| Another House WarmingThis time is from the gang, whom have helped me a lot in all aspect regarding this home from the very beginning till now. The first time I walk into this unit during the home-looking process, they are there with me.
Strictly speaking, this should be the 3rd home warming from them. The first was right after I "received" the flat back in beginning of August, the second was in mid-Sep, right after completion of renovation. The third house warming was on last night, we have ordered take away food from a local Thai restaurant, and then watched a movie together. It is wonderful, to spend a simple night with your best friend.

| First House WarmingAfter 3 weeks of non-stop late night sleep, my home is finally in a state that is not too bad for friends to visit, excluding the visits from my best friends, the first house warming party was last Sat from Joseph fellowship.
17 people came on that day:
Everyone bring a dish for lunch:
Dinner made from my kitchen, by our professional chef, Shirley and Billy - Lasagna, Ribs, Seafood Risotto, White wine clams, Snails, Onion soap.
Thank God for providing me this place, as well as the good friends helping me all the time, and giving me a smooth moving in process. Hope that this place can become a good place for gatherings for all of my friends.
Btw, I am going to Xiamen today for business trip (to attend a course named "國務院國有資產監督管理委員會研究中心高級研修班" - I wonder why they always like to make long names), will be back on Sat.
p.s. Hurray! CN govt. no longer blocks website such as xanga, Mingpao......thanks to the Olympics! Delighted to see improvements of the Govt. (this post is original posted in HK airport, then edited in CN hotel)

| Moved inI have taken leave on Friday and coming Monday for moving home. Thanks to Raymond and my brother's help, I am going to sleep in my new home immediately.
However, the current state of my new place is extremely messy, when you look at the stuff on the floor............it cause you great stress. I feel so bad about it right now, I am not sure how can I fit all this things in my tiny place=(
This is the floor plan if you are interested : http://www.floorplanner.com/nhq4ce/Rich22/Final

| Another UpdatesNearly a month has passed since my last entry.......
Quite busy during the period, business trip, urgent tasks at work, new home renovation and Sunday school teaching. The consequent of all these are lack of sleep and lack of exercises. (I have thought of using "extremely busy" to describe my situation in the first sentence but finally I've changed to "quite busy", since I remembered that I've went through tougher times during my younger days of just entering the work force.)
I am still thankful for all these, in the end, it is not a bad thing to be busy about renovating your own home, it is joyful preparing Sunday school, and due to the trouble in Thailand, it seems that my coming business trip can be delayed a bit (I wish it can be delayed until I fully moved in to new place - expected to be around 21st this month).
Never in my life I have pay so much time and effort in looking for things and buying things. For the last 4 weeks, I've walked through Lockheart Road at least 3 times a week just to look at renovation related stuff.
Lastly, special thanks, and many many thanks for the gangs, I must say, you guys care about my new home more than I do! Including but not limited to accompanying me walking through Lockheart Road, choosing renovator and talking with renovator, giving opinion and advice on furniture, style and color of things, buying stuff for me when I am busy....etc. Without those help, I can't imagine how painful the process will become.
