Istana Budaya, Jalan Tun Razak

We pass this building every few times a week whenever we return home from town but have never ventured in till this last weekend when T1 and I spent a special night out together watching the latest musical in town. It looks so grand from the outside but.......click to learn what next.

Godiva Hot Cocoa

OH. MY. GAWD. It is fucking awesome. And I am so addicted to it. You can really, REALLY taste the chocolate. And it isn't overly sweet. OH. MY. GOD. The problem is, it costs more than RM100 per can. Yet, I've just checked and it costs only USD11.......click to learn what next.

Blackberry Bold 9000 with condom

Posted on April 14, 2010 by Mamapumpkin
Yes, mine wears one. Gotta be safe! I'm still loving my phone. In fact, I just discovered last night that I could download some applications which I couldn't before and spent half an hour downloading the traffic jam game so Tee can play when I feel she is.......click to learn what next.

Now Everyone Can Fly……

Posted on February 17, 2010February 17, 2010 by Mamapumpkin
.....LATE AS USUAL!!! (is what TF left out in his tagline!) We didn't fly Air Asia this time but took MAS instead and were pleasantly surprised and happy with MAS this time round. Truth be told, I don't have a favourite. It's almost like a Celcom-Maxis war. They're.......click to learn what next.

Nine West wedges

I bought this gorgeously comfortable pair of wedges in November from Lot 10 whilst Tee was having her piano concert rehearsal that day. So much for being an impulse shopper. I loved it because it was quite unique in that the leather straps that went across the front.......click to learn what next.

4 month baby with phlegmy cough

Posted on December 27, 2009December 31, 2009 by Mamapumpkin
T2 fell ill 3 weeks ago with a dry cough which quickly turned into a wet cough and then a cough with a runny nose. No fever, thank God! So much for an exclusively breast fed baby. Totally over-rated. I saw the Doctor 3 times. Because each time.......click to learn what next.

Tis the end of the year where I do a lot of planning.....like planning next years holidays. We opted out of our annual Chiangmai trip this year because the Hubs wasn't keen on traveling with T2 so young. I really wish we were going though because T2 has.......click to learn what next.

Blackberry Bold 9000

Posted on November 8, 2009 by Mamapumpkin
Or Blackberry Curve? What's the difference? Apart from the price, of course. I want a phone that can organise my life and can surf the net well because I do a helluva lot of surfing in the wee hours of the morning whilst breastfeeding.

Look at the above gadget. It is a little thing slightly larger than the size of a Blackberry and is used to check your baby's heart beat within your abdomen. Isn't that cool? They used it on me (it's battery operated) just before I went in for my.......click to learn what next.

The Loaf at The Pavillion

After much hype, we finally dragged ourselves one day to try out our ex-Prime Minister’s bread business, which originally began in Langkawi. It was super packed!!! But still we queued and we bought. Four chomps later, I felt that it was over-rated. Whilst we didn’t actually buy an.......click to learn what next.

Driving in Kuala Lumpur

……is bloody stressful. Seriously! If you’re a Mom who doubles up as the chauffer, driving sure takes a lot out of your system. It’s exhausting. Incredible concentration is required to manoeuvre away from errant drivers and motorcyclists. I know some Moms who drive tens of kilometres per day.......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
