I woke up this morning, slightly tensed....wonder if I'll survive today in good shape.The packers from United arrived promptly. Walked the supervisor through our mess, and off went 6 of them...
They are all dispersed to the various rooms, each tackling a task on their own. But when the item is huge, like our sofa, a few of them will get together to finish up the 'masterpiece'. Bruce is right, each of them is like an artist, wrapping our furnitures/items with the right material, and bending the edges so neatly and securing them tightly, such that it's like an art piece!
More than 50% of the job was done before the kids came back from school & lunch. And the moment Evan laid his eyes on the wrapped up boxes that are stacked up, he think it's a playground! Before we knew it, he climbed up to the top of one stack of boxes, sitting there and smiling cheekily !As for dyllis, for 1 whole hour, she was pacing up and down between the hallway & the gate to check if Aunty Pauline has come home. Pauline (our neighbour) has kindly agreed to let our kids go over to her house this afternoon, and Dyllis is eagerly waiting to bring her High School Musical DVD over to watch at Aunty Pauline's house.
Finally her wait was over, off went my two little 'monsters' to Pauline's house (for almost 2hours ! Thanks, Pauline, that was much appreciated !).
The packing process went off smoothly without much glitches (except for 1 broken glass & 1 chipped ikea box). By 3plus, the packers were loading the boxes up to the container parked along the road outside our apartment. And by 4.45pm, the doors to the container were 'sealed' with a lock.
Whew! One down....two more to go before we board the plane to Shanghai!
