Tonight, it is 12.24pm and I have not showered. I have spent the last 8 hours working. I do not work every day. I work once a week usually. In fact, most days I am enjoying life playing with my kids or reading or exercising, or plain chatting with friends talking cock and singing songs, and of course, posting on Facebook (my absolute FAVOURITE past time) and well, blogging. I could do so much more but I am the laziest ass around. I don’t even go out to socialise. I am kind of allergic to people. I get media invites which I have to politely decline. I must always remember that I am a heart patient and it has to be ME FIRST.
On top of revelling in my glory of happiness, I have been helping several people with financial challenges and am always the first to say yes as it is a bad habit. My bad habit. I have never needed much. Thus believe that everything I have in access, I can give. However, of late, I went overboard and the Hubs went a bit crazy. He said, “…..even people who earn millions don’t give like this!!! Will any of these people be there for you when you need help? You never know when your heart surgery will be and that could cost a few hundred k right there!!” He was not happy. After all, this is all money that we never had before and so, whatever he makes should be for us and us only. Whatever I make rightfully, I should be able to give away SHOULD I WISH!!!
But you know, he has a point. Charity begins at home. And right now I have an Angel of a friend who keeps reminding me of that fact. She has forced me to pledge that for the month of August, I am to save RM 50,000. August will be MY MONTH. Everything in access, I can give away. But the goal is to put away RM50,000. Guess I can give RM30,000 away!!! That is sure as hell better than giving RM50,000 away. Even though I have zero expectations from all these people whom I give to, the Hubs does not feel the same. So we continue to have this battle for charity. It has been like this for the last 5 years. But my friend says, because AUGUST IS MY MONTH, I will save. And the plan is to go for a girlie holiday to Paris Business Class and stay in a nice hotel and shop silly till I am all Chanel-ed out. The other driver is that this holiday cannot happen if I do not lose weight and look fabulous. Hahahahaha. Otherwise all the holiday photos will be wasted!!!
So I told the Hubs very gently this evening, that I am planning a girlie holiday next year to Paris. His first words were, “Why can’t we come along??? We will come along. I will stay with the girls. You go off with your girls and we won’t disturb you.” Hahahahaha. Fish! So much for a girlie holiday, man!!! Perhaps I have to do this girlie holiday in Korea instead!!! I am sure he will not want to go to Korea. Maybe I can get a nose job in the process.
Said Angel has suggested that I start moving money to Singapore to buy shares there. Check.
Holidays to Bangkok to see the dog (my kids’ cousin) – Check.
Holiday to Hong Kong to visit Cinderella’s Castle – Check.
Holiday to Niseko for Round 2 Skiing – Check.
Where should we go next year? Still on our TO DO LIST, we have a trip to Europe to visit Godma Jamie’s new home and cuddle her new baby! We have to go to the States to stay at Aunty Cheng’s new home with the swimming pool. Kids are just dying to do that because all they care about is swimming every single day. I still have dreams of caravanning in seemingly boring New Zealand but I feel that it should be experienced and perhaps make a trip to the glaciers. We cannot do it all in a year most likely due to school holidays but we shall sure TRY!!!
Ok, back to reading my book now – John Grisham’s Rogue Lawyer.
Want a sweet life? Join my team and work your ass off like I did. Only for a year. Follow every step I made. You cannot be me, but you could get there in double or triple time. Why not? It will be worth it. For retirement. Why not indeed.
**************************************************************************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.
