Kuala Lumpur, Sunday – A mother of two checked herself into the psychiatric ward of Beach Hospital here today with complaints of midnight hallucinations. Below is a personal statement from Big Pumpkin (35) taken today at the Brickfields Police Station where she begged Chief Superintendant, Encik Peenus Haj to arrest her kids, Tee (3) and the Hubs (38) forever the night.
“This weekend, I worked really, really hard. I achieved my 30 post blog marathon, completed my design work for the week, wrote my assignments, continued being a mother, and still managed to have a shower. I was so looking forward to Tee hitting the Zzz button so I could flop when she finally did. Alas, the moment of rejoicement came, but suddenly I wasn’t tired anymore. Despite having only three hours sleep the previous night, the devil in me whispered,
“She slept early tonight. It means you have five whole hours to yourself before midnight. Who sleeps before midnight anyway?”
Then my angel saint coaxed gently,
“Your cells have already flopped into hibernation. Your brain was on overdrive. Get some rest.”
“How often do you get FIVE whole hours to yourself!!!? Let’s party!!!” shook the devil.
“You have a full day tomorrow and don’t forget, there is still work to be done……be sensible” the angel saint said calmly.
So after this, my body gave in to the civilised debacle and I managed to hold my eyelids open with toothpicks till 1.30am. Let’s calculate…..that’s 3 hours sleep in 41 hours. My record was no sleep for 72 hours, not a wink. But I shan’t be attempting that again. Ever.
Off I spiralled into an adventure of dreams…..first, the knights in the forest; then driving up Beverly Hills in my new car, then Jon Bon Jovi telling me how sexy I am (*swoon* I’m fanning myself here); then laughing about it with my girlfriends, in detail; then…….
I felt this blob climb over me and thought I heard a teeny voice. The blob was already at the edge of my bed when I was sure I heard it say, “Mummy, I’m going to shi-shi.” Worried that she was going to sleepwalk to the bathroom on her own dangerously, I forced myself out of bed to guide her there. At that point, I still wasn’t sure if I was dreaming.
We walked together in the dark towards the bathroom and pushed open it’s door when I jumped out of my skin because a big, dark shadow jumped out at me.
“For fucks sake, can’t you poop like NORMAL people??!!!” I grouched to the Hubs when I saw that it was 4am. Four fucking Ey-Am and he was sitting on the throne like it was the most natural thing in the world. Like eating cake, or cuddling with Tee. For an instance, I’d thought it was a school morning and that it was time to wake up and I thought, Fuck. My intestines are still asleep. I was so inebriated with adrenalin and tiredness that I just left Tee there with him to sort out. I had no more recollection after slumping my heavy body back onto my sleep charger.
ZZZZzzzzzzzzz…………
TWO hours later, I was awoken by again a teeny voice asking for water. I looked over at the Hubs who was either pretending to snore to avoid potential toddler work, or seriously had Thomas trains chugging booger out of his nostrils.
“Mummy, I’m thirsty…” the teeny voice pleaded.
“Can’t you wait till morning?”
“No, I’m weally thirsty now….”
So I got my fat ass out of bed, AGAIN! And poured whatever was left in our jar in the bedroom. And firmly told her to GO BACK TO SLEEP.
What’s up, people? I thought that after working so hard, I’d deserved the sleep trophy. But nay. Instead, they kick me and brutalise my limp body, then vibrate my ears till they’ve gone moldy. And make me cross borders that I’m not willing to even touch. They’re abusing me!
So that’s why they’re here, Officer. Please take them. PLEASE!!! PLEASE….WAH!!!” *sinks to the ground with flailing arms*”

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.
