Christmas Gift

We have already booked the Chinese Antique Sofa Set two weeks ago. Last week, I was not around so we didn't get to see the new set. This evening, we went over to the furniture place. But the manager was not around. We only saw his assistant. 

The assistant showed us the new set and we sort of liked this new set better. But it definitely cost more, that is rm3K extra. The manager had mentioned before that he would still give us 40% should we choose the new set.


 My girl loves its comfort..

 My boy admiring its intricate design too..

Everyone loves it so we should be getting this new set in one week's time 
when my husband has given him the new credit card number.

It's a Christmas gift for the family..
Thanks to my kids' daddy!

We were still in Parkson and I took a shot of the stage of this balloon-made Santa Claus..


and its Christmas tree!

When we used the escalator down to the ground floor, I had a shot of the backstage..
 Just look at those balloons!


Merry Christmas!

    This lovely Chinese Antique Sofa Set looks like Rosewood with inlaid Mother-of-Pearl. It's very comfortable to sit on. :)

    Got a call from Santa who said he was unable to reach you or bozo. He told me to tell you to expand or to remove your chimney so that the sofa set can get through. Sooner you get it done the sooner you get your sofa set delivered before Xmas woh.

    When you have received the new set at home, you must take close up photos and share with us. Maybe we can observe some stories about its designs and carvings. The seller should tell you some background and its origins.

    When I was a kid, my family used to be invited to the mansion of Tan Sri Loh Boon Siew on every CNY. His mansion was filled with the finest collections of antiques until it was too crowded to walk around. I admired his antique chairs which had marble slabs. The marbles had natural waves that looked like mountains in Guilin. Goodness!! He paid hundreds of thousands for them.
