Every Dotcom Has to Have a Bean Bag!

By last Friday, all the essential furniture of our KL office was in and the team had already moved in.

I like our office and even the girls Samantha and Suet Li seem to like it too.
There was one thing I didn't like about our office though:
It looked TOO MUCH LIKE AN OFFICE!!!

So I decided that we needed a corner of the office that felt more homely.

Some place for people to relax.

And every dotcom office has to have one thing (apart from computers of course):
BEAN BAGS!!!

I asked around and found out that Tesco had good (and not too expensive bean bags) so TO TESCO I WENT!!!

The ones at Tesco required you to buy the bag and the beans separately, then put it all together yourself.
I was so excited.
The minute I got home I ripped off the bean bag and started filling it up with beans.

And within a few minutes...

TADAAA!!!!!! BEHOLD!!! OUR BEAN BAG!!!



Yes, it looked a little pathetic even after filling it up with 2 full big bags of beans.

But I thought, maybe it's just meant to be like that.

So I tried it out.

And I figured...
"Nope... definitely not how a bean bag is supposed to be".

So I filled it up again with another bag and tried it out.

"Nope... still not quite there".

By the time I emptied all our bean bags, our bean bag only looked like this.

Which again looked pathethic.

So I got pissed off!!!

I went back to Tesco and came back with a shit load of beans, more than I could carry.
I ripped open our other bean bag as well and filled it up!!!

And now....

BEHOLD!!! OUR BEAN BAGS!!!



I love bean bags, especially when you have 2 of them.

There are so many things you can use it for.

Anything from an OSIM-Style kind of bed.

To a fort.To a....


don't ask me what I was doing in that picture... even I myself don't quite know.

I love my bean bags!!!!!

And they look great at the little chill-out corner we created in our Nuffnang office.

The girls have already found a name for it.
They call it "Nuffie's Corner".

  26. erm sorry brain woozy - wat i meant was the open office concept is like the whole floor is an office. no rooms (except big bosses - smaller bosses gets cublicles). meeting rooms all glass. the other normal people all share a floor, regardless of departments. so wat i actually meant is pretty rigid lor. not seeing any "nuffie corner" in the office in the near future. hahaha!
