Ladies (and Gentlemen), please do be very careful of your belongings and kids, not only in the more popular shopping malls but EVERYWHERE.

Last Saturday (8pm, 31st July), a friend of mine got her handbag stolen in the parking lot of Bangsar Village Old Wing. CCTV cameras clearly showed her handbag hanging on a shopping trolley all around the shopping mall but once she hit the parking lot, BV’s CCTV cameras no longer supported the security of her handbag, which is why they have 2 security guards stalking the area. However, it is obviously insufficient as otherwise her bag wouldn’t have been stolen. We have no idea how it happened but in her busyness of loading her car up with stuff, a very quick passer by must have casually picked her handbag up on the way.

She didn’t mind losing her cash and valuables but her heart aches that all her daughter’s 1st birthday photos were in that bag (she was loading up the car just after the party) and all other memories of her kids, captured on 2 I-Phones within the bag. *sad*

We go to BV a lot. Lots of Mommies and Babies go to BV a lot. It is no longer fun if we cannot even feel safe at our own neighbourhood mall. We are urging the management to step up security this week. I will keep you posted.

Updates – I managed to get some contacts for my friend to look further into the BV theft issue and it turns out that her handbag was stolen RIGHT OUTSIDE GYMBOREE (after a Gymboree birthday party). By a LADY!!!! Yes, this lady works together with 3 other men, loitering around BV searching for easy targets. BE VERY ALERT. They are extremely slick.

My friend was busy chatting to other Moms, thanking them for attending the party, and a lady passed by and just lifted her handbag off the trolley when nobody was really paying any attention. We were all leaving and this lady did it right in front of everyone, as though she blended in to be one of us, then casually slipped out coolly. The 3 men were on guard. They looked South American from blurred cameras.
You have been warned.

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.
