A home for Coke.....

In 1886, Coca Cola was born in Atlanta, Georgia, of the USA. From there , it went from one continent to another, trying to settle down and find a HOME. Today, apart from being in almost 200 over countries, I have a home for my Coke...
I moved in to my own place, for nearly 5 months now. Amongst the many room of my humble double store abode, I've dedicated a special room, for which my Coca Cola collections' call HOME
One will not missed it, as the door which separates the mystery of my collection with the ordinary world, bears the signage synonym to many.


Visitors my new place, after seeing the content of this room , will usually end up auditioning to become my 'designated' collector-on-behalf. Others will surely sms or call me when they find a shop/stall that sells Coca Cola collectibles , when they walked in Bangsar Grocer or through the Curve's Street Market.


One could never imagine how big or famous Coca Cola. Being a truly global brand, Coca Cola is the most widely known brand in the world. According to Business Week, in 2006 , Coca Cola ranks the No.1 brand in the world, with a value of USD 67.5 billion!


My house in the other hand, is valued at RM 350 thousand! That is inclusive of the furniture and appliances. Perhaps I should add the value of its occupants , their pet Ginger and Rodney and their priceless collections of clothing, DVDs, old newspapers, liquors and of course the Coca Cola collectibles.


One of my biggest challenge prior to moving into this house was the interior designing. Of course it helped that my gf had great taste. All I had was.... a great gf. I must say, the finishing was great. Nice paint job, perfect furnitures, high tech AV appliances, beautiful paintings (coming soon) , a contemporary bar and of course my Coke room.




The room currently holds a fridge, stocked up with all the soft drinks (of course pre-dominantly Coke) , Heineken and loads of chocolate bars. Also within is one large cabinet with multi columns (bought from Giant), one multi tier cabinets (buatan AYAH) and several smaller shelves. All of these furnitures house my collections of 400 + articles. There are still many more rooms for expansion, namely the walls, which I hope in years to come, it will be filled, either by my own or by house's visitors or anyone who which to donate their collection after reading this blog.
