The Journal

The baking mood is still there...especially cupcakes! These are the cakes I baked yesterday. Aren't they lovely ? Sweet to your eyes....even sweeter to your mouth. But I still have a lot to learn when it comes to decorating the cuppies. I don't attend any classes and I learn it all from the internet and I've improved my self. Not equipped with proper tools and instruments is not an excuse for me to expand my interest. In fact, it makes me to be more creative. Before I had my oven, I tried cake recipes that only required me to steam and I still prefer steamed chocolate cakes ! Before, I never knew what is whipped cream..what is piping jelly...what is creamwell and all the baking stuffs. Really ! And now all the stuffs are important ingredients that you can surely find in my kitchen.I never thought I would say this.....I enjoy cooking..baking...being in the kitchen and trying new recipes. And I'm proud of myself, hehehe.

I'm sorry for the delay to inform that we have just got another new member of the family. Though both parents have just being in our family for less than two years but they have been a wonderful company to all of us..especially for my Abah. I'd like to welcome the latest member of our family who was born on 22nd of January 2008 - Masa, son of Saat and Ketika . Saat is indeed a very proud father since he had the chance to witness the birth of his first offspring from the very beginning to the end. Ketika is reported to be in an excellent condition and so does the "baby boy". He (the baby) managed to make his first step just minutes after being delivered which is a good sign. This is the photo of Masa in attempt to make his first step. Masa bin Saat Ketika is encouraging her son to make his first step. "Come on son...you can do it....."

Here I am at half past one in the morning...trying hard to jot down something out of my mind....out of my heart. I used to love writing and I even thought of becoming a writer or a journalist. I wrote things that I love and hate, things that touched my heart, things that I enjoyed and don't and lots more. But despite of the different things..it all came from one source, straight from my heart. I also had always loved singing. I event took part in several singing competition, seriously ! But I didn't win. I guess it's in my blood since my father was a good singer (he even had a commercial name- Ahmad Jaafar , hehehe ), well I think he's still is but now he only "sings" the words from the Holy Quran. My Kakak can sing well too...and so does my sister Ahlami.....owh....she loves to sing which everybody knows, just like me. If she didn't sing she would hum. Even my brother Welloh enjoys singing....he sings for dikir barat .....owh...how I love dikir barat . A...

My Beloved Ma and Abah Wan Muhammad & Wan Hasnah's Family (December 2007)

Yup, that's right. He's gone to Terengganu for a meeting until this Friday or probably Saturday. Due to a small mistakes , my Ayang only got the message this morning while his flight was at 11.45 a.m..the same morning ! There was no way that he could catch that flight so they ( the people who are in charged) had to reschedule my Ayang's flight to3.45 in the afternoon. Exactly at 12 noon he rushed to KK by a taxi. Tinggal laa aku 4 beranak......huhuhuuu... Owh....my photo is finally here, at last! I mean...my family photo that we took on Eidul- Adha last December.Thanks a lot Che' Jie, Yasmin really appreciate it, hehehe. Punya la lama tunggu Che Jie post....owh...memang cantik la gambar tue.....muka aku yg ada parut2 jerawat sumer jadik licin, ha! ha! ha! Bagus...bagus. I'm gonna frame and hang it at special corner in my house.

Hahaha...what a title. The truth is...I feel like updating something but I don't have the mood to do so. Gini lah...on Monday aku try wat Chapati for the first time. Rasa macam jadik kot...ingatkan anak2 tak makan sebab memang the kids tak pernah makan pon, so I decided to uli sikit jela..takut tak laku chapati gue....but lain pulak jadi nya.....laku la plak Chapati ku itu.....suker la plak anak2 makan cicah ngan kari ayam. So for lunch yesterday they had chapati for lunch. Sekejap jer licin pinggan. Ni yang buat aku semangat nak wat lagik. Kenyang rupenya makan chapati ni yer? :) anak2 sedang menikmati Chapati (yg boy tu anak member, tumpang gi skolah sama2 ngan Sophea) And I also baked some cupcakes with buttercream frosting. Thanks to my friend Riko for the recipe ! The kids love 'em so much ! Siap wat bekal gi skolah lagi. my cuppies As for today......I'm out of idea and spirit to cook anything. Aduhai.....nak suh my Ayang tapau kan KFC, malas la plak.....malas nak c...

I have a confession to make.... I LOVE CHEESECAKES ! and since now I know how to make good, delicious, creamy and yummy cheesecakes I want to make 'em everyday! Owh.....gumuks la sayer kalau makan cheesecake hari2. But really.....I can finish the whole 9'' cheesecake all by myself and that's not good.....not good for my health. To those who have been thinking of trying a cheesecake recipe I highly recommend you to try this recipe . The ingredients are simple and easy to find and it's easy to make too. You can serve it with blueberry , topped 'em with whipped cream,drizzle with chocolate or just have it as it is ! Any way you like it....it's delicious. I think once you've tried this recipe, you'll never need to visit Secret Recipe anymore...oops! Hehehe... (this message is specially dedicated to my lil' sis- Jie, who loves spending her dime at Secret Recipe) sepotong jer ? mana cukup beb!

First and foremost I'd like to apologize to my handsome and honest nephew.. Wafi a.k.a Angah for this belated birthday wish.....Sowiiii yer Angah......you think I forgot? Nope...I never forget la.... So...Happy belated 12th birhtday to Ahmed Wafi Rashid which was celebrated on the 7th February......may Allah bless you always and good luck for your upcoming UPSR.....jadilah anak yang soleh....okay!

