I’m a 50+ mum of three grown daughters, now back in my beautiful hometown of Ipoh and slowly rebuilding a quieter, gentler life. After years between Ipoh and KL, I’ve returned to my roots to spend time with my parents in their 80s, my soul-healing cat, and the simple things that matter most. I blog and vlog about family life, home cooking, Ipoh food finds, and everyday moments that make this season of life meaningful.
I do product reviews and accept sponsored posts on my blogs.
I hope you'll enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy sharing my day-to-day adventures and mostly boring ranting :P
Thanks for being here. 💛

Yesterday evening, Cass insisted on bringing her favorite ‘baby’ with her when I fetched Sherilyn back from the enrichment centre. Her ‘baby’ even shared her safety belt with her in the car. In another year’s time when Cass will be over 6 years old, I know Cass would have probably outgrown her babyish and childish…

The clown of the family is coincidentally also the clumsy pot of the house… since young. She had broken far too many things. This year alone, she had broken both her sisters’ mugs, grandma’s teapot cover and a few nights ago, she finally broke my favorite mug cover from Ikea. When I saw the mug…

With over 1 year of constant nagging and drumming into her head to get ready her school uniform and to lay out her bunch of hair accessories every night, rascal #2 has finally made this a nightly routine. She used to dawdle every morning, by dragging her feet to the cupboard to hunt for her…
