1. The only public form of transport is expensive taxi. A 5 kilometre journey costs RM50.

2. There are no pedestrian pavements and even if there were, I wouldn’t be caught dead walking on them with maniacal drivers on the loose.

3. Apartments are costly and it doesn’t get any cheaper the further out you go. You can either afford it, or not.

4. Food is very expensive. But so are the portions – an order of chicken bryani rice costs RM50 but with it came 5 fistfuls of chicken (my fists) and 4 metric cups of heavily spiced rice that could have fed me for a week.

5. The views are like what you see in brochures of Dubai – lots of clear blue skies, clear turquoise seas & clear glass on every building.

6. There is nothing for kids entertainment during the winter apart from shopping mall amusement parks and summer only starts in April.

7. Bahraini women are covered from head to toe but carry luxurious designer handbags and shoes.

8. Bahraini men are decked in long white robes and what resembles table cloth on their heads.

9. The temperature is January was 5-10 degrees Celsius, with this year being their coldest winter ever.

10. Everyone speaks superb English.

11. There is a huge population of Filipinos & India Indians in Bahrain working in the services industry.

12. Most people in Bahrain are men. The women are usually at the shopping malls. Only.

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.