I guess...I'm not fun to be with, I guess.....I'm a bored person, I guess.....I am nobody, I guess.....I am not special...far from being important, I guess....I think too much, I guess......that's all. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Happy Chinese New Year everyone.....

I've been thinking of updating this blog for days....even when I was lying down while breastfeeding Aina I kept thinking of the words and stories to jot down. So here it goes.... I don't know why....but I love spending my time at the bakery supplier shop (and the kids too). I enjoy being there...much2 enjoyable if I could grab and buy a thing or two......well, of course baking and cooking stuffs. The kids love being there because they can buy jajan..... *shaking head. I buy my cheeses here.....my baking utensils.....and next I'm hoping to buy my basic decorating tools.....(dah aim dah satu set ni ...nampak kat Pasar Rakyat, hehehe) And I think cooking and baking is like a therapy to me......trying new recipes and applying new techniques. And this is my latest project.... Okay ker? this is my second attempt "playing" with whipped cream. The first time I tried the cake looked like as if someone had smashed their face on it. Despite of not having the right tools I st...

Hehehe....some pics of Aina. My sweet little Aina sangat la baik and tak banyak karenah. Most of her photos taken when she's sleeping.....so ni ada photo Aina tengah nangis, hehehe..... Uwaaaaaaaaa.......!!!

yer....hari ni kita akan belajar pasal jajan. What is jajan ? mengikut pemahaman saya "jajan" ialah makanan ringan atau pun dalam bahasa omputeh nyer ialah junk food. Suami saya suker sangat beli dan makan jajan. Antara jajan2 kegemaran dia ialah : 1) coklat -aper jua jenis coklat, yang murah aper lagi yang mahal sumer dia bedal. 2) cikedis -hahaha......aper ha nama yg proper skit?tp jenis mcm Twisties ... cheezels ..... double decker .....dan segala adik beradik nyer dia mmg suker. Owh...yang paling dia suker ialah Super Rings. 3) sotong kering - kenapa la aku rasa cam nak gelak bila taip dan sebut sotong kering? tp mmg dia sker makan sotong kering nih...nak2 yg di gelek nipis dan di salut gula or lada tue.......owh..amatlah di gemarinyer....tambah2 lagi aroma sotong itu yg kuat dan seolah2 memanggil2. Itu lah antara senarai jajan yg suami saya suker makan. Memandangkan suami saya suker sgt makan jajan2 tersebut dan sentiasa memastikan stok sentiasa ada di rumah..maka anak2...

I'd like to wish my handsome, adorable, humble, incredibly exceptional tall nephew (pergh! kembang seh!).... Ahmed Zaki Rashid a very Happy 27th birthday......eh, 24 ......eh.....aper plak 24.... 14th birthday . May Allah bless you . Semoga berjaya in every good things you do.....jadilah anak yg soleh...dengar cakap mama n papa.....aiseh...cam orang tua la plak Che' Ja nih. Hihihi... yup...he is ONLY 14 years old Sophea with her Abang Zaki lepas cabut gigi dengan Che' Jie

Yup, I definitely need a break. Sometimes I'm just tired and I feel like quitting, but I can't. Can I ? I hate when I'm easily get mad.....I don't look pretty when I'm mad...hehehe It's just not healthy.....emotionally, physically and mentally. I just need a hand.....*sigh* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This morning I received a call. Actually I hate getting calls during weekdays because most of the calls are wrong numbers. Really ! caller : hello, saya dari SMK Keningau II, boleh sambungkan ke bahagian akaun ? " me : sori cik salah nombor... caller : oh...ini bukan *PPG kah ? me : bukan...ini rumah. caller : owh..sori2...... (*PPG stands for Pejabar Pelajaran Gabungan) but this morning it was a special call...from Kak Pb , a blogger like me. What a small world...she used to live nearby my late granny's house. I used to go to her granny's too.. she knows my cousins....I know hers.... She even like to spend watching movies at my granny's w...

Aidil Adha , 20 December 2007. Banjir 2007 yang sangat la lama.....sampai naik boring..hehehe

My name is Janna and I'm a mother of four aged 7,6,2 and 2 months....and owh not forget to mention...all girls. Every morning I start my day like a buzzing busy bee doing non-stop chores...with various types of "commercials" between every chores. I took the frozen fish/chickenout from the freezer before I take my bath, I bathed and dressed my two younger girls , prepared simple express breakfast -bread and milo normally for the elder girl, 6 oz formula milk for Yasmin and a mug of milo or nescafe for me. Grabbed my laundry and dry them outside under the bright sunshine. Luckily someone invented the fully automatic washing machine which made my life and most of other people's life much2 easier. Just toss all the dirty laundry into the machine before you go to bed , press the magic button ON and the next morning everything is done...tinggal sidai jer. If only there are machines that can fold your laundry automatically I'd like to have one too. Paling malas nak li...

I have been planning and doing a lot of research...(research? hahaha) and homework on cheese cakes. I surfed for various types of cheesecake recipes and hoping to find the most easiest, simplest and least complicated but delicious recipe possible. I read all the comments from forums, the do's and the don't's when making cheesecakes, all the crucial and important tips.......after all of those thing..I finally had the courage to make my own cheesecake. Hehehe.....So there I was..whipping the cream cheese (manually, noted) at 12 o'clock in the morning......! This morning, being impatient to know how my cheesecake turned out I head straight for the cheesecake in the fridge and had it for my breakfast! Hehehe.......it was so damn yummmmmmy ! Credits to recipe owner and also to myself...hehehe. So..this is my SIMPLY SINFUL CHEESECAKE...
