I don’t read newspapers everyday these days, so I only knew about the burnt down of the big furniture mall located beside the highway only few days after the incidence. We used to pass by the furniture mall every day on our way home.
Well, we still pass by the mall everyday, except what left of it now is only rubble and black ashes …
I don’t know if it’s merely ‘coincidence’ or… bad luck? News about furniture malls being burnt down are NOT news in our city. It happens relatively frequently, as compared to fire of factories or buildings.
Anyway, not that the furniture sold in the furniture mall is super duper beautiful or what, just that they are relatively cheaper than those carrying Italian names, so more people can afford buying from them. 
Speaking of furniture, the specialist doctor I interviewed for an assignment the other day, has a very nicely decorated office. I’ve never met a medical doctor with such good taste. His office is appropriately placed with contemporary modern furniture, retro lamps and chairs, and a corporate-style leather sofa with metal frame. Just what I like.
I think the next time we want to replace our old furniture, we will not go to IKEA or furniture malls any more. It’s time to upgrade our ‘taste’. Of course, before we can do that, we need to ‘upgrade’ the amount in our bank account first. Haha!
