Gas Price and Exchange Rate

Gosh! It has been a while since I updated on those 2 taboo subjects. But this time at least there is a positive result. At least for ur living in the US. As you all know, the gas price is gradually coming down. It was peaked at close to usd5/gallon. As of yesterday morning, Saturday Nov 1, it costs us 2.70/gallon although at noon when we were driving back fr the asian supermarket it went down to 2.66/gallon. Oh well, cant complaint too much. After suffering from a very high cost of gas the last 4-8 months, I am just so relieved that it is now back to what it was a year ago. Now, if only they bring down the price of goods as well. Everything went up when the gas price was up but when the price is down, nobody seems to want to bring down the price of goods.

Now, on the exchange rate, Ringgit Malaysia(RM) to USD it is not looking to good for Malaysian. Since Friday Oct 31, my exchange rate ticker on my notebook says that it is USD1 = RM3.553. It is of course good for Malaysian sending back money to home or if you are planning to go back and spend some moolah there. (Cath, Gert & Jannie, aren't you guys going back next year?)

Simply Stunning Sky

This is what I woke up to a couple of weeks ago. You know I am not in a habit of taking pictures but that morning I knew I had to go back in and grab my camera.

The sky was so clear and blue.

The clouds pink.

And orangey.

Simply stunning morning. Dont you agree?

Our Raya Open House

A Game

It is Columbus Day today so some people got the day off. Like my Baby. hehe. But how did we spent the day? Well, besides both being on the computer, we didnt do anything much. And we also did the laundry.

This is what I made for my breakfast. Prawn fritters. Finely chopped prawn mix into the batter and with a whole prawn on top. Double prawn, prawn fritters! Click SaltNTurmeric to see the rest of the pictures.

This however, is the how-to-con-your-big-baby-into-eating-seafood prawn fritters that I made for who else but my big Baby a.ka. Michael. Although he ate most of them (as usual, I made a lot), this poor fella however was put on my plate. Do you know why?

Medical Check Up - Update

Hi all, thanks for all the kind words and prayers that were sent my way. Just so you all know, it was not a routine check up. I am now waiting for the biopsy tests result that I should get sometime in 2 weeks time. Arrgh! I hate waiting.

******************************************************************

A short note.

After 2 years in a row of regular papsmear result but found positive for something else, today I am going for a colposcopy test. What that is you ask? Well, it is a more in-depth test than papsmear. And that's all I can tell you. I am one of those people who do not like TMI (that's Too Much Information, if you dont already know it). Although I bet I would change if the result is anything but clear.

So wish me luck y'all.
