Bookshelf – The Saga Continues
I talked about the need for a bookshelf in my last post.
Well, yesterday, hubby and I decided to buy the darned bookcase and ferry it across the causeway no matter what. So off to IKEA we went. Seems like 1/4 of Singaporeans were at IKEA; all payment counters were at least 5 deep, with some trolleys filled to the brim with mugs, lamps and assorted furry toys. Bought the Billy with an extra shelf , and loaded into the car.
I can now confirm that a Honda Fit, with the backseat and front passenger seat down, can fit a 2m Billy flat pack box comfortably.
Whilst on the TPE/SLE heading to the checkpoint, we rehearsed on potential answers to inquisitive customs officers…
“Company lucky draw dapat”,
“Christmas present”,
“Pindah rumah, ni lama punya”,
… and so on.
When we reached JB customs, hubby was a bit worried, cos there was a lot of cars, which means the officers may be checking the green lanes too. As cold sweat started to creep up, we entered the green lane, and saw officers chatting away at a distance. Don’t look at them! Keep going! Exit coming up…. in 10m…5m…. 100% check passed……hallelujah!
Will assemble this weekend.
