Looking for some internal components

It was a day of "Shopping" for the internal components of the ECO House.We started at about 1pm, the team went down to Geylang to the various hardware shops there to buy the required components after recommended by Uncle Kiong.
Yes...the above picture is none other than Ah YaO~ . The one who manages volunteers who wants to get their hands dirty on the internal component of the ECO House.
Here is LJ posing at the site that Jia jia, our main volunteer Architect, has offered to use to build our prototype. The Green Roof and walls will be done here as well. ;)
And so we transport the stuffs we bought there.
Around evening, we turned to IKEA to do some shopping. To get some materials.
Before that, we had ourselves a meal first. And the picture above, you will see the SUMPTUOUS FOOD from IKEA! Bon Apetite!
Then we "shopped" around.
Picture below: Checking out a sink. Ah..inlet and outlet. How can we pipe in the rain water source and where does the grey water goes.
As we went around, we were pretty excited and wished our kitchen could be like IKEA's. Or we can do something like that.
And then suddenly...EUREKA!
LOOK! We realized that the various display sets in the IKEA Show room matches out allocated dimension of the "kitchen". We were thought for awhile and it triggered us to perhaps approach IKEA to get a set for our kitchen.
We liked this kitchen set! Well...and many others!!!!Afterall, IKEA is a green brand and has a culture of not wasting materials.
This particular display caught our attention. :)
And now...we were looking around at some other furnitures (below picture) such as having a living room with materials made from reused materials.
But yeah...we were only dreaming. We don't have space for that. The rest of the house is intended to be used for conducting training and really used reused or recycled material to decorate it. It will be a creative area.
Now, the next thing we need to do is to find a chance to meet up IKEA and propose the idea to them and hopefully they will support our ECO House.
*Fingers Crossed*
