The Journal

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

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...

Alahai....ada budak hilang lagi... Sharlinie namanyer, omo 5 tahun... kalau ada saper2 yg ternampak ker.....terlihat ker.....cepat2 la telipon polis.....tp jangan la plak wat maklumat palsu.... kesian budak nie......hilang masa main dekat area rumah dia ......kakak dia yg omo 8 tahun nampak adik dia kena tarik oleh seorang pompuan masuk dalam keta.....sedih nyer..... marilah kita Rakyat Malaysia dan umat Islam di seluruh dunia sama2 berdoa semoga adik Sharlinie ni akan selamat di temui....... "Ya Allah...! Selamatkan lah Adik Sharlinie......kembalikanlah dia kepada keluarganya dalam keadaan selamat sejahtera...Amin. "

I'd like to wish all of my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters "Selamat Menyambut Tahun Baru Hijrah 1429", May the new year brings more barakah to all of us.....insyaAllah.

My eldest dah pon masuk darjah 1 ! Alahai...cepat nyer anak mak besar.....on her first day to school it was Ayah who sent her. If only I could go by myself it would've been me ....tapi nak wat cemaner. Keadaan tak mengizinkan. Kakak was doing just fine on her first day......tu pon berdozen2 taklimat aku bagi , hehehe.......siap pesan dekat my other half suh snap a few pictures of Sophea. Tak boleh...mesti amik gambar, at least by the time Sophea is all grown up she'll still remember how she looked when she first entered her Primary....if she happens to read this blog. Untuk Kakak....belajar rajin2 yer.....mak doakan semoga kakak akan berjaya sokmo.....mak sayang kakak sangat2....kakak dah besar rupenyer......

Finally we safely arrived in Kota Bharu. We could see the water was almost every where through the plane's window. Watch out everybody...! Kota Bharu is sinking.....! Hehehe.....We spent our first night at Kak Lah's since she was the one who was able to fetch us at the airport. Ma and Abah couldn't go anywhere.....the house was surrounded with water. The next day Kakak and family arrived from Singapore. Kak Lah also had to fetch them. After preparing ourselves with suitable suits for the banjir, off we head for Ma's house. We left all of our bags at Kak Lah's since it's almost impossible to get to Ma's house with all the big luggages. Kak Lah and Abe Miji parked their cars at Wakaf Mek Zainab ,the closest and safest spot that they could get. From there we had to walk.......waahhh...so many people! Old, young.... boys, girls....Some were on their way out to the town...some were on their way in, like us....some with childrens and small kids , like us too but I

We were still in Pulau Indah when I heard the news that the flood had come. Instantly I knew that my folks' house back in Kota Bharu was flooded too and when I told the kids, they were so excited and so anxious to be in the water to swim around....splash! Splash! My Ayang had already bought train tickets to Kota Bharu for all of us , of course we took the couch with beds for extra comfort....which was very critical for a 14 hours journey ! Arrgghh....! It's been a while since the last time we were on a train. To make things uncertain, a few days before our scheduled train there were landslides somewhere in Pahang and trains from Kuala Lumpur were stranded half way to Tumpat. Adoilaa......cemaner dengan our train.....boleh jalan ke tak ? We were crossing our fingers and praying hard, hoping for the good news. So the next day off we went to KL Sentral from Port Klang Komuter Station. Travelling with three little active kids and a 24 days young baby was not an easy task. We need

We left Keningau on the 29th of November and it was Kak Aton (and family) who sent us to the airport. Along the journey to KK I was holding myself not to vomit but Sophea and Laila couldn't. They vomitted twice and as usual I always had the plastic bag ready.....for the kids and for me, of course. In the flight the Yasmin was behaving well...and Aina too...she slept all the way. Our first stop was my hubby's kampung in Pulau Indah but since I was still in pantang.....aduhai....so I didn't go anywhere. Betapa tak best nyer balik kampung kalau tak dapat jalan2 especially the shopping part ....aargggghh! - One of the things that I had always looking forward everytime balik kampung. Memang best bab2 ukur shopping complex ni ! My Ayang pong tader ke mana2 sangat since tader transport.....huhuhu.....kesian juga dengan anak2 tak dapat bawak diaorang jalan2. Pusing2 kat pulau ajelah....next time yer kids...? Ayah bawak jalan2 kat jeti pulau....mak pon tak sampai lagi, huhuhu... K

I ain't no saint nor that I'm blind or deaf I can see, hear and feel things around me.... yet I choose not to... I guess, I finally succeed to make myself numb.

Yes.....! I definitely is back. It's really nice to see my PC again....it feels really good to feel the keyboard again....muah3x....hehehe......I have so many stories to tell and so many things to do as well. After leaving the house for almost a month we find dust everywhere. Owhh.....not so comforting. Just finished mopping the floor and rearranged my bedroom furniture. Penat nyerr....! My trip to kampung was a blast ! So many things happened....starting with my journey back to Kelantan which was not so easy.... banjir , my sis engagement.... Hari Raya.....but I'll update my stories later and of course with piccas attached. The kids were the ones who enjoyed the most, including Yasmin! Sweet little Aina was too young to understand. As long as she was full and her sleep was not interrupted she's happy.

It's quater past 3 in the morning and I haven't slept yet....ada a few things lagi yg perlu di settle kan. Ni pon curik2 masa skit utk update blog sebab lepas ni kena bercuti dari blogging...surfing and forumming.....huhuhuhu... My flight is at six thirty in the evening......balik semenanjung ni nanti balik kampung my hubby dulu....pastu baru balik Klate......unfortunately dekat kampung hubby tader internet access so tu yg kena la off duluk......balik Klate nanti barula ada chance untuk sambung balik aktiviti bertenet nih.. Okaylah.....tu jelah ......until we meet again! Chow!

Today, Aina turned 8...8 days....hehehe....and tali pusat Aina pon dah tanggal yesterday. We're also glad to inform that we're going back to kampung this 29th November, finally. After doing a lot of thinking and calculation we decided to change our flight ticket for the sake of Aina and me, of course. Though we had to spend another RM1000 ++ for the tickets (one way tu....! For average people like us...that RM1k is A LOT) but... takpelah, nak balik kampung punyer pasal. Owh...that is not yet included tickets to and fro KB.....arrgghhh! We'll settle that tickets later. Aina has been feeding well... Mak's milk of course (tiada kompromi...hehehe) , she doesn't even had jaundice, thank god. Actually, when she was 4 days young we took her to the clinic to have her blood tested for jaundice and fortunately she was free of it. She's been behaving very good...she only cries when she's hungry or when her diaper is overload, so Mak's routine (blogging and forums

I'm glad to announce that on November16, at 5.25 a.m I had safely delivered a new baby girl - Aina Rihana ....coincidently it was also on the same date as our 7th anniversary. Welcome to the family......! Alhamdulillah.....everything went just fine though I thought this one was kinda susah nak deliver...hehehe....even the placenta took some time to be delivered. Yasmin's reaction? well, she was sooooooo excited to see the baby.....everytime she heard the baby's crying she would get excited too.....she would stay next to the baby whenever I'm breastfeeding her..... I'd like to thank all the nurses at Dewan Bersalin and Maternity Ward of Hospital Keningau.. ..they have been very helpful, supportive and kind. Thanks so much for all the wishes and prayers from friends and relatives......
