IKEA
Posted in 
I had to pick up some bed sheets, a duvet, pillows, and pillows cases for the shalaih. Basically everything needed for a bed, and IKEA seemed to be a good place to pick that up. Someone told me I would find all that stuff on the ground floor! So I decided to go last minute on Thursday before heading to the shalaih since I didnt have a chance all week.
One thing they have a problem with at IKEA is the lack of parking! Really very little parking what so ever! I know they are building a HUGE IKEA at the new mall the Avenues, but I hope they have covered parking included in the equation! So I was driving slowly just to give people time to get to their cars and just my luck when I turned the corner I managed to find a parking spot and parked! I know I pissed off a lot of people behind me because I was driving slow but I didnt care! hehe!
There are two primal urges that I have when I walk into IKEA! Two very strong urges which are hard to resist! One is to eat all the freshly made corn cobs! Damn it smells so good, if I was full I would suddenly become hungry! I dont know what they have in them but damn it smells amazing! Secondly I want to jump into that ball room with all this kids! I dont care! I want to dive in head first so that I could hide underneath all the balls while I wait in fear of someone who will jump on me or I could scare somebody half to death rising out of the lake of balls like a monster out of a lagoon! hehehehe!
When I got all my stuff I was happy find out that I could get a discount with my NBK card. This is how I found out. Cashier “Sir do you have an IKEA card” Me “No, but I think I could pay with my NBK card. hehehe” Cashier “Ok yes that can work also Sir, Thank you” Me “huh?”. Then I got the 6% discount after trying to be funny! hehehe!
And the bedsheets and all that I bought came out to be just right!

What sucks is when u first walk into IKEA you are greeted with an amazing freshly baked goodies smell. But you cant buy anything cuz you are not allowed to eat inside and by the time u are leaving ikea you dont remember the smell anymore..

I don’t get out much, so where exactly is the new mall ?

I passed IKEA the other day and I think I saw a sign that said that there was valet parking? Free b3ad, am I right? If I am, atleast they’re aware of the lack of parking space. W like you is said, this is temporary. But still annoying ;p

I love Ikea too!
Didn’t do it though – yet!
And yes, I get the urge to jump in with the kids too
But I make sure I grad some goodies before i leave though, can’t resist the smell!
And for some reason I always crave the “makeea” icecream whenever i go there!

FilmGirl: there is no way in hell I am giving my car to valet parking in Kuwait! Its suicide! You have no idea what they do to people’s cars! I have seen!
Dishevelled: I want to jump in there and then get some corn as i am leaving, but niether ever happen! damn it! lol

One thing it got us thinking about was hippiedom and the extent to which remnants of that survive. One of our students grew up in a series of communes. Are there any communes still around?…
