Storage

Before choir practise today, we had to run some errands to prepare for our upcoming trip. So after a short afternoon nap, we headed to Marine Parade to do some shopping.

First, we went to Kim Choo at Katong to get those bottled nonya sauces for the family back in Ont. We have always love this particular brand of red curry sauce which we had bought in Malacca. It goes really well when fried with petai and prawn. We discovered later from Mrs Lim that it is also sold here at Kim Choo.

After purchasing the sauces, we headed for the MP Mall which we haven't been for some years. While searching for souvenirs, we found the HSW store which specialises in storage and organisation for the home. So glad to have discovered the store, which apparently has been around for 3 yrs already...

I love to organise my stuff in proper storage, especially since we are living in a small space. So within half an hour in the store, we bought a hanging jewellery organiser and a plastic laptop/breakfast tray. I'm so pleased with our purchase, especially the laptop tray which has side pocket for addition storage and cost us only $13+. We have been looking for one that we could use on our bed, as that's our regular computer workstation. We used to just make do with putting a pillow on our lap. Now, this laptop tray is lightweight, durable, waterproof, good height and I no longer feel the heat from the laptop on my thighs. :)

But of course, we have to be discerning to know if the things are value for money when shopping at HSW, as some of the items are a tad expensive. If we have not been short of time, I think we would have bought more stuff. It's kind of like a mini Ikea, with excellant storage ideas.
