Murphy Loves Us

After the ordeal with the sofa delivery, we were hit with another issue. On the morning just before the delivery, I got a call from E that the original supplier for the bedframe would not see him the bedframe design that we wanted..
This would put us in a very bad situation as we had already gotten our contractor to customise a partition wall support for it based on the dimensions of the bedframe. If it was a normal bedframe it would be no issue, but this was not one easily found on the market, especially with the very tall bed head.

E told us not to worry, as he would manufacture the bedframe locally himself then, by hook or by crook. However, the second slammer came in the afternoon, when he was stuck at the Dunlopillo warehouse. According to him, the distributor had told him that there was sufficient stock and he had gone down to collect the mattress, but only to find that it was out of stock.

The only consolation that our reasonably priced dining table came without any incident from E.

For now, the bed is about to escalate to a more pressing issue as we have our traditional "an chuang" ceremony date picked. However, without the bed in sight, there is no "chuang" to "an". Hopefully there is some way out before it becomes tricky to handle and explain to our parents.

UPDATE: We've managed to postpone the "an chuang" date. This buys us more time for E to order the mattress and manufacture the bed frame, delivering at a later date. Phew!
