Let's pack and send it

The uplift for international was on Aug 2nd, Allied Pickfords came, pack our stuff and send it to Pohnpei. I know it's still 2 months away why on earth we send our stuff that early, well since they'll send it thorough sea freight it will reach Pohnpei in 2 months if we're lucky or 3 months if we're not lucky. So you know why we are willing to sacrafice living in Canberra with limited stuff until the day we leave the country on 19 Aug.

The Allied Pickfords team came at around 8am and only 2 guys showed up, I was a bit pesimistic that they will finish at around 12 noon as there were about 20 people showed up when we move from Jakarta to Canberra and it took 2 days. Can you believe 20 people and they need 2 days to pack 3 bedrooms apartement? We had 79 boxes back then.

These 2 men from Allied Pickfords worked really fast and just before 12 they were almost done, ah well before they forget 1 or 2 cupboards with full of stuff in it. But still, just before 1pm they were all done with the packing, I'm in awe.


In total we have 74 boxes to be sent to Pohnpei, from 1 bedroom apartment.


Now we are living in an empty apartment with only basic kitchen utensils and 4 person dinner set. And we will move to mum in law's house next week after the uplift for storage.

It's getting real... I'm excited, a little bit sad, happy and nervous at the same time...

When passions collide

Thanks to Mr. Husband who got me early birthday present although it was 3 weeks early. So I can take these nice photos of delicious food I ate during my "transition" time from Canberra to Pohnpei.

Yes, my latest passion is photography and my old on going passion is food, meaning I like eating them not making them ;).

So, enjoy the combination of my old & latest passion: food & photography. Mind you that I still have a lot to learn as a photography enthusiast, so your comments are welcome.

Bon apetite....
