2007
Approximately a year ago, I discovered a thick red book in a school library. A very special catalogue, to be precise, of a Bauhaus exhibition at Putra World Trade Centre 18 years ago. I find this version of the Bauhaus font more authentic-looking than the 1993 revision [?]. Cool stuff like this never happens in KL nowadays.
A field trip to Teknion's manufacturing plant in Klang. The picture above was a suspended conveyor belt with shelving system parts dangling on its way to a massive... thing that coats them with pigmented powder. It made me think of a horror film where the victim would be hooked on the conveyor belt and get sprayed and baked in the massive... thing.
And speaking of pigmented powder coating, the digital IKEA catalogue 2009 has been out for some weeks on the US site... you can view [then download] it here [now in Spanish, too!]. You can then welcome its arrival to your mailboxes in the middle of next month [September]. Also, the claims IKEA make, saying that their products are getting cheaper by the year is not a hundred percent true! This year they may lower the price of a MELLTORP table by RM 40, but a FRITZ chair may be RM 40 more expensive than last year's prices. Makes no difference! I am also very disappointed to find my desired IKEA PS locker priced at RM 399 when last year's price was RM 249.

Hey there,
Love reading your blog,its different from any other blogs lah. :P
I know you are always out on your walkabouts,soI was just wondering, if you know any second hand (bundle) stores that sell old handbags.
Please tolong I?
Sorry I am not big into old handbags but there are some small trendy shops in the city selling those [too embarrassed to name them]. You can try scouting for them in Malacca. There is a curiosity shop in Pasar Besar Taman Tun Dr. Ismail that might have something you like. Or the flea market at Amcorp Mall on Sundays.
