Assemble the queen-size bed
Today began with a jactitation. Waking up 3 or 4 times a night, I did not know why.
At the class, Vicky told me she was worrying about the furniture in her new rented room. She bought a lot of furniture from IKEA whose products needed to be assembled by the customer himself. As a little girl, she could not know how to assemble. So I told her I could do her a favor. She was surprised by joy. We met at 2:30 after the grammar class, and we went to buy some necessary hardware. When I stepped into the new rented room, I was a little surprised by a great amount of the furniture. Two huge packages were laying in the middle of the antechamber. Many other packages were laying dispersedly around the room. It seemed that I would have a lot of work to do.
Vicky went to class, leaving me to handle them. She wanted to set up the bed first, so I found out the three packages. Honestly, they were so heavy that I moved them using all-out effort. Removing the packing, putting the materials in an approximate place, I perspired insensibly. The next procedure was to locate the materials and turn the screws tight. It was a little difficult to handle a big piece of furniture for one man, but I have done it finally. When I dragged the 80 lbs mattress onto the bed, I used one and a half hour to complete assembling a queen-size bed.
When I was dealing with the sofa, Vicky came back from class. She bought me two pieces of pizza and a bottle of fresh fruit. That was very kind of her. I did not want to get any return. I just wanted to do something to keep my hands-on ability. I should appreciate Vicky gave the chance.

Look at my PINK chest :)
To continue the work yesterday, I borrow a hammer to drive nails. It’s the back of the chest where need to be nailed. It is more difficult to say (in English) than to do. Just ten minutes, I nail the back.
I assemble the three drawers next. Because there are several parts need to be nailed, drilled, and installed, I spend some time on them.
Finally, it takes three hours in total to assemble the whole chest. The picture below is my achievement. 
It looks good, fitting the pink blue decoration.

IKEA, nice to see you again
Steven shows me a sale news on IKEA today. There is a 3-drawer chest on sale at half prize (the picture below). It’s a great news. The chest is the type exactly what I need. So, we change the golfing plan to go to IEKA for the chest.
As an OTAKU (home boy), I LOVE IKEA! The IKEA Beijing Branch is one of the places I most love to go. It is a sweet moment when I stroll in IKEA. Although I spent over five thousands on many pieces of light furniture and dropped them when I left Beijing, I can’t stop buying new things when I move to a new place.
