Gender War

Author: Shireen
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. 💛

Lunch At Tapas Bistro & Bar @ Micasa All Suite Hotel, KL
Posted on
After Alycia’s appointment with the orthodontist near KLCC on Saturday, we were hunting for a decent place to have something light. Alycia and Cass suggested sandwiches, so daddy stopped by a few places to check out and in the end, we settled for Tapas Bistro & Bar @ Micasa All Suite Hotel. That was our…
Joys And Throes Of Motherhood

After splitting our hairs trying to find a 63cm x 63cm space to fit in a dishwasher into our shoe-sized kitchen, our conclusion is that the kitchen has no space. There is an empty space in the dry kitchen, but that would mean lots of hacking and sacrificing 2 kitchen cabinets… and more $$, on…

Little Fashionista

The little fashionista in her new girly GAP denim jacket from my online store. Stylo moe? She’s such a vain pot, changing cardigans and jackets every 2 days! Sometimes I disallow her as those thick jackets take days to dry after each wash in the machine but she will secretly sneak it into her bag!…

The Eve Of The Girls’ Final Exam

On the eve of Alycia and Sherilyn’s exam, we had a pretty relaxing Sunday. We had lunch at Antipodean @ Menara Tan & Tan. While waiting for the food to arrive, Alycia and Sherilyn worked on their workbooks. Monkey see monkey do — Cass also kept herself busy by writing pages of her Chinese name…

Surprise For The Girls

It was a day of revision for the girls on Saturday. They are sitting for their final exam starting today for a whole school week. After all the monotonous book stuff, which tired and bored them to the bones (that’s always the case when it comes to pre-exam revision), a surprise unfolded when the door…
Eventful Tooth Shedding Moments
Posted on
The tooth fairy visited Sherilyn the 4th time last week and in the usual hilariously fashionable way, just like the previous three times as all were eventful and equally hilarious. I can remember vividly how her teeth came off the previous three times. For the very first tooth, she cried and whined in discomfort for…

I love shopping at 100 Yen Shop. After dropping off rascal #2 at the ballet school, I can spend over an hour at 100 Yen Shop browsing the range of amazing yet affordable products. Last Saturday, I found this magic microfiber mop that I have been wanting to get ever since my role now includes…
My Heart Shattered Into A Million Pieces…

… yesterday afternoon when I saw Alycia’s badly grazed knee and palm. The moment Alycia and Sherilyn came back from school, Sherilyn was quick to announce “mummy, che che’s knee has BLOOD! She fell down!” I rushed out from the kitchen to inspect Alycia’s knee and when I saw the fresh wound on her knee,…
