No blue eyes :(

After two weeks, when my time for the appointment with the eye-specialist came, she told me that a colored lenses won't have any effect because of the very dark color of my eyes. I doubt that this is completely true since i have a cousin in pk who have more darker eyes than me, wears grey-colored lenses and it works. Maybe there are some special kind of lenses for us Asians that these Finns don't know about. :)

Self-Cooking:

As many people suggested me to cook my own food to lower my cost of living, I thought of giving it a try. Bought the most necessary stuff that i could think of and then took Tommi's help to buy some more stuff that i had no clue of (e.g spices). So today, Tommi was here in the noon and he taught me how to cook some nice vegetable-mix along with rice. It was quite a nice meal and i was astonished to know how cost-effective it is compared to eating out (2:10). He also took a picture of me while eating, which i put here.

Later in the evening, i brought some minced meat and cooked it with some spaghetti. It wasn't very nice but still good enough.

Gst's Flx Plugin:

I made the gstreamer's flx plugin working for 0.9 last week or so but I thought of not committing it before implementing some events, especially seek. Turns out that it wasn't a good idea. :(
