Matcha Kitkat

Ah, this is the "good" green tea Kitkat! Matcha (powder green tea) is supposed to be higher class than the leafy one. This Kitkat smells grassy like matcha alright. Quite milky, though. Taste... good of course. But I must say I was bias because I was hungry. (There, a friend said how can I be skinny even with all these junk food. The answer is, I don't eat when I'm not hungry.) Somehow this Kitkat is more milky than what I had around 2002. That was I believe their first green tea flavour. Just green tea, not matcha. And it was green like this one. Hmm... is it just me, or the recent Kitkat actually are more milky?

Kitkat: Cookie and Milk

Is this the same as cookie and cream??? It has a strong milk smell and... can't really taste anything but sugar. Way too sweet! Argh! Maybe I'm not a big fan of milk. The chocolate is white and as usual, contains nothing but fat and sugar. The cookie part should be chocolate, but can't taste any. The top half is the cookie bits while the bottom half is the regular Kitkat wafer. Seems like the only thing good is the texture.

Air care

The insurance isn't due until the end of this month, but since the engine warning light is still on and doesn't look like it wanna go off any time soon, I did air care early. Just in case it fails and need time for repair. The test was really quick. As soon as I finished snapping 3 Pinky photos, it was done! Much sooner than previous times. Yikes! Did I fail right away or something? Luckily, I pass. That's $45. (T_T) At least I'm glad that I don't need to do it again for another 2 years. Will I still pass? Hmm... (Hope so.)
$60 violin + bow + case + rosin? Is that for real???? The case alone worth more than $60! (Well, that's when I last looked 10 years ago...) I bet that's made in China. Quality... questionable.

Strong wind

Ah-ha! That's why I was aching like hell. It totally sucks. The sun was shinning, the sky was blue without clouds. Yet all the bones in my body felt like they've got their marrow vacuumed empty. No energy. (T_T) The chiropractor appointment helped a little bit.

Yeah, the wind's pretty strong. Didn't know trees actually fell and hit power lines etc. Power outage followed. Luckily not in Vancouver. Streets are littered with broken branches and leaves, though.
No, that car wasn't leaving. It was parked like that. And there's an ally right in front so the driver should have no excuse.

Firefox 3.0... SLOW!!!

Relatives left. Back to my old boring life. But I'll have to say, going out and eating out everyday is exhausting. I'll need a few days to recoup. Will I ever get rid of the extra inch around my waist? (T_T)

First, need to finish up a greeting card that contains Japanese text. Have been searching online for half a day. Finding the right one is time-consuming. (And, in the process, picked up a whole bunch of fonts that I don't have... and possibly don't need...)

So, got the Japanese font I want, but Photoshop won't read it because its name is in Japanese! (T_T) Aaaargh!!! Help... !!! (T_T) It's the font name, not file name. So I can't rename it. (T_T)

Somehow Firefox 3.0 downloads much more slower. Grrr... Must be that added virus scan every time you go download or "right click save as". It's a nuisance when you have to download the fonts one by one. (T_T)
