Too much work out over the weekend is definitely not good for Mondays …but great for health (if you have enough zzz:)). Who would have thought that moving ‘a pot of plant’ can make you shed a few kilos and shape up all those biceps/triceps. The move was definitely not scheduled until after lunch on Saturday – the unexpected adventure begins…
It was suppose to be a quick move ie. load a potted plant from the ‘originating point’ to destination (home). Too easy, right? …..not until we reached the ‘pick-up’ point (the whole situation changed). It was a job for ‘Alam flora’ and ‘MPPJ’.
Challenge #1 – The ‘Alam Flora challenge’:
How do you move and transport a palm tree that is 7.5 feet tall and 3 times heavier than you. Do you roll the pot of over-sized palm up the truck or lift it up like a forklift with all your strength and muscles? Will it survive the 5km ride across the federal highway?
🙂 To load a giant palm = 5 adults (total weight of ~800kg) to ‘hug’, lift, drag and ‘roll’ the 7.5 feet palm on to the truck. Time taken :~30 mins
🙂 To unload giant palm = 5 adults(+2 dogs) to drag, pull and push giant palm down the truck. Time taken: ~3 minutes
Challenge #2 – The ‘MPPJ challenge’:
Collect, load and dispose of bulky items – this was quite a big challenge to find and hunt down an ‘official garbage site’ in an unfamiliar neighbourhood, but we found it by taking a wrong turn 🙂
Completed the challenge in three hours under the hot sun and drenched in sweat. If only it was snowing…. 🙂
