Hong Kong Shangri-La Coffee House – we woke up at 5.30am for the flight. We arrived at 4pm at the Coffee House, too exhausted to hunt anywhere else for food. A bowl of wanton noodles cost RM90 !!! Ok it had 6 huge prawn wantons with the juiciest, bouncy prawns. But still……Our total bill came up to just under RM1000 and I regretted like hell ordering roast duck, coffee and Tee’s black cup of warm milk. Because all that money could have gone to SHOPPING!!!!
Whilst showing my Father in Law (FIL) the just under 600 photos we took from Hong Kong (he just arrived yesterday from Kelantan), he got bored before we even got to photo #20. OK I don’t expect him to view all 600 of them but doesn’t he at least want to see one photo of each location? My Mother is the same. She looks at 20-30 shots and it gets too overwhelming. I guess it’s the same for everyone if it isn’t your OWN photos, what more of your OWN child.
I view photos differently though. I look first at the story of the photograph. Then at the composition, if the subject is centred, not centred, the clarity and sharpness, the colour, the lack of colour, the little details in the background, wonder about the moment, ponder about the subject’s expressions (even if it is a building), get into the photographer’s head (although most people just shoot blindly), assess the point of interest of the shot and so. It takes me forever to look at photographs while I critique every snapshot of art. I suppose this is owing to a design background. But I was doing this since I was a child! When I’d visit places, I’d take in the smells, the sounds, the details. It’s all in the details.
Hong Kong pics up soon!
**************************************************************************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.
