Flashback: 2009 (Before the move)
Preparing for the BIG move was quite a headache. We are given weight quotas for sea and air freight. We had to decide the stuff that would be brought over from Singapore over to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
I’m a sentimentalist; my other half more pragmatic. In this situation, pragmatism won over the other one. Only the ones that were needed most were shipped. Before the packing day arrived, my wife had an idea to create a space where we would gather all the stuff for air / sea shipment. This was done to reduce confusion. The packers would just pack those in the ‘staging’ area.
So, the day finally came for the packing:
Shipment arrival in KAUST:
Delivery day: I requested the men to assist me in unloading and unpacking plus placing them in the rightful place: pots and pans in kitchen, clothes in the respective rooms and so forth. I was thankful and grateful for all the prayer(s) and help for the smooth delivery of all our goods/stuff. Wouldn’t have done it without my wife’s initial planning, coordination of the logistics departments in KAUST and the freight companies.
