hmmm kok ga bisa ?? kirain friendster blog udah support HTML skrg.. saw Nonnie posted some animated gifs on her blog .. hmmmmm will need to ask her later.

I am so full  now.. just had the best meal in a long time

For appetizer, we had Batagor ( I made it  ), Risoles ( Yuldi ), Beehoon goreng (Jaime’s mom), and some sushi ( Lois said she made it, but I think she bought it … hmm ). And then the main dish was Kasma’s Chicken Rice .. it’s sooo good !!! ..  The soup, the sauce, and the chilli for the chicken rice were all good too.  And we finished with Nias’ rice pudding.. Yumm ! Everybody stuffed themselves.

I was planning to go on a diet starting tomorrow.. but I brought home some leftovers (enough for a few days hehehehe).. so I guess my diet has to wait !

I think I offended somebody in the morning.  I got my car window tinted a few weeks ago, and I was really unhappy with the rear window. The upper part looked bad because of the dot matrix. The color’s uneven and it looked like there are scratches (some of it was my fault).  So after a couple trips back to the tint shop, the guy agreed to replaced that upper part with the regular tint film, or the "smoke". What I had before was a Silver, metallic color one, and Yuldi’s car got the smoke and his car looks fine, so I thought maybe it would look better. He gave me a lecture about how it’s impossible to get the result I wanted. He’s gonna do it at no cost but he wouldn’t guarantee anything. He said he’s only agreed to do this to satisfy me, his customer. He’s also told me for the umpteenth times that until today the solution to this dot matrix doesn’t exist yet. He said I could call up any tint shop and they would say the same thing. But .. I, being an internet junkie, of course tried to find as much information as I could about this on the net and I came across a website with tips submitted by window tinter across the country to handle this problem. I printed out those pages and hand it to the guy this morning when I dropped my car off.  And he’s like "I don’t need to read those.. I know what I’m doing! I’ve got 18 years of experience.. this is my job"  I felt bad at that moment. I just wanted my car to look good. He continued saying that all the professional tinters got these seminars they go to and they got call from the film manufacturer all the time and if there’s such a solution he would know.  But after several minutes of telling me the same lecture again, he took those printouts and said that he would read those but he’s sure that he’s seen those many times. … Anyway I picked up my car in the afternoon and it actually looked worse than before !! aaargh well he’s given warning about it, he thought the silver color would actually hide a lot of the unevenness… he said there’s nothing else he could do.. he’s gone beyond the call of duty. … 

Besides that… me and Magda went out to lunch with a new Malaysian-Chinese girl at work, Jamie.  She’s new in town and she’s bored with Columbus…she’s surprised that there isn’t many Indo or Malay people in town considering there are hundreds of  Chinese and Indians here …  hahaha

Hmmm what else happened today ya … Gas prices are outrageous! The cheapest regular unleaded is now $3.19/gallon. I don’t know how much the Premium is, I’m guessing about 40 cent more expensive than that.. So the next I need to fill up my tank I probably need 50 bucks ?  Gilaaa!!

…. at this time tomorrow I should be on the air flying to Austin .. can’t wait …
hehe and I already bought a ticket for Thxgiving too :p ..
