Celebrated my god-son's 1st birthday on Saturday. Can't believe how time flies. He's so cute! And his dad deliberately smeared the cake on his nose & lips. I'll keep this How-my-dad-humiliated-me-when-I-was-a-kid-photo for Ian. heh heh.

At work, dust has settled a little and things are looking up. Out of the 3 projects having problems, two were almost resolved with minimal impact on my company. The last one is a little tricky. So keeping my fingers-crossed. My boss hasn't fully recovered yet. He's going for weekly check-ups and on his last visit, his doctor told him there was some improvement. At least he's alot cheerful now.

At home, we are still looking around for furnitures and stuffs for the new house. Many weekends were spent at furniture warehouse sales, lighting shops, browsing through home-decor books etc. We plan to move in around June, after the kids' examinations.

Anyway, there are still some defects in the floorings and the contractor is working on those now. I can't believe the contractor! I complained about one of the wardrobe doors because it wouldn't close properly. The worker took the whole door off its hinges and when he returned it a week later, there was a lot of bad scratches on it and it still couldn't close properly. I'm making a (defects) list and checking it twice!

Our present home is in a real mess now. Pretty hard to get the kids to clean their rooms.. their replies "Whatever for? We're moving soon." And I'm not exactly a good role model here either. The pile of clothes on the sofa is getting higher and I haven't gotten around to fold them. But I'm busy with work! (excuses, excuses.. heh heh..luckily my own mom isn't around here to nag me!)

Between work and home, I haven't been able to find time to exercise. I haven't gone for the aerobics class in months and my last brisk walking was in January! Haven't put on weight though. That's because I was so busy in office that I usually skip lunch.

I'm also starting on a night course this week - Erosion Control Measures. Not that I'm so studious! No way! But there is a new Building Authority requirement where only those who have completed the course are allowed to endorse on drawings pertaining to erosion control matters. Since all my projects involve excavations and require some form of erosion control, I don't have a choice.

The first lesson starts tomorrow night, from 6.30pm to 9.30pm. And of all days, tomorrow at 10.00pm is the premiere of CSI:NY Season 2. Hopefully the class ends on time. I might just make it home in time for the premiere.
