My girls, they fight. Oh.....they fight. Like spit and spat and hitting and screaming......but at the end of the day, they always make up. They are sisters after all. Best friends forever. I love how they miss each other when the other isn't around. I love how they.......click to learn what next.

I've always been a dreamer and an idealist when it came to friendship. I keep all the letters from my childhood and I keep in touch with as many friends as possible from my childhood. They all form a part of my life and I can't help feeling.......click to learn what next.

I wish I was more vain

Posted on May 1, 2012May 2, 2012 by Mamapumpkin
Honestly, I wish I was more vain. I know of friends who eat very little just so they can stay in shape as it is so important to them to look good. Then there are friends who MUST put make up on whenever they leave the house. My.......click to learn what next.

Playing with Blocks

Posted on May 1, 2012April 19, 2012 by Mamapumpkin
I cannot stress how important it is for kids to play with generic toys. If it was one toy that you had to get your kid, get them a set of building blocks, or Lego. All those Barbie and Ben10 toys are rubbish and add very little value.......click to learn what next.

In my new line of work, I am increasingly meeting a lot of men. In my industry, there is only men. Very rarely do you get to hear of a woman thus when I front the company as a woman, men cannot take it. But they only cannot.......click to learn what next.

Finding a good International School in KL

Posted on April 21, 2012September 4, 2016 by Mamapumpkin
It is totally unfair that in Malaysia, the majority of parents are stuck with a crappy education system due to the Government's political agendas. When I was in school, being in a Government School was still OK as the syllabus then was a tweak from the British curriculum.......click to learn what next.

This happened 2 weeks ago but did you guys read about it in the news? This 14 year old boy happens to be someone's son. Sure, accidents happen but how would you feel if your own child was involved in such an accident due to the ignorance and.......click to learn what next.

Inhibiting you child’s creativity

Posted on April 5, 2012April 4, 2012 by Mamapumpkin
Some children are naturally born creative. Some are not. But that's not to say that creativity cannot be developed or Edward De Bono would be out of business. If you were to give some children some generic toys such as building blocks, or semi-circular donut rings or octagonal.......click to learn what next.

If you don't know it yet, it is my inherent mission in life to help women in Malaysia with their child care problems. Unfortunately in Malaysia, we hear of babies and kids DYING whilst in the care of others and this is happening all too often so much.......click to learn what next.

Taking off your shoes where it matters

Another active discussion happening on Facebook: Have you ever been to play areas where shoes are to be removed from your baby or toddler but then you see that THAT other kid does not have his shoes removed? Once his dirty shoes have already soiled the carpeted play.......click to learn what next.

The art of saying thank you

Some people just do not know it. And they never will. Whilst I sit back and reflect on how some people get it whilst others don't, I ponder about how I myself learnt the art of saying thank you. Did my mother teach me? Was it through observation.......click to learn what next.

Of sponsored posts AGAIN! Let me rape you….

Some of my readers feel that when I do not fore-warn them that a post below is a sponsored post, they feel cheated, used, dirty and downright manipulated. Did I tell you I was a serial rapist in my past life? I raped women. I think that as a.......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
