If you do not want a child that has a mouth like Tee, then for goodness sake, when you are pregnant, stay clearly AWAY from chillies. I am a chilli freak and am now paying for the consequences.

Here is just one of the many examples of why I feel this way.

Whilst driving in a thunderstorm to Ikea that day, my backseat driver goes,

Mommy! Drive slower!

I ignored her with an Mmm… as I was trying very hard to concentrate on the road. It is not everyday that I travel to Ikea and what more, the bloody roads are always changing. Worse, the rain was pouring down on the windscreen that I could barely see the road signs. I took my chances and drove slowly, trying my best to navigate with some intelligence, although with a squeaky voiced backseat driver, that task sometimes get blurred.

Tee: Mommy! You can’t see the windscreen. You better drive slower.

Me: Yes, I know. Hush.

Tee: It’s very dangerous. The rain is too heavy. Go slower.

Me: Yes, OK, be quiet. I need to find the road. (I was stuck somewhere after the Penchala Link near some underpass crossing the LDP and couldn’t tell if the roads were one way or two way)

Tee: Mommy, I think you better drive slowly because you can’t see the windscreen. (God! Talk about a broken record! She’s worst than my mother-in-law!!!)

Me: Tee, you better keep quiet because Mommy needs to concentrate or we’ll get lost. (My temperature rising by the minute and just then, I realised that I’d taken the wrong turn and was heading towards 1-Utama rather than the turn off to Ikea. Fuck.)

Me, mumbling to myself silently, shit, shit, shit…..going at snail’s pace wondering what to do next. Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. Do I reverse? Do I make a big round? How can I reverse when I curse all those who reverse at a junction? Shit, shit, shit.

Tee: Mommy, why are you stopping? If you stop in the middle of the road, the car behind will bang you.

Me: JUST KEEP QUIET! SEE??? I’M LOST NOW!!! YOU BETTER SHUT UP!!!

Tee: SEE??? SEE??? I TOLD YOU TO DRIVE SLOWLY!!! THE WINDSCREEN IS BLUR SO YOU NEED TO DRIVE SLOWLY!!! I TOLD YOU! I TOLD YOU! MOMMY, I TOLD YOU!!! (if there is one thing this girl has, she’s got balls)

Resigned to the fact that my little toddler was being super precocious and very much like her own mother *sigh*, I couldn’t help but smile in my heart despite the fact that I should have kicked her out of the car right then. Sometimes, I really don’t know how to be angry when my little one makes me laugh.

This is what Tee says whenever we talk to her in an irritated tone.

“Please talk nicely. Don’t talk rough. I am only a child…..”

Can die or not???!!! Who in the world taught her how to say that? Fess up!

Who is Mamapumpkin?
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.
