Power of Google
Yes, I do realize that I have not made a post for more than a week. I actually made a few attempts, but all of them ended up being "drafts" and did not make their way to public cyberworld. I'm planning on getting them out there soon. And I decided to upload pictures that I promised to my picasa later, since there are a lot of them.
Today I wasn't so busy (again) because I finished dealing with EIGA documents yet my manager just keeps disappearing. So I played around with Google Sketchup (again) to polish my 3-D CAD skill. I made a tire, though the idea of the design was mostly taken from designs that are already in existence. The logo in the center is just initials of my name.
Then I couldn't help but to install this to an actual model of a car.

...with M.C.K. tire.
I didn't actually draw the car...it would take me more than a day to do that.
AIESEC Galati is holding a series of events called @12/60, celebrating 12 years of AIESEC Galati and 60 years of AIESEC Interational. There will be a global village, and I'll be responsible for Japan/US table (somehow I think they don't go together very well). I need to prepare some kind of food for this, because without it nobody would show any interest for my table. And there won't be too many tables I presume because of lack of diversity and trainees (I'm the only one at this point) in Galati, so if my table looks bad, it'll bring down the quality of this event as a whole. But what can I cook when there's nothing Japanese around me other than Kikkoman Soy Sauce?
I almost gave up on this, but yesterday I came up with an idea. In Japan there are numerous ways to cook rice, and there's one method called "takikomi (炊き込み)" which is a way of steaming rice with some ingredients to give flavor to the rice. I can make this into rice balls for easy distribution at the table. I made some last night with chicken, and it was pretty ok. I'm planning to make this one more time, probably tomorrow, to make sure it tastes ok when it's cold because I was too hungry last night to wait until it cools down.
