Bday Bash
Well, to be precise, more like a lunch session. 
Our team celebrated three colleagues’ bdays together (2 from last month and 1 this month) at Modesto's in KL. The ambiance was very nice, I particularly liked the colour red used as the basic shade of the table settings. The subtle lighting added some taste to the décor.
There were fish tanks used as wall decoration (with some fishes in them). Very nice, but I would guess hard to maintain.
As for the food, presentation of the dishes looked good, but quality was not up to scratch. Had better tasting food elsewhere.
Even for the pizza, there were some traditional shaped ones, and some uniquely shaped pizzas.
The desert seemed more interesting. Tiramisu - ok ok, Brownie with IceCream - hmmm, so so. 
But their homemade IceCream with nuts is a must! One of the better ones I must admit.
Some interesting names from the drinks menu, which I am sure, some will get a total kick from reading and letting their imagination go wild! Overall, it was a good lunch, and the cost did not set us back that much, given that Citibank had a promotion going with Modesto’s, by providing a 50% discount on the Pizzas and Pastas!

Petrol Costs
Petrol hike since 1990
Bef 1990 - RM 0.89
Year 1990 - RM 1.10 (up RM 0.21)
01/10/2000 - RM 1.20 (up RM 0.10)
20/10/2001 - RM 1.30 (up RM 0.10)
01/05/2002 - RM 1.32 (up RM 0.02)
31/10/2002 - RM 1.33 (up RM 0.01)
01/03/2003 - RM 1.35 (up RM 0.02)
01/05/2004 - RM 1.37 (up RM 0.02)
01/10/2004 - RM 1.42 (up RM 0.05)
05/05/2005 - RM 1.52 (up RM 0.10)
31/07/2005 - RM 1.62 (up RM 0.10)
28/02/2006 - RM 1.92 (up RM 0.30)
Therefore on average, annual increase between 2000 and now:
= [(1.92/1.20-1)] x [365/(28Feb06-1Oct00)]
= 60.00% x 365/1976
= 11.08%!!!
