because delivery costs $50 at ikea
its worth it to have to open up all the car doors of my dad's taxi,
take up 2 parking lots of space,
spend 30minutes manouvering the 200cm++ long wardrobe into the taxi,
and get scolded my angmohs who wanted our parking space,
then drive off at 60km/h all the way home to prevent the glass door from cracking due to excessive vibrations

because the assembly price cost is ridiculous, and pretending to be a carpenter like Jesus was is enjoyable,
its worth it to spend 3hours assembling just the exterior frame only.

by the way, the angmoh was supposed by GARMENT to be from a GRACIOUS society.
and he horned damn loud. i said sorry we obviously are unable to close our car door... and so we can't give way yet.
the he sped up deliberately and screeched to a halt right in front of my dad's cab so that we would be unable to move out when we are done.
so my dad and i were panting and aching and trying our best to get out of the way ASAP. and there were a million and one other parking lots available at IKEA, on MONDAY NIGHT for goodness sake. but he insisted.

anyhows, my dad is a really good driver, he used to drive brand new cars shipped from overseas, from cargo ships.. and the cars were all spaced by centimeters apart. and he never crashed anyone of them.
so obviously we had no problem manouvering around the stupid angmoh's vehicle and went off happily.

so much for gracisou society!
its the locals not the angmohs that donate when i did flag day in secondary school anyway.
i was so taken aback cos i thought they were the most courteous ppl on earth. thanks to PAP.
they just like to make singaporeans look worse than we actually are.. on the relative global scale.
