Yes I have to help two collegues move their desk (well, their computer), which really is a change of work habits as lately it has been really boring "again".

Marcus had his first solids during the weekend. Sunday morning, he had suck on some "kai lanh" and eat "tofu fa" (without the sweetened syrup, of course!) and basically smiles and laughs loudly during yum cha!! He looks like he enjoyed it.

It was free and break/lunch was also provided!
