Birthday Celebration

Well I'll have a early birthday celebration with my friends. I've waited this day to come by. From early of this year till today I'll spend much money treating or giving gifts to friends on their birthday celebration.

Now this is my turn...to request something from them....since my friends are asking me where/what cuisine I like. Hmmm...upon thinking...I've give them some option to choose.

"As I'm having sore throat lately, I prefer food which are not heaty. I would like having a buffet dinner or steamboat or Japanese food or etc."

I'm not that cruel to ask something exorbitantly expensive food in the town. At least I give them other option....beside than what i've requested by putting the words "etc..."

But so far my friends haven't come back to me where they are will celebrating my birthday!

Is my request too much?

Last Exile

Just finish watching this anime. It have a rather sad ending. A lot of people die in the last episode.


Dio Eraclea


Luciola

I'm very sad to see the death of Dio Eraclea and his bodyguard cum servant cum friend...Luciola...he is such a loyal friend to Dio.

Plot~excerpt from Wikipedia

The story revolves around Claus Valca and Lavie Head, a young courier pilot and his navigator, and their adventures in the floating world of Prester. In this romantic sky world based on stylized Victorian fashion and society, two countries, Anatole and Dysis (sometimes phonetically rendered as Anatoray and Disith), are engaged in a long and bloody war under the supervision of the mysterious Guild. Claus and Lavie, piloting their vanship (a small wingless aircraft) find themselves involved in a plot surrounding a mysterious little girl named Alvis Hamilton, whom they must deliver as "cargo" to the much-feared neutral battleship "Silvana".

Review : Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha

It quite a short anime which contain only 13 episodes. It a mission type anime with some magical power involved. It basically tell the story of a little school going girl name Nanoha who help a animal that look like ferret (is transformed from an injured boy) to collect some crystal which land in that area. So there are some fighting with others to collect the crystal.

The storyline is quite easy to follow. The graphic is nice. It have mild nudity. But 1 thing I don't like is why this anime have to use such little girl to be the protagonist. I rather prefer a teenager than a school girl.

Durian Cake [Recipe]

Upon request from my colleagues....and to fulfill their wish, I bake durian cake. This is my first time baking it. The result is fantastic....it taste good. I recommend it to those who loves cakes & durian...give it a try.

I must say this recipe I get it from Kuali Online and is workable for me.

DURIAN CAKE

Ingredients

250g butter
225g fine castor sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
4 eggs
125g durian flesh, pureed

Sift:

200g self-raising flour
50g plain flour

Method
Preheat oven to 170 ºC. Grease a 20cm round cake tin. Cream butter, sugar and essence until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time and add durian puree gradually.

Fold in sifted flours and mix well to blend. Pour batter into prepared tin and bake in preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes or until cake is done when tested with a skewer.

***Personal Note

I cut down on the sugar to 180g as the durian itself have some sweetness.
By the way, the recipe request for fine castor sugar...I can't figure out which type it refer to. I just use icing sugar.

We could put more durian flesh to enhance the flavour (try to buy strong fragrance durian), but don't put too much as the cake might not raise. I myself put 150g durian flesh.
Durian pured?....well just smash the durian flesh.

According to the comment posted in Kuali Online, the cake could not store long. So have to finish it up in 1 or 2 days.

Just drop me a message if you have successfully bake it using the above recipe.

Some thought for guys....

Guys...

realize that the girl holding onto u..
is PERFECT in her own special way.

The way she laughs..
The way she sleeps..
The way she loves you..
The way she tries to please you...

Always remember that.

She can always get up and walk away,
getting someone else who can love her more.

For all you know,
there is someone out there
wooing her already,
but she is rejecting,
a maybe perfect love for her..

There might also be someone out there..
who is willing to love her more than
you are loving her now,
fulfill her every need
and love her as much as
she loves you.

Understand that.

Imagine this, guys.
When you are holding her today...
and then you cheat on her by hugging
and kissing another gal.
and then you run back to her...
and u do the same....
but you see love in her eyes...
What do you think?
Do you feel the hurt?
Can you feel the guilt?

She loves you not because you are
good looking,
have money,
buy her things,
make her parents happy,
or that you have a car.

She loves you for who you are.
Your every touch, every word you say,
everything you do.

Guys,

Cherish and appreciate your girl.
Don't break her fragile heart.
She is the only one who can love you that way.
You won't wanna regret letting go
of that special girl you have.
For everything she has done for you,
the least you can do is to give her unconditional
love as she has given to you.

Girls and guys...
if you agree with this,
repost this just so that everyone
can read this and appreciate
their girls more.
