So I guess Maria took pity on me since I have been sad these past days because nobody wanted to go with me to Ikea -- granted, many were busy preparing for the last presentation. But today, since we've finished with our final presentation (and did fairly good), Maria told me that we could go after finishing our turnovers (of laptops, heaters, etc) around 230p. Woohoo!
So instead of going back to the hotel, we hopped on Bus #6, which only runs every 30 mins, from the NDP. We did not expect the trip to be long (about 20 - 30 mins?) however and we feared we could have actually been lost. Fortunately, the person I'm sitting with at the bus told me when to get off the bus. From the bus stop, we still had to walk a fair distance since we were let off at the back of the Ikea building. But when we finally saw the building, wow! It was huge. I wonder how it would be inside?
It was funny though because one of the organizers asked us why we were going and we told her that we won't be buying anything, we just wanted to look around. 'Good luck to that,' she said. Now I understand why. It has so many cool things displayed and cheap! I was even able to buy (yes, buy!) a fire blanket which I have been looking for for the longest time, and some stuff for my mom like cute table napkins and cookie cutters. You won't believe what Maria bought, though -- a curtain and some other stuff. Now we are wondering how to put it in our already packed luggages! LOL.
Going back, it already turned dark around 5PM and Maria asked that we get off at Kilden first so she could buy a new watch so off we went again, shopping! :) Then in the freezing wind, we walked towards the hotel. LOL.
This was a great last outing for us and I thank my friend that she went with me. I guess she did not regret it anyway :) Now off to pack my bags again before the Graduation Dinner tonight :)

I am just wondering how people can easily say Yes to other people but not to others, especially when you think that that person should be the first one to accompany you somewhere? Hmmmm...
