I can’t believe how time flies! By this weekend, we’ll already be back in KL again. Back to the grind. Bah.
I’m really taking full advantage of my babysitters and maids here in Kota Bharu! Not to mention, I’m also working my ass off. Are you kidding? I’m working but I’ve decided not to kill myself, after all my ‘boss’ has given me permission not to work SO hard. Thank you, Mr Boss. I will start working again when in KL, when the big routine begins.
As soon as we hit my in-laws house, we were greeted with Ama’s famous apple pie, the one T1 loves so much until she cried that she had no more Ama’s apple pie when we returned home from our last trip. Who in the world cries over food?! I don’t know. As much as I love chocolate and coffee, I don’t think I’d actually cry over missing my faves. I might cry over a lost diamond ring…….or the fact that I saw a photograph of my behind taken by T1 recently and I couldn’t tell it was me because it looked like a bouncy castle. Yup, definitely crying right now……
Ama’s Famous Apple Pie – baked with granny apples and corn flakes and a wonderful pastry. YUM.
.
Kuih Bakul? Neen Kow? That gluey, sticky, sweet stuff? I LOVE IT. What more, with absolute FRESH dessicated coconut…….it was Heaven. Sweet, sweet Heaven……
.
T1 pounced on these melting moments that Ama baked but I must say my grandma makes it better. And the reason for this is that Ama does not like the taste of butter, thus she adds a lot LESS butter into these. Shame! They don’t melt in your mouth when there isn’t enough butter.
.
These are T1’s favourite cornflake cookies. They taste just like Frosties – cornflakes and sugar. No wonder.
.
And THIS is my little baby T2 who was just told that she could not have any of the cookies until she had her proper lunch. What’s with the sexy look? Heck, those Mothercare rompers? They just don’t make them so good anymore. It must be the Made in China fabric. Do you have the same problem? All her Mothercare rompers are giving her the sexy look. No, little baby, no. Your low cut days only begin when you’re 35………not 1.5 years old.
We had a simple lunch when we arrived.
Tow Kuah? I don’t know what this is called but it tasted damn good. It’s tofu mixed with prawns deep fried, I’m guessing.
.
Watercress soup with radish and chicken
.
Sambal pomfret baked in banana leaf
.
Sar Po (carp) Fish cooked with Chinese mushrooms, ginger, vegetables.
.
And this is my little baby T2 after she was promised that she could have not only the cookies after lunch but CHOCOLATE. Oh my God. That low cut romper is really an eye sore, isn’t it? She doesn’t even have tits!
**************************************************************************Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.
Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.
She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.
A beautiful life without limits.
If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.
Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.
Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
