Moving Day February 20

Have to thank Renee for teaching me how to include pix into blogs. Been trying forever and never was successful. I am hoping that friends who have missed out on this summer's highlight (moving houses) can get a snapshot of how the few of us, Allan, Renald, Chiang Wey, Kee Hung, Bryan and I three Sundays ago. That day we made the most of the Thrifty 3 Tonner truck that Bryan, Chiang Wey and I jointly hired.

The day started at 8:30 a.m., where we met up at Bryan's (Dannys house). Got the truck at 9 and drove back. We started loading Bryan's stuff into the truck. Boy, did he have lotsa stuff or what? It took us almost 2 hours to load the stuff and by then, most of us had already been famished. We feasted on KFC at Caulfield. At 1 p.m., we made it to the city. Parking was so hard as Little Lonsdale was a one way, 1 vehicle street with parked cars on each side. Fortunately, we managed to ask some building contractors to make some space for us.

We split into 3 teams, 2 guys for unloading into the lobby, 2 guys for transferring from the lobby, and 2 guys to receive and make room in the apartment. That also took us 2 hours. By the end of it, we were rather spent. We left the apartment and made it back to Turnbull, where we stopped for our break.



This picture depicts all 6 of us, tired and spent. We drank our Lipton Lemon ice tea like we just crossed the Atacama desert. We then moved my things to Ryan's as well as Danny's garage.
