My girls love the kampung because Kong-Kong has such a big garden that they just go crazy in it. They don’t need toys, they don’t need electronics and just take every opportunity to run out into the garden to just run around and do nothing! For that, the Hubs and I do entertain thoughts on moving to Kota Bharu entirely and getting out of polluted KL, getting out of the pretentiousness that comes with KL society and leaving all the money behind. Life would be so much simpler in KB.
Some of the things the girls did over the Chinese New Year holidays in Kota Bharu:-
Water Plants
.
Cycling
.
Getting a ride
.
Enjoying wide space
.
Playing play dough when I disallowed them to go out when it was too hot
.
Paint with Amah’s home grown vegetables – oh, yes!
.
Drew on concrete with chalk – just look at this princess! She gets her drink held for her whilst she draws. I would have just told her to stuff it!
.
We had sprint races where I always won. Give chance? Not a chance, what in the world for?!
.
They got to see real frogs. Big frogs too! Hello? Please kiss me and I might turn into a Prince……
.
Hop around in their Cheong Sams……
.
Only 3 weeks before we are back in Kota Bharu again for Cheng Beng. Yay!
Am I busy? You bloody bet.
**************************************************************************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.












i think that’s a photo of a TOAD, not a frog.
I just love your inlaw’s beautiful house and the well maintained garden. How do they maintain that house at that age?
lovely! the photo of the frog made me smile. never seen such a fat one before 😛
I’d love to go to your in law’s huge mansion!! So much to see and do and eat too! Still remember those juicy fruits 🙂
That’s a really huge compound – even I would love to be there to run/cycle around.
OMG, you’re so brave to take a photo of that bullfrog! I would have freaked out…
Love T2’s girlieness – she’s very much like my little girl and just as spoilt by her daddy too 🙂
