HM Packing Service

On this trip, I am really excited that my girls will get to meet my best friend, Min or Aunty Min to them and also they will get to meet her family. :) Min and I made arrangement and we are off to visit them today.

We left the hotel after 10am to take the train to Padstow station where Min's husband, Graham and her older son, Ben picked us up. After which, we picked up Min and her younger son, Josh from their house and we were off to see their new house! :) Min and her family would be moving to their new house soon. They were in the process of renovating their new home as well as packing up for the move when we visited them.



Goodness, the new house is really huge. Although it is still in the process of renovating, I could see how everything is going to come together and it will be the perfect home. When I was being shown the various rooms in the new house, the kids found their own entertainment, playing hide and seek lol. We went back to their old house where we had lunch and we also did some catching-up. :)
After lunch, the kids played basketball as there was a bit of sunshine while the adults worked lol. Graham went back to the new house to do some renovation work. Min and I did some packing of the kitchen. In 4 hours, we packed 8 big boxes of kitchen stuff for the move! :) Min was worried about me helping her to pack as I am supposed to be on holiday. Hey, what are best friends for, we help each other in need. Besides, I am experienced in packing (having once helped another friend to move house too)! HM Packing Service, I am. Lol. :) While we were packing, the kids played Wii, watched DVD and played hide-and-seek. They really enjoyed themselves.

For dinner, we sat down to a delicious meal of spaghetti bolognese prepared by Min. Oh boy, everyone was really hungry after all that work and play lol. :) Thanks for the delicious dinner, Min! :) The kids played a while more while the adults chit-chatted. It was past 10.30pm when Min dropped us back at the hotel amidst the rain.


The girls were talking non-stop about how much fun they have had and that they wanted to go back again the next day lol. Thanks so much, Min, Graham, Ben and Josh for having us over despite being busy yourselves. Next time we are in Sydney, we will be staying with you guys in your huge house haha. :)
