Google and their page rank business

Posted on November 16, 2007November 16, 2007 by Mamapumpkin
Hahahaha.......last week, my PR was 3. Yesterday it was 2. Today it is 0. Funilly though, my old blog that has nothing in it, has shot up to 4. I think Google is just playing with the bloggers. They want google buzz for business expansion. They're pitching some.......click to learn what next.

Our day

Posted on November 16, 2007 by Mamapumpkin
My little munchkin didn't want to go home after school as usual. It was as though she knew that it was the end of term at school and wanted to party like no tomorrow. We had lunch at BSC and then I took her to Times Book Store.......click to learn what next.

Baby Ballet

Posted on November 15, 2007November 15, 2007 by Mamapumpkin
Tee attended her first baby ballet class today. For the clumsy gangster that she is, she actually performed quite well. The class started off with some songs and hand actions. Extremely lady-like and graceful ones....very unlike us, I should say. So she learnt a new version of Twinkle.......click to learn what next.

Concrete flooring in retail space

Posted on November 15, 2007April 30, 2009 by Mamapumpkin
When I was designing my friend's new baby shop, she had requested for concrete flooring just like those garage floors we see everyday but little did she know that maintenance of this type of flooring is high internally and furthermore, it is not cheap. Plus they can also.......click to learn what next.

My kind of rock chick

Yo! When you first see her, you'd think she was another young wannabe but this girl has got real talent. Go check her out on You Tube. Better still, go see her live! I like watching her because she reminds me so much of my youth. Carefree, loving.......click to learn what next.

Can you please answer my question?

Posted on November 15, 2007 by Mamapumpkin
Guys, I had a problem the other day and wanted your feedback. Could you please share what you would have done since many of you are more experienced with this and may have actually gone through it already. Thank you *wink*

Posting is a waste of my time

Posted on November 14, 2007 by Mamapumpkin
With limited broadband connection that keeps dropping off like a moody PMS-ing bitch, I keep losing my written posts every five minutes. UNSAVED. Is it even worth it? I should just shut down and go to bed right now.

Getting more loans to pay for my dream home

Getting reported for child abuse

This evening, my little munchkin said she wanted to go out kai-kai. It's becoming a real habit of hers not wanting to stay home. My only saving grace is that since she goes out so much now, she'll actually want to stay home when she's a teenager with.......click to learn what next.

I kicked buckets last night

And overturned tables...... And broke three cups..... And smashed my sanity! TM Streamyx was coming on and off intermitently and after writing a four hundred word post, it wasn't automatically saved because the line had dropped. What the fuck!

I’ve survived TWO WHOLE DAYS without Streamyx

Posted on November 14, 2007 by Mamapumpkin
Streamyx is our national broadband service here in Malaysia. I pay RM88 per month for unlimited use, for a 1.0 Mb connection (which I think is the max they have). And for two days......TWO WHOLE DAYS........that's forty eight hours.......FORTY EIGHT HOURS.......without broadband. OK, so I'm no posting every.......click to learn what next.

Upset with the weakening of the US dollar

Posted on November 13, 2007 by Mamapumpkin
Now that I am earning in US dollars, I am really disheartened that the US dollar is only equivalent to RM3.32. Which means I have to work harder in order to reach my targets in RM. I am looking for blog agents that will pay in pound sterling,.......click to learn what next.

Getting caught in a rut

Tee’s leafy exploration

So we did it. I was planning to do it AFTER lunch but little Missy could not wait. After slathering a few bottles of mozzie repellant and sunblock, we skipped out with a basket, a sunhat, and my sleepiness, in search of leaves. *yawn* Tee leading the way.......click to learn what next.

When the Hubs and I were courting, I'd mentioned seriously to him that if he wasn't serious about me, I'd seriously consider taking a hike. And I was dead serious. If you weren't serious, I'd seriously advise that you don't follow this seriously dangerous approach. Very soon after,.......click to learn what next.

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
