* 18 th March 2012 *
..it was the school holiday...and yet, mama had to plan some positive activities for the girls to participate..and lucky for mama that she found out about this one class for moms and kids together in baking cupcakes...yes, that surely sounded interesting..since Arissa also looks like she's interested in this kinda thing..meaning, in cooking..
at first mama thought, just wanted to bring Arissa alone..but knowing Aryana, she surely wants to follow wherever her kakak goes...especially if she knows that the activities are somehow fun to her..so..mama registered both Arissa and Aryana, together with mama in the cupcakes baking and decorating class organized by Laura & Daddy's Macarons ...
the class was conducted at the owner's house..somewhere in Kota Damansara..it was quite easy to find the place, though...and the class started at 11am..and we were the first group to arrive..out of 3 groups..yes it was quite a small group..lucky for us that we get some extra attention compared if they have a big group in the class...
the class started off well...mama is glad to see that Arissa and Aryana enjoyed the class..especially Arissa..because she got to participate in almost all steps in the baking process..and she did well..Aryana also did well..(not to mention about the drama before the class..everyone was a bit tired before the class..so they were a bit grumpy..but luckily when we got to the class...they were okay...)
oohhh well, we also managed to taste "Laura & Daddy's Macarons" red velvet cake (which was super yummy) and their choc cupcakes (the Danias enjoyed the cupcakes very much..memang indulge abis laaa the cupcakes)...
yes..we will surely participate in other classes..if we get the chance, insyallah..mama is trying to find a dish cooking class for the Danias...and the "Laura & Daddy's Macarons" 's owner said that they may organize a cookies baking class someday (which we hope to join)...

( 4th March 2012 )
..marks arissa's first job in acting..haha..as if...
naahhh..not so big as like becoming the next "mia sara" (currently famous child-star)...but it was like arissa's first experience in acting..even so..just for a student's final year project of some sort of a courseware...yes, at least we exposed her to all possible different kinda things that she can get..maybe along the line...she'll know what are her strengths..and in a way..to bulid her confidence..especially when dealing with adults and other people than her parents or relatives...
walaupun, mula-mula tu arissa macam malu-malu and kekok...even the kakak-kakak and the abang-abang pun macam kekok, tak tau macam mana nak treat or attract arissa to loosen down and get warm to them..memang macam kelakar je tengok all the abang-abang, especially the kakak-kakak trying to borak-borak ngan arissa..they even offered her the M&M (currently arissa's fav choc)..awal2 lagi dah di offer chocolate..tapi arissa macam tak termakan dengan all the choc tu..she still malu-malu and senyap je...
but they did continue with the scenes..and it turned out arissa did quite well..mama and papa are so proud of you, arissa..walaupun dengan muka arissa yang sangat serious tu..but we were glad that the kakak and the abang were happy to have their job done..and that we were glad that we got to help them...
here are few pictures throughout the day..which started off at about 10am..and ended almost at 1pm...

..the first star...
here is arissa's first star for the "Dania's Reading Project"...her first book that she read was "the chilly little penguin"..and she did retell the story fairly..though she needs more practise...
----> oohhh by the way, by april 2012, arissa & aryana managed to get their 6 stars, and guess what did they ask for their rewards..? a set of walkie-talkie...hahahaha

:: our little projects with the Danias ::
~~ March 2012 ~~
currently we have 2 ongoing project with the Danias; arissa & aryana..
..the first one is the "Danias Reading Project"...
we just started this one on the 1st March 2012..
--> how it works?
arissa & aryana need to read a book, and then after reading the book, they will each need to retell the story to either mama or papa..once they manage to do all that, they will be awarded with a star sticker...after they get 5 stickers, they will get to buy another book of their choice...
as to date (3/3/12) , arissa nor aryana have no stars yet..actually, arissa did read a book on the day we started the project, but that one tak kira lagi because she didn't get to retell the story..and as tonight, arissa also wanted to read a story, but she was too tired & sleepy, so tak sempat laaa nak baca..and as for aryana, mama n papa tak der laaa nak expect her to read just yet..because aryana pun belum lagi pandai baca...we just put her name in the project, just to get the project looks meriah..but maybe..we can think of something that aryana can do, that can make her get the star stickers...oh, by the way, we have put up some sort of a chart to keep track their readings..and here how it looks like (just a simple one, as a start up)..
..."english @ home" project..
yes! this one we just introduced and started up today (3/3/12)...
--> what is it about?
it's all about english! english! english..we decided to have our own english day (s) -->as we have 2 days in a week that all of us need to speak in english...so..no malay words in the house on the opposed days..as for now, we decided to have Tuesday and Saturday as our english days...the funny thing about when mama told the girls about this one...immediately aryana changed from calling mama with "mama" to "mummy"...and she begitu beriya2 trying to speak in english..which is kinda funny as her vocab is very limited, and we never heard her speaking in english...and as for arissa..she did manage to speak quite ok..but whatever it is..we hope with frequent and regular practises, mama knows arissa & aryana will be able to speak in english confidently...that is what some sort of the aim for this project..insyallah, we hope this project will keep going...

mama's late new year resolution (2012)
yes, this is like mama's late new year resolution...because mama has just started to have it somewhere around march 2012..
---> what is the resolution? <-----
try to complete at least half of the recipes in this book...
so far..mama has done these recipes..
1) brownies coklat & oren..and here is how it looks like...
:: the verdict ::
---> though it might be burnt a bit..but when arissa, aryana (especially) and papa said that it was "sedap"...mama dah rasa cukup seronok..and a bit of "kembang setaman"..especially biler aryana said..."sedap laaa mama"..(with that cute and manja face)..terus mama melt...
2) ayam madu panggang...
:: verdict ::
---> this is like satay ayam..when mama cooked this one...ada one missing ingredient yang mama lupa nak cari..which was the paprika..and mama did some ammendments here and there in terms of adding some other spices like the italian spices..and at the time mama buat this recipe..arissa & aryana masing2 dah sleepy..arissa langsung x rasa..but aryana managed to taste a stick if it je..then she dah sibuk nak tidur..dah mengantuk sangat..and as for papa..his comment was.."the taste is alright, but if we have some sort of gravy, would be nicer"...but since takder gravy..we just ate them with thousand island, cili sos and mayonnaise..
