Furniture Shopping Spree 9

After the arrival of our furnitures, we quickly proceeded to Giant Tampines and Ikea Tampines for some purchases which we could not have done previously.

At the first location, we bought two metal shelves (which was previously on sale and out of stock), one curtain set, one thermal flask, one induction cooker, one floor mat, one feather duster and one hand towel. All these were to be sent by delivery. Thank goodness for that.

At the second location, we bought two shelf racks and one table top. This time, we did not opt for the delivery and decided to go for the taxi ride. This decision later turned out to be quite a disaster.

Mistake one: We were waiting at the London cab queue.
What should had been done: We should queue up at the normal queue and wait for bigger cabs, while allowing those behind us to take the smaller cabs.

Mistake two: I queried about the private transport (due to us being visible targets at the London cab queue).
What should had been done: I should have ignore the person altogether as he was giving my dear the creeps.

Mistake three: We waited too long before walking off (as the creepy person was like waiting for us) and I was trying in vain to get a bigger cab.
What should have been done: We should have walked off earlier so that we can still grab a bus or cab somewhere else.

Eventually after 1+ hour of waiting, we walked off carrying the three bulky and heavy items. We walked for a 4 bus stops, resting for a while at each bus stop. Though it was quite comical and very tiring, I felt guilty mistreating my dear like that. And I decided that I should try once more to call for a cab as I cannot bear seeing my dear suffering like that. Luckily, our lucky stars still shone for us as we did get a cab in the end. I cannot imagine how it would be like if we could not get a cab. It could be rather dangerous as well.

One more event for my dear to nag at me, but I guess I am happy to know that my dear is willing to stick through thick and thin with me. Need to really make it up to her.
