Since I was out on Thursday night, I missed that one. But I have not forgotten the one on Friday night. This time, the show presents a very smart idea but I am totally against it! I will make it short here.
Problem:
Microwaving a plate of frozen food - when you can take the plate out of the microwave, its too hot for you to touch
Answer:
Used plastic wrap and instead of covering the whole sides of the plates, they cover 2 sides across and the remainder...is folded next to the food. The exposed part of the plate is cooler than the food cooked inside because the plastic wrap maintains all the heat and vapour in. So if you do not cover the plate fully with plastic wrap, you are able to remove it from the microwave easily.
But I wouldn't use it because it uses plastic wrap.

Kamen Rider Kiva Screencaps #02
Each episode will be shown in this blog and of course, there are a lot of spoilers!!! Bear in mind that if you haven't watched Kamen Rider Kiva, please do not look at anything more than the first few episodes screencaps at your leisure. You will certainly not be disappointed! You have been warned lol. And I will not always provide everything so it is up to you to do your homework and watch it =D.
~Comments are welcomed if you take the screencaps~! =D
Synopsis:
Twenty-two years after the disappearance of his father, Wataru Kurenai (protrayed by Seto Koji) lives in an infamous "haunted house" where he is destined Kamen Rider Kiva to fight life-draining monsters called Fangires, the very race his father fought years ago before his disappearance. Wataru must also deal with Kamen Rider Ixa who is part of an organization seeking to destroy the Fangire menace. The story is split between the actions of Wataru in the present (2008) and his father Otoya in the past (1986), slowly revealing the link between the Fangire Race and Kiva.
The characters of Kamen Rider Kiva are spread throughout two time periods, each related to one another. This story is centered around Otoya and Wataru.

Episode 02 of Kamen Rider Kiva!! As always the beginning of a drama or series would always leave an impression on us audiences. So this means that the 2nd episode will be so much more compelling than the first don't you think? Need to give this series another chance!

魔法生活王 (Magic King of Life) - Pork Spiced Buns
Mum and I made these the other night where we watched really amazing stuff from this Taiwan show called 魔法生活王; the literal translation: The Magic King of Life.
haha it is not about magic as in magicians but the show delivers and promotes ways of saving, using up resources smartly and basically simplifying life everyday. I guess I am quite interested in it and will most likely blog about it in the future.
http://www.settv.com.tw/metro/m109/
And this is one of my favourite shows despite it being for kids but I really find it hilarious and easy to understand (mandarin not being one of my strongest points). Although I will not be attempting the actual 'magic' myself for most of it, there is no harm in blogging about it.
Maybe I will do that one day and will show it with visuals. haha! Then towards the end of the show, both the guy and girl will introduce something very interesting that is either a type of toy or something that will prove to be useful anytime. Its so funny because when they promote the object in the beginning, the have a really really long name for it to describe its attributes. The guy can't really say it even though it is written up on the screen ahahaha! Poor him, only learnt chinese during high school so you can't really blame him lol. But it is worth the laughs!
Some of the most notable things in my opinion that they proposed:
Anyway, here is one that mum and I tried out from the show: a recipe.....

Some of the most notable things in my opinion that they proposed:
- Making your own wrapping paper by printing out whatever cool stuff you have stored up at home; e.g. colourful buttons or glitter stickers or coloured pins
- Using already-made pudding from a container, waffle corn powder and a microwave to make pudding into a cake; yummy!
- Instead of having brain freeze just from frozen juice, boil the juice and add cotton candy, then cool, and freeze it. It becomes very soft and anyone can eat it without sensitive teeth
- Using a plastic bag and straw to add in air to inflate a beach balloon that is not designed for a person to do so
- making exercise equipment out of sponge mat and stretchy rope.
- Memorising and remembering effectively by covering your ears and reciting loudly (it works)
Anyway, here is one that mum and I tried out from the show: a recipe.....

Episode is already quite full on in terms of introducing everything that you need to know about Kiva in the beginning and you can already pick up on some hints. Nevertheless, what I reveal below is not the whole thing; and there are more than what you see below. Comments are loved if you have something to say!

Wow that synopsis is quite revealing but I suppose that it is what you should expect from a Kamen Rider show hehe.
Anyway, I wanted to play around with this program that my camera has in which I forgot that there was such a thing. It actually merges the pictures together and that some pictures fade into the other.
Kurenai Wataru who has inherited everything
Nago-kun
Jiro
Ramon and Riki
Kurenai Otoya & Kurenai Wataru in a church
The coolest of them all - Kurenai Otoya and Kurenai Wataru
Although the pictures have my blog's name on it, the real credit should go to pali-mari for the scans.
Comments are loved if you take them, and at the same time, let me know which one is your favourite!!

Chinese Paladin Series
Liu YiFei as Ling Er (灵儿) and Hu Ge as Xiao Yao (逍遥哥哥) in Chinese Paladin 仙剑奇侠传。
I absolutely am a sore bum for this series! So much that is happening and I can't stop letting my emotions get in the way of it. Though it is good to cry ahahaha~
Anyway! I have finally finished watching Chinese Paladin with mum! Whoo! And to be honest, I really thought that it was quite centered on the characters but I guess that with Chinese stories, that is definitely not the case.
Actually, this drama was based off the original game and although there are slight alterations between the originality of the game and the drama, I am disappointed that we still don't know who 李逍遥's (Li Xiao Yao) parents are!! After all that commotion and I was like...huh? It ended...
I feel like selling my series now that I have seen it. Sadly, its not good quality, especially towards the end where the sounds are distorted. That is what you get when you don't know which company you are buying the "dvd" from. Haaa...it makes me want to play the games now!! 4 games in total with the first being known as the Legend of Sword and Fairy (the actual name whereas Chinese paladin is the drama name), in which they are all prequels or sequels released at after the first.
Drama Synopsis
The kingdom of Nan Zhao is brainwashed by the chief of a moon-worshipping cult who forces the King to sentence his Queen to death, claiming that she is a demoness. In reality, the queen is the descendent of Nu Wa, a goddess. The evil chief unleashes a water demon and the queen sacrifices herself to save her people from the demon. Before she sacrifices, she asks Jiu Zui Xian and a masked stranger to bring her daughter and grandmother away.
The present story occurs 10 years after the prologue. Li Xiao Yao is a mischievous orphan who lives with his auntie. His auntie falls sick with an incurable illness which will result in death. 2 mysterious men appeared and told Xiao Yao to travel to a magical land to retrieve an antidote for her that is able to cure any illness. He meets Zhao Ling'er who is the long-lost daughter of Nan Zhao Kingdom's Queen together with her grandmother. Xiao Yao is mystified when Ling'er and her grandmother recognises his name and calls him a saviour.
Following on from there, Xiao Yao tries to retrieve the antidote for his auntie but have to meet certain conditions before he can return home......

The synopsis only covers about half of the 1st episode. Enough said...otherwise I will reveal too much. It is a solid drama where love is the centered theme (love triangles) and not to mention the apprehensive and exhilarating swordfights. Though there were some pretty scary zombie scenes....It is not just a series for females but males can also enjoy this as well since the series documents all of Li Xiao Yao 李逍遥's journey but on the other hand, there are side stories as well which fits into the overall image of the drama.
I encourage you to watch it! It is really compelling.
阿奴和唐钰小宝(Ah Nu and Tang Yu). 逍遥哥哥和灵儿 （Xiao Yao and Ling Er - though I wished that the Ling is the one on the hand as it looks more nicely written than "灵". Click to enlarge.
Well I am not going to write more than this or show pictures more than this so you will have to watch it!
