Whenever I ask the many foreigners that have moved to Malaysia for good why they love it here, the word FOOD usually bungee jumps out of their mouths. The weather comes a close second but FOOD is always a compelling reason to live in this land of the greatest variety of food. Really.

In Malaysia, you can get the food of almost all the world (nevermind their authenticity) but the food that belongs to Malaysia alone, is more than enough to satisfy the majority of food lover’s middles.

This is because….Malaysia is home to Indians, Chinese, Malays (indigenous to Malaysia) and ‘dan lain-lain’ (the rest – comprising Eurasians, Nyonyas and Chindians). And because of this, we already get a world of truly authentic culinaries fit for palatial foodaholics.

It is also through food that the many races come together in Malaysia. Nowhere else in the world do you witness such honest togetherness between the many races at such a grand scale. Ignore the media, they need the news.

Here, Indians and Chinese travel miles to visit the kampungs of Malays during Hari Raya. At Deepavali, the Muslims and Chinese jubilantly join the Indians. During the Chinese New Year, the Malays and Indians celebrate in harmony with the Chinese. At Christmas, the same thing happens. The colour of skin and believe me, we have so many tones from white to black and in between, only adds joyful merriment to any party. It is true Malaysian custom to host an ‘open house’ during the festivities which means that you cook lots and lots of food and have your house OPEN to anyone.

ANYONE.

I, for one, love food as you can tell from my size. And only in Malaysia will I be happy teasing my own palate with the colours and flavours of Malaysian food. Only in Malaysia.

I end this with T garbed in traditional Malay dress, the baju kurung – another thing we Malaysians share, in the blending of races, putting ourselves in our friendly neighbours shoes. With delight.

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.
