Ochada @ Tokyo Street, Pavillion KL

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. 💛

Our 2nd Day of 2012
Posted on
We spent our second day of the new year at Pavillion today. After lunch at a Japanese fast food restaurant (can’t recall the name), we lingered around at Tokyo Street before shopping at Daiso. The hubs who likes Japanese food and snacks patronized many of the shops selling Japanese snacks from Kindori ice cream to…
Tons of Patience
Posted on
Of my 3 girls, I think Cassandra has the most patience or should I say, she has the longest attention span in whatever she does. She also has nimble fingers and likes fixing things like jig saw puzzles, building stuff with Lego blocks and today I found out that she is also a handy-girl! Just…

Just got back from a 3-day 2-nite trip in Malacca. I think that will be our last time traveling to Malacca during peak period. It is now the school holidays, Xmas + year end holiday for many locals as well as for many overseas tourists. The whole of Malacca town was jam packed. People were…
Our X’mas Eve 2011

Our family centers on food and gatherings to celebrate just about any occasion. There’s no other better way to make my man very merry than through very good food! For the first time, my foodie hubs roasted a big fat stuffed turkey for us. Since it was his very first time, he had to watch…
To Borders Again!
Posted on
Our shopping spree will never be complete without visiting the book store and leaving the store with a few books. Books are something that I don’t mind investing in. I have 3 girls. They can take turns to read and even when the youngest has finished reading them in future, I can sell them or…

Throes of Being A WFHM
Posted on
During the school holidays, my blood pressure is often higher. Being cooped up at home with the kids 24/7 is NOT fun… especially for a work-from-home-mum. I get pressure from all corners all the time – from some very demanding and fussy customers, from suppliers, from the kids, personal/family matters and from the helper. Many…

A Special Attachment To My Boobies
Posted on
After over 2.5 years of seeking comfort and satisfaction from hunger pangs from my boobies, my 3.5YO baby girl is still not completely over and done with with my boobies. Unlike Alycia and Sherilyn who were pretty easily weaned off and forgotten with my boobies, my baby girl is still missing her comfort tools though…

Alycia’s 8th Birthday Celebration
Posted on
When we asked Alycia what cake she would like to have for her birthday this year, she told us that she didn’t want any cake! This girl can be pretty practical at times. She knew that our birthday cakes are often unfinished and though after giving part of the cake away, we would still end…
