I can’t buy the right light bulb.
My dearie Nuts bought me that Ikea lamp I like so much, but it came without the bulb (blame Ikea, not the person who procured them because it wasn’t stated explicitly on the packaging.) So I said, never mind, I shall go buy my own lightbulb.
And I did. And they don’t fit. I feel like kicking myself in the rear right now. An almost-graduate student who cannot even buy a lightbulb. I think it just goes to show the severe limitations of our education system - we were taught to do calculus, measure gravitational force and make chemical compounds, but we were never taught how to buy lightbulbs, let alone how to change them.
But in other news, my dearie Nuts got me all the things I wanted - a Pilates book + DVD set (the book looks really simple; haven’t tried out the DVD yet) and A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. Somehow I seem to be asking them for books every year, ever since, 2006 I think. So far I think they have gotten me 6 books already. And I assume there’d be more to come 
And, another good news - my Ikea bookcase is arriving tomorrow! (I sure hope it fits my room if not I will get skinned alive). It’s the Billy bookcase, but I’m not sure it’s this tall. I think I got the shorter one, in white. It’s a cheap, no frills book case that I desperately need because I need to clear up space for my school stuff. Currently my school stuff are forced to reside together with some softtoys in an inaccessible corner of my room. Either that, my novels will have to be stashed under my bed or something. So with this book case, I can finally proudly display my books. I didn’t order them with doors, so I reckon I will get some fuchsia cloth to make curtain covers. And oh yes, because it’s Ikea, they deliver my things unassembled. Half the fun of order things from Ikea is the assembling. I just can’t emphasize how much I love to assemble furniture. So I hope they’d deliver it on time tomorrow so I can spend my afternoon assembling my bookcase, another identical one for my sister, and a storage unit for my baby niece.
i don’t even have to say it, do i? the 7-letter word that starts with p, in plural form, that’s worth a thousand words…
Eh, when I eventually set it up and pimp it right. :p
Eh, did you get the set that has 2 bulbs in 1 package? It costs like $15 plus plus. I’m not sure if it was that one but the voltage/watts description seemed to fit. And the bulbs were located near the shelf where the lamps were.
Ya, the round one. At the Redhill branch it’s below the lamp loh. But cannot fit. I’m going there to scold them on Friday I think. Haha.
