Health Freak Mommy has asked me some very difficult questions, which I have to dig and sort, the chaos within my brain (I do have one, whether it is working or not – debatable) in order to offer some sense. It is quite a jungle up there. But she’s helping me do some positive work, so thank you, HFM, for the prompt.

4 Jobs I’ve Had in My Life?

1. I was a Burger King cleaner in England – the only Asian (so I could eat free BK. The Brit BK tastes like, well, BK. The BK from Malaysia on the other hand, let’s just say……is as good as a 3 day old British BK). Customers who were used to licking grime and ketchup stains off the floor couldn’t believe how I made mirrors of their food premise, so they’d tip me. And getting free pound sterling those student days was like striking a mini lottery. I developed empathy for waitering and cleaning staff of restaurants and fast food joints because being on your legs for a whole 8 hours is no fucking joke. I would clock out at 11pm, walk home, speed shower and collapse into a snore. Every single weekend.
2. Music jingle composer for a TV commercial jingle. A shampoo ad to be exact. It was my first real job after high school as the PA to a musician and my boss, knowing I was musically inclined, allowed me the risk of bringing the Malaysian TVC music to unchartered territories. Of course, I never got any credit for it, but it was pure self satisfaction that the music you’d heard on a TVC was composed by me! Me, me, me. He was also kind enough to record a minus-1 tape for me with my other own musical compositions. Soon after, he sacked me because his less than secure wife was hallucinating that her husband was partying in the office with a young girl, other than her, all day. What did I do after being told I had 1 more week to go? I had sex in his office (not with him). Despite the CCTV cameras.
3. Committee member of various charity organisations, always all women. I purposefully accept these posts, first and foremost, to make a difference and then on the sideline, steal free entertainment. To watch cats fight and pull hair, and observe psychotic felines punch themselves silly with their sensitivity bags, how can that NOT be funny?! MEEEEEEOOOOOOOWWWWWW………..Whatever happened to sisterhood *wink*?
4. PA to a production house that organises fashion shows, amongst others. A far cry from the corporate world, I am doing this because I was partly curious about the realities of the local entertainment industry and it earns me RM500 per show for doing something brainless, like writing out checks and rushing models, ensuring they are where they need to be when they need to be. It is also fun and offers hours of amusement.

4 Countries I Have Been To On Vacation?

1. The Land of Swiss Alps (Switzerland) – Switzerland is EXPENSIVE. And can’t feel your heart thumping cold!!! I dived into 4 feet of snow for the first time (the barely an inch snow in London is not a real experience of snow) and FREAKED!!! Not bringing a spare pair of clothing, I was totally fucked when my jeans were drenched in ice water till my tits, and believe me when I say my nipples swelled to cast iron knobs in 2 milliseconds! I also rode a sled for the first time in my life and was totally unprepared. Not knowing it’d fly down at the speed of a rocket launch and stupid enough not to ask where the brakes were; and then not knowing how to manouver the damn red sled, I metamorphosized into a pig with new wings flung into space for the first time. Snort! Thank goodness there wasn’t a tree within my sled path.
2. The City of Bright Lights and Romance (Paris and other parts of France) – I love Paris and all things French. Except the French. I love French Bread with Brie, I love the French language; the French sense of humour, their ingenious designs of architecture and art, the fashion, the way of life, the air in Paris, the beauty, the memories………..et toi?
3. Poland – see Fact 2 here.
4. Bahrain – see here and here

4 Favourite Food Of Mine? Now, THIS is tough.

1. Durians – which the Hubs and Tee hate with a passion, but bear with me…..almost
2. All things dessert – chocolate, cake and ice cream. And more! Not too sweet, please, or I’d have to get my toes chopped off from diabetes or melt into a dollop of pumpkin honey.
3. All things spicy – the hotter the better. If it doesn’t burn the ass, it doesn’t make the cut.
4. Local hawker food, Italian, English (yeah, believe it or not!), Mexican, Japanese, Brazilian, Middle Eastern, American, Indonesian, Korean, Spanish, Austrian, French, Indian; not in that order. I have a global stomach. What can I say? It’s definitely easier to specify what food I don’t like – Polish.

Part deux demain. (part 2 tomorrow)

Bon nuit. (Good night)

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.
