i'm now thinking either to hire a few cisco officers to carry them for me or to use a NTUC Fairprice shopping cart to put them all in.

But sad to say, i can't use the NTUC Cart as I go sgcamerastore often and there's only escalators unless I dismantle the Cart, bring them up and assemble back.

Right, Cleonbus ????
