Since I left my family for studies/work abroad, I've had a number of house relocation experiences. If I have a choice, I would really prefer not to move that often (house relocation). All the packing, shifting big and small household items, transporting, unpacking, cleaning......I can feel the pain now when talking about the whole tedious process. I am truly grateful to all of my friends who'd helped me moved.
MB recently found herself a new apartment. I offered to help her a month ago but I didn't hear any further instructions from her. Anyway, she sent me an email on Friday but unfortunately I didn't make an effort in checking my work email account until Sunday. Good thing is I still managed to help her, if not I would have embarassed myself since I was the one making the offer earlier. Though I wasn't obliged to help, I've gone through the same bitter and greatly appreciate voluntary help offers from friends. Thus I would like to extend some help to my friends if they need me.
The whole moving process didn't take long because MB was smart enough to find 2 macho men with cars to do most of the tough tasks. The whole process took less than 1.5 hour, which was an unexpected pleasure. We left MB to do the troublesome bit of unpacking and final cleaning. MB promised to invite us over for a martini cocktail as her housewarming once she's settled in.
The pain of relocating can be reduced if you have help from some friends (especially well-built guys), cars and good arrangements. And of course some martini cocktails would be of vast help too! *grin*
