My lil’ vain pot checking her face out after make up before going out for a party. 🙂

The treadmill has arrived. I can’t believe we never invested in it before! I promise you, in a year’s time, I will still be here pledging that I have been on it on a regular basis. Now, we need to start calling some friends in to charge gym fees to help pay for it :-). Tee loves it. On Day One, she was on it for 20 minutes at 5 minute intervals throughout the day. That night, she passed out at 7.30pm and slept straight through till 7.30am the next morning. Imagine five whole hours without a kid in sight, no little voice making requests, aahhhh……….I LOVE my treadmill.

The next day, she begged for it again but I didn’t have time to watch her so she didn’t get her exercise fix. It’s such a great example to a toddler – exercise. And I really admire her enthusiasm to exercise. 🙂

I still don’t have any photos of Blondie because the cut only goes with shades, and my sunglasses are in the car. It’s a timing issue that will get sorted in time. I’ve had mixed reactions. Some people say they love it and that it suits me, some people say they cannot get used to it. I’m 50-50. I know it would be perfect if I was 20 kilos lighter but at present weight, I look like a younger Datin – yuck.

Meanwhile, the Hubs has been sending lil’ Tee to school everyday ever since we discovered that she didn’t get over emotional when HE sent her. She is ever so happy to leave him for school and runs off without a kiss and hug for him, leaving HIM the emotional wreck, the love-sick puppy. As for me, I can bask in my solitude at home either sleeping in till noon or do whatever the hell I wanted to do. I have never had a lie in though because, heck, if I have all this ‘alone’ time, I’m bloody well going to make full use of it. Every single second counts!

What’s up with the weather these days? Does anyone know when this rainy season ends?

We went to the Shang last Sunday hoping to eat at Lemon Garden where the clown is but it was full. Completely full and sounded noisier than the Bangsar and Taman Tun wet market. So we had Tim Sum instead, also pretty packed and lousy service. Not the same old Shang service that we were used to 10-15 years ago. If I ever had a business, great service would be so drilled into the staff that they’d be confused if it was service they were selling or the product.

I’m rambling on, aren’t I?

Tee has told me that when I get a maid, she has to be an English speaking maid. And I cannot go to work all the time, only sometimes. Oh, and I’ve just only discovered that the best way to calm a whiny toddler is to have a super creative brain that is fast enough to come up with ideas to distract her. Yes, that is definitely the way to go with Tee. I’ve got to write a book now – 500 ways to trick a toddler into the bath.

Toodles!

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.
