After the long exam, it was Chinese New Year!!! And also not the end of my stress... During that time, I gotta do last minute spring cleaning and help up in baking cookies and cakes. There's one cake I made all by myself, that is the Rich Chocolate Nut Cake.
Ya, ya, the nuts seemed uneven. I'm still an amateur at baking, hehe. It's a flourless chocolate cake with brandy. It's that kind of cake people only eat at tea time or as a dessert after lunch or dinner. After baking it, I brought some to my uncle's house for reunion dinner. Luckily I did, there's no dessert available there beside my cake. Everybody love it and finished it that night.
On the second day of CNY, we went back to my mom's hometown in Sitiawan. We celebrated CNY as well as my mom's uncle's birthday. We went to a restaurant to celebrate. They booked like 10 dishes for every table! We ate until we can hardly move! Lol! It was a nice trip though, I got many ang pows! Muahahaha!
Then, was just visiting, visiting and visiting. Went to friends' and relatives' houses for party a few times till college starts again.
During the CNY I've watched two great series. One is a famous Japanese drama, One Litre of Tears and the other one is Kyou Kara Maoh! or rather known as God(?) Save the King!
One Litre of Tears or One Litre no Namida is an adapatation of the diary of a Japanese girl named Aya Kitō, who suffered from spinocerebellar ataxia. Throughout the series is about how she cope with her illness. Despite knowing she's going to die one day, she did not lose all the will to live. She got the illness when she was 15 and her life ended when she was 25. This is a very sad and touching true story.
Kyou Kara Maoh!, on the other hand, is a funny anime series about a boy named, Shibuya Yuuri who got flushed into the other world when he tried to save a boy from the bullies but ended up getting his head shoved and flushed into the toilet bowl by the bullies instead. Lol.
In the other world, he found himself being hail as the next Maoh or Demon King of Shin Makoku. He later began to learn that the demons, called Mazoku in the series, do not live in peace with the humans. He was reluctant to be the Maoh at first but later agrees to it and try to bring peace between the humans and Mazoku. Throughout the series, Yuuri always ended up in hilarious situations such as accidentally got himself engaged to a boy, Wolfram, when he slapped him. In the Mazoku's custom, slapping someone is asking that someone for his or her hand in marriage, LOL! If you like comedy/adventure/shounen-ai genre then you'll enjoy this series :)
Kyou Kara Maoh
My favourite character in this series is Conrad Weller. He's the most handsome guy in the series without looking too girly or act too wimpish. There are many male characters in this series that look either too girly or act too wimpish. Even the main character, Yuuri can act very wimpish sometimes. Lol.
