The Star Weekender- Trends and Tricks

by Adrian How

The Star newspapers posted an article today in their Weekender section (page W22) providing some input on tricks and trends for the home. It exclaims that ’small spaces are merely figments of your imagination but with colour, furniture and storage, one can make any small space look spacious’. Hmm, if small spaces are figments of one’s imagination, why would anyone need to do anything to make any area more spacious? Strange sentence isn’t it?

Here’s another strange one… in that article you’ll also find a cut-out coupon to redeem a free cup of coffee at Espressamente which is valid for the 24th and 25th of May only, posted on 31st May’s papers!

However, the article is still worth a quick read if you’re already going to read the papers today (alternatively, you can read the article online by clicking here).

There’s also a mention of the an upcoming home fair that will be held at the Pavilion Kuala Lumpur from June 19-29. Many of the stores in the ‘HOME’ section at the Pavilion sell designer furniture and as you can expect, at upmarket prices. However, it may be worth a visit for you never know what you could get at bargain or discounted prices. Besides, you could always walk home with an idea or two from it.

Sigh… haven’t had the time to go for the Interiors Malaysia 08 fair yet. It’s already 4pm and I just got home, and in another hour, it’ll be time to go to Church, then CheeHong’s wedding dinner at the Oriental Pavilion (this is no food blog, but FYI, the food’s pretty good there). CheeHong was my uni mate and one of the HengTai’s at my wedding (see my wedding pictorial blog. Looking forward to seeing my uni mates and other friends there tonight. Congratulations, Chee Hong! Will have a big toast to ya with the lads in a few hours time.
