Saturday 8:30 am
heading to work
saw loads unwanted furniture
which is quite a common sight
in this community with
high mobility of international folks
hence I decided to steal
no I mean, to adopt this desk
which is of really solid material
because it felt really heavy
no.. I did check
the weight is from the material of the desk
nobody accidentally left
a jar of treasure in the drawers
majority of wood furniture these days
are very light, simply because
they are assembled from plywood
the only imperfection I found is
or else they would have sold it right
is the surface of the top
stained and quite uneven
no prob
I was quite lost as to
what I should buy
my original idea is to
wrap fancy papers and
another layer of transparent wrap
that was what we did during high school
compulsory for all
so that students can’t really
vandalize the table by
scribbling the name of
either their loved one / enemy
in between the wrapping paper and
transparent sheet was where
I displayed photos of
David Beckham / Peanuts gang / etc
wait a minute where was I?
I went round and round
quite lost and couldn’t find
what I actually wanted
and ended up buying these
multipurpose anti-slip floor mat
with the hope that it lives up to
its name of being multi-purpose
oh yeah
it actually didn’t disappoint me
as I cut and patched them together
I have been ignorantly occupying
the desk of my room mate which
she didn’t really use except
when she needs to get
some huge drawing done
and I have been trying to
scout for table since
she may be moving out next month
the drawers have been removed
and hence becoming
a space of open shelf
cutting cost is such a scary idea that
these days if you happened to notice
if you get the drawers remove
all you get is empty space and
can’t even be used as open shelf
just like this one
there you go
almost like a new desk
