Trademark blue and yellow tiles and flatpack trolley. I'll return it when I am done with it. New 2010 catalogue. Always on time! I like the design, the price, but not the typeface. 2007 catalogue ad. 2010 catalogue ad. A bunch of GNEJS. An item from the latest IKEA PS line, a lamp by Front design. TÅRTA MÖRK CHOKLAD. What typeface am I? Meatball ad in parking lot. The menu's new look. New type vs. classic type. smaklig måltid back then. SMAKLIG MÅLTID now. Ugly leaflet design. Take a number. Yes, please improve by regretting over Verdana. Just say 'Meja membungkus'. Who doesn't love a KLIPPAN? Thanks.

This post discusses IKEA's move to use Verdana, a typeface mainly used for its notable legibility on web pages, but also closely associated with Microsoft. In-between paragraphs are images of IKEA which I have captured for the past four years (s...

Taman Jaya. Ugly buildings. Tunnel. Conventioners. Traders Hotel lobby. Resting bus. Not Belgium? DDEC sign. business Corporate A badminton duo. Glass floor. Running. No running. May have foxes and snakes. 16th February 2006. 23rd July 2009. The Troika from open-air parking lot. Balconies. Naza building, Dua Residency, Suria Stonor. The Oval. Sight-seeing indeed. Sliding kid. Kid and non-kid.

After hearing and seeing the no-longer-existant cenfad, I've been getting nostalgic on the route I used to take twice a week back in the years 2005-2006, for my inconveniently-late drafting class at 6 pm. Starting from my house at 4.30 p.m., it to...

I was walking in a quiet neighbourhood somewhere in the outskirts of KL, where security guards patrol on bicycles, one late afternoon on a weekday. I was walking very, very slow, and noticed a girl lurking about on the sidewalk across the street. ...
