smash bang pow

I must first start by saying that the IKEA Detolf glass display cabinet is most likely not made of tempered glass - but more of tampered glass. Bought one over the weekend to display my porcelain doll collection and when we were in the midst of fixing it ie he was holding it up in the air above my head while i was sitting on the floor hanging on to the base to steady the structure, the glass just shattered.

Shattered into a million pieces which went flying across the room and mostly, well mostly rained on my head. I got cuts on my hands and legs as a result while he got a pretty nasty gash on his hand.

Thank god for his company health policy, otherwise I would have friggin sued IKEA.

They cursorily apologized and said they would refund me. By that time I had wasted 6 hours of my precious weekend on them and could stand no more so I just took whatever they offered - which is to come by my house on Monday to pick up the remains of the would-be cabinet.

As I said to them "You're lucky consumers here aren't that savvy or they just don't care. I'm surprised you haven't got sued yet on this thing."

I know, I know, I should have held firm. But for what? To deal with idiots? My weekend is just too valuable to give up nowadays. Time is the rarity I so crave.

Heading to Hong Kong in two weeks for a work trip and taking my mother along.

It's just cheapskate me taking advantage of a 1000 dollar hotel room to spring a trip for my mother, one which I couldn't have afforded otherwise. And while I'm working, I plan to book her on those one day tours and send her around some temples or something.

I think she digs temples. She liked the Bali ones, so the Hong Kong ones shouldn't be too different.

I cut bangs.

First time in I think, a decade.

Yes, a decade.

A decade ago I was 16 and crushing really bad.

And right after I got bangs yesterday, I realized .... that I can't do bangs.

*bang* *pow*
