[Tank de-comm...] Tearing down my aquarium was part of my room redecorating plan. I've been wanting to change some of my furniture for a while but could not because the aquarium was in the way. I could now. After tearing down the tank yesterday, I went to IKEA in the evening and bought a new bed. The old one has been with me for about 21 years. Although it was fine, I wanted one whereby I could store things under the bed. I couldn't do so with the old one due to its decorative sides/legs. The new bed I bought actually resembles the one in SAF camps. But it's nicer. Now it's just four legs, with access to the bottom of the bed. I intend to get some big Tupperware-like boxes to store items under the bed. The thing about buying furniture at IKEA is that you need to consider how you're bringing your purchase home. The bed I bought cost $99 and delivery cost $45. Totally not worth it. I was told that a London/Maxi cab would be big enough, but calling those cabs meant a $9 surcharge plus whatever's on the meter. So I took a chance and wheeled the (unassembled) bed out to the taxi queue and tried to see if it could fit into a regular cab. It did. I won't go into how I did it, but it fit very nicely. Total cab fare was $10.60. Saved a bundle. Next would be to get the storage boxes, followed by a new L-shaped table. Then maybe some new computer components (I'm still considering whether or not to blow more money on my rig, especially since the current one is working fine). I found something on Friday on my way home from work. Someone lost something very important and it didn't even belonged to said person. Said person must be having a very bad weekend... ^^^ by Locksley @ 6:51 PM.
