Add flour and salt and stir until just combined and no streaks of dry ingredients remain.
Pour into prepared pan and spread into an even layer.

To prepare cheesecake mixture, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth.

Distribute the cheesecake mixture in 8 dollops over batter in the pan. Swirl in with a knife or spatula.

and lastly, we have to wrapped his birthday present and we decided to self-made a card for him. we planned to actually make him some love-threat card, so we browsed through magazines to search for words, phrase, alphabets, etc. and then, we ended up with this...... not a love-threat card anymore. it was more to sexuality LOL.
