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. 💛

She hardly reads Chinese and BM novels. She barely ever talks in BM, does not attend BM tuition and the only practice…

Someone made my blood boil today, till I felt steam spewing out from my nostrils! This girl is driving me insane with her daily dawdling and lackadaisical attitude towards punctuality, among other things. Having the ‘privilege’ to attend school in the afternoon session has definitely made her a lounger. And going to a school that’s…

I love colorful meals cooked using only naturally colored ingredients. I love colorful clothes too. I just love anything that’s colorful as it makes my life more colorful!

Today is my baby girl’s first double digit birthday! Her 10th birthday! We’ve already had a first round of celebration with her on Saturday night and tonight will be another round of celebration. As tomorrow is a school-going day, we’re going to have dinner at our neighborhood Chinese restaurant. Someone is a tad reluctant to…
Grocery Bill

It’s been a while since I last posted about what’s in my daily groceries shopping cart! Being a health freak mom who believes in eating natural and organic food with minimal to zero processed food, our monthly grocery bills exceed RM2,000 per month. If we can afford going fully organic, our grocery bill will be…

This morning, Alycia’s transporter left her behind when he came to the condo to pick up another student. Maybe the driver was a minute or two earlier today and he didn’t even have the courtesy to give us a call to inform us that he was here. How dare he! Thankfully Cass’ transporter came and…

Lunch today was just me with Drama Queen and Cass. Alycia accompanied her grandma to Sunway Medical Center (SYMC) for a medical check up. As a reward for accompanying grandma, she got a treat of Starbucks sandwiches and coffee for breakfast and McD burger for lunch from grandma! The girls love going to SYMC because…
