IKEA wonderland aka Apt. photos

Richard, our roommate finally moved in a day ago, and before he did we sorta cleaned up the apartment. The only thing that was left was putting up a curtain rod to hang a curtain to give Rich a little more privacy. Unfortunately the walls of our apartment are made of cement coated in very flaky plaster. Getting any sort of curtain rod attachment into them was a real challenge. But after borrowing a drill, buying a cement drill bit, and taking advantage of Rich's stature (he's got to be at least 6'2") the curtain was finally up. This event marked the completion of our apt, and so I took some pictures. Here they are.

Our bedroom, complete with furniture names:
The living room:
check out the bottom of wine on the table, it's Mel's, and it cost $9 (US). Take a look at Rich's beautiful curtain. You can't see where the curtain rod attaches, but there are big gaping holes there where we messed up a number of times with the drilling. The xbox, is thankfully still working. Rich and I played our first game of Table Tennis on it last night. He showed pretty good potential, hopefully he'll turn out to be a good virtual partner. We also watched our first movie in the apartment two nights ago. A Hong Kong film named "Infernal Affair". AND GUESS WHAT, The Departed is a total remake of it, a brilliant remake, but still a remake. I had no idea. The film was actually better than the departed in a few ways, but like most Hong Kong action movies there was a lot of long melodramatic sequences with the cheesiest music. Anyway, here's the kitchen:

Nothing fancy but it works. It actually has the best view in the whole place. At night you can see all of the other side of Hong Kong lit up real pretty.

Ok we're off to the grocery store. As you can see the kitchen is a bit empty.
