when impossible is POSSIBLE!

assalamualaikum and hyeeee....

have u done something which looks IMPOSSIBLE but actually is POSSIBLE? well here is my story..

since i lived in a cute little house, cluttering is always a problem. and namely BOOKS! argh bersepah. bukan takde proper book shelves, just they are everywhere. and in a family where adik beradik korang semua membaca, ia adalah menjadi satu masalah. books are freaking everywhere.

nasib baik buku adalah mahal, so tak la every month beli 20 buku. hahaha!. so since cuti sekolah, takde mende nak buat, aku gatal2 pergi ikea searching for nice and cheap book shelves that should nicely fit my small little room.. well, guess what. i found it. cost me RM215. it is called BESTA. mcm nama sos pulak. btw, i found a stuff at ikea named "KOTTE". lucah sungguh. hahahha!

i bought one, and it look something like this:

u can found it in the new 2010 ikea catalog.

so i bought it home. i fits nicely at the back of baby maroon. 120cm long across. and weight almost 40-50kg.

so, bila sampai rumah, fix it, bend it, tap it, screw it, fcuk it, akhirnya siap. but then, i was starring at it almost an hour. BAGAK BERAT MCM NAK MAMPOS! mcm mana aku nak letak kat dinding?? im FCUKED.

well, being me, i hate being a fcuking loser. tired of it. but i never backed off something that i have started. such as being in UM. the helliest place ever. hahaha!

i took me 4 trips to the hardware store asking for screws or idea how to mount a 40-50kg of cabinet on the wall. all gave me the same answer. use a anchor bolt. i have experience using it. looks like this:

various types of anchor bolt

still i was unconvinced. the only thing support the whole weight of the cabinet is a freaking PLASTIC bracket!. FCUKed again.. sangat tak blh dipercayai.. so, because im a fcuking skeptic, aku tanya en. google. siap aku jadi ahli IKEAFANS. just nak access dia punya manuals. tapi semua sama. and all around the world is having the same problem!

lemme show u how the plastic bracket looks like..:

rite now i was so fcuked up, i had a visit to ikea again with sarah, to quizzed one of its staffs. tanya punya tanya punya tanya, soal punya soal, punya soal, he said that, nothing to worry, just screw it. hahahha! dia siap gantung2, tarik lagi display shelf itu.. demm ah. plus dorang pakai 2 screw sahaja ok! two pieces of 7" screw!!! fakerrrrr!

today, i was like a man preparing for a ambush mission.

apparatus:

3 drills: 1 powered drill, 2 battery operated.

2 tool boxes: full of fcuking assorting gadgets such as nails, wood, wall plug, measuring tape, pencils, water ruler (timbang air??? hahaha), and other freaking stuff inside a toolbox.

drill the whole. i decide to use the anchor plug. and when trying to hoist the cabinet up with my little sister, it was like....................................... FCUUKKIINNGG HEAVYY!!!! arrghhhhh!!

i took several time but still doesnt work. its just TOO heavy and im underpowered. i need more HUMAN to help me with this shit.

dijadikan cerita, sarah msg me telling shes going home early.!! there. i got my driller. ahahahah. called her and ask her to help me out.

pendek kan cerita, kalau cerita korang mesti bosan baca, the wall plug doest work bcoz its tooooo short, so i decide to use the largest screw that i could fine in the WHOLE cheras, which i already had. which is the 7" screw.

lebey kurang mcm nih laa.. but fatter

plus aku siap beli extra plastic bracket, washer and nails kat ikea customer service. cost me RM3. hahahaha. just in case.

bila sarah sampai, i took three of us, and me and adik as the anchor (pemegang cabinet) and sarah as the driller, plus siap pinjam tangga uncle lee umah sebelah, WE manage to bolt the cabinet on the WALL!!!! believe it or not, a 40-50kg of cabinet is on top of my bed. WAKAKAKAKKWAKAKW!!!!

its bolted on the WALL!!

finally, we manage to finish the task. btw, its straigt. dah ukur ngan timbang air. hahahah! i thing this is the hardest installation i had done selain pasang monitor samsung gua kat stand dia. hahaahah.

luckly i studied statics. thanks prof wan. it makes me confident after roughly calculate how much force of 6 screws to handle 40-50kg of cabinet. haha. bak kata prof wan, "kira semua x sama ngan kosong, n y sama ngan kosong. kamu dptla nilai dia". he`s right.

now i believe that everything is possible. if something on your way, get some help. it could be solved.

LOTS of thanks to my little sister and my lovely gf sarah. kinda hot looking at her while drilling the screws in her office outfit. ahhahaha!

sesapa nak pasang benda kat dinding, call me. special price. ahhahaah!
