Hairy baby

Posted on November 19, 2009November 17, 2009 by Mamapumpkin
Tee (3.5 months old) and Nana (2004) - JUST LOOK AT HER HAIR!!! You have no idea how much psychology is needed in convincing a hairy baby that she is just as beautiful as all those bald little children over there. Honestly, if you've had a hairy child,.......click to learn what next.

Did God feed babies milk?

Posted on November 18, 2009November 17, 2009 by Mamapumpkin
It was going to happen sooner or later. Tee asks the most difficult questions and she is so analytical that your answers really have to make sense. Otherwise, be prepared to get asked over and over till she's satisfied. She needs to understand. Anyway, she asked how people.......click to learn what next.

Tee’s Annual Concert

Posted on November 14, 2009November 13, 2009 by Mamapumpkin
Last weekend, we attended Tee's 3rd annual concert and I must say it was the best concert we'd been to, out of the 3 various schools that she's attended. The reason I say so is because, for the 1st time, the concert was held at a proper venue.......click to learn what next.

Fisher Price Newborn/Toddler Bouncer

I recently read that this Mom with 3 kids is looking for a 2nd hand bouncer like this and must admit that I felt a pang of guilt that we had it. And boy, did we have it easy! You see, our Nana travels quite a bit and.......click to learn what next.

How to make a BAT costume

Posted on November 9, 2009November 7, 2009 by Mamapumpkin
If you're ever needing a cost effective costume, this would be it. We got two of Tee's A2 art block and tore off the backing cardboard, searched the internet to check what bat wings looked like, then drew a sample onto the cardboard, cut it out with a.......click to learn what next.

Childhood Ambitions

Posted on November 9, 2009November 9, 2009 by Mamapumpkin
We were driving to dinner last night and teaching Tee what the difference was between a bungalow house, a link house, a town house, an apartment etc. because she was curious and always asks a million and one questions whenever she eavesdrops on our adult conversations.

Flying BAT on Halloween

Posted on November 8, 2009October 31, 2011 by Mamapumpkin
This Halloween, T1 said she wanted to be a BAT. Not Batman, not Batgirl, just a plain old simple BAT. The one that lives upside down in caves and eat fruit. OK!! I thought it was a wonderful idea and very original indeed, and before my brain could.......click to learn what next.

Princess of the day

On Tee's birthday this year, she was naturally princess of the day. So much so that every member of her family was at her beck and call. She had a whole birthday crew including the paparazzi following her everywhere to fulfill her every wish. #1 - Her Personal.......click to learn what next.

Sisterly LOVE – then and now

I've always wanted a sister. Tee is so lucky she has a sister. And T2 is so lucky to have a sister like Tee. T2 at 2 weeks old. T2 needed some getting used to her sister's rough handling. Hahaha.... T2 at 11 weeks old. T2 is beginning.......click to learn what next.

The winning gown

And the winning guesser is......Chin Nee!!! The winning gown that we brought home as we thought it most elegant. It really is beautiful and very classy but not captured in bad lighting with a point and shoot obviously. I love it on her. She'd pass as a bride.......click to learn what next.

Selecting a gown

A present from T2

On the day T2 was born, Tee received a special parcel from the hospital nurse. She quickly opened the card to see who it was from and started reading it. Look at her smiles as she reads the very long winded card with Uncle Ben looking on. She.......click to learn what next.

Price of Nintendo DS Lite in KL

For the last month, Tee has been praying to God asking him to get Santa to get her a DS Lite, exactly like the one her boyfriend has and it has to be white colour, not pink. No way. Make sure it's white, ok? I truly wonder if.......click to learn what next.

Doing the Mommy Test

Whilst driving to Nana's house today, Tee was about to ask me a question and then changed her mind. I asked her what it was but she said nevermind, she'd ask Daddy that evening as he would know better. HUH?!!! I urged her to ask me just to.......click to learn what next.

Squeeze your thighs together!

This morning when I woke up, I noticed that Tee was walking around with her legs tight closed. Then I saw a blue egg (egg shaker) in between her upper thighs right below her crotch. Wondering what that cheeky monkey was up to, I was about to ask.......click to learn what next.

Because the bloody baby interrupted me! Anyway, here's some old headers that some of you may remember. Which is your favourite? Psst....would you like to know how I got my Mommy into this state?

Can anybody guess who that is????? C'mon......3 guesses.......

Organising a playgroup at your home

The Hubs has a mini heart attack every time I tell him that we are having a playgroup at home. This is because he is an anally retentive clean and neat freak. He faints at every stain on the couch and needs an ambulance the moment anything is.......click to learn what next.

Doing things differently

Tee, my daughter of five years old, ever since she was 18 months old and possibly even earlier except that my memory doesn't stretch that far, has always done things differently. She is a little rebel that will do just the opposite of what you tell her to.......click to learn what next.

Why some people talk a lot

Posted on October 12, 2009 by Mamapumpkin
I am writing this post right now because Tee is irritating the shit out of me by talking NON STOP and I just cannot understand why she cannot just SHUT UP for 5 minutes. She talks like a loose cannon blabbing away, always with something to say, even.......click to learn what next.

An enchanted weekend – finale

Posted on October 11, 2009October 7, 2009 by Mamapumpkin
When Princess Tee finally got dragged into the actual party, she realised that initially, the princesses and the princes were separated into two different circles. This made her yearn to be in the boys circle, of course, and although a game of pass the parcel was going on,.......click to learn what next.

Looking For Something?

CHANGING THE WORLD MOVEMENT

I love green

Once upon a time, she designed buildings and interiors of corporate offices and on the rare occasion, homes. Now, she cleans poop and is student of a patience management course. From the drawing board as a London Architect to the realities of Motherhood, she has certainly learned many lessons in humility. And then others…..

To succeed in the corporate world, first succeed with your kid as the happy boss. Seriously.

I love green

This blog is about Mamapumpkin: A strong, kick-ass Mom who works full time juggling several jobs – the full-time paid job, the raising of her 2 kids (she gets paid in kind for this) and the volunteering job for various charity organisations and parenting websites. Needless to say, she gets very little sleep (3-5 hours per day, Margaret Thatcher who used to sleep 4 hours per day during her conservative career inspires this crazy lifestyle).

Mamapumpkin intends to change the working Mom landscape in Malaysia where working women can bring their children to the corporate office of a client and not be frowned upon.

I love green

 

She writes about anything that comes out of her head but mostly seeks to inspire and share about all things that will bring benefits to others.

Her 2 girls drive her towards challenge after challenge, 24/7…..day after day…..and interestingly, her parents are Muslim, her in-laws Buddhist, she’s Catholic and her Hubs, an Atheist. She’s thinking her kids should be Hindu, just to complete the rainbow religion cycle.

Gotta love it.

She’d love to hear from you : Mamapumpkin at gmail dot com
