsor YAOHAN. Recognise any buildings? Bangsar before the Sprint Highway. Looks like one of the shops at Jalan Telawi. Pusat Bandar Damansara - where's the jam? The bad guys die at the end. Nice house. Studio doesn't exist.

Down in selected hypermarkets across the Klang Valley, all great for lurking and finding something unexpected, there are bins full of outdated Malay film DVDs. Many titles were from the 1990s; among them were Selubung, XXRay, Maria Mariana, Jimi A...
