When I was in my teens, I was a capable drinker. I must have started drinking at 16? Those were the days when I’d sneak out of the house to go clubbing at Faces, Phase 2, Scandals, Brannigans, Modestos……hands up those of you from my era!!! Little did Mom know……*SSsshhhhh*
And then one day, I had a lick of tequila and I was literally under a table at a friend’s parent’s party. How embarrassing!!! It was then that I’d learnt that I was allergic to tequila. I must have been!
At University, I hardly drank simply because there wasn’t any time! If you did architecture at The Bartlett, you will concur. I do remember squatting on a London Street with some friends after an entire bottle of red wine once and another time was when I think my drink got spiked in London. Thank goodness, I was with my bestie Italian friend who brought me straight home and took really good care of me. I will never forget that because I felt SO SICK.
These days, I can take up to ONE glass of whatever, just as long as it isn’t tequila. I don’t do beers.
So really, between the Hubs and I, I’d say HE was the drinker, not I……….which is probably where my alcoholic girls got their genes from when it comes to drinking.
Talk about starting young……
Protect your livers, yo!

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.

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.




I’m totally allergic to alcohol. Clubbing means i see you all drink while I take my juice. SO lame. 😛
Once, some colleagues wouldn’t believe me and urged me to take some sips and I ended up like a bloated red balloon with rashes all over my body at our company annual dinner. How dramatic.
Prior to pregnancy, I can drink so much hubs thought I had Indian blood. 5 years of not drinking turned me into a coke light-only girl.
Prior to getting married, READ uni days, i used to drink quite a bit, and loved it too. Proud to say I could hold my glass, trick is to eat something before and sip sip, don’t go empty stomach like I did during my ad days and vomitted soon after! Memalukan. Now, ppl think my wine bottles are collection, actually it’s just waiting to be opened… no chance!
wow..faces. it’s been a long while. i drank, drove. and well.. never took a sip after that ‘mishap’, ever again. such a foolish person, I was.
