I forgive myself. Yup. After watching Eat. Pray. Love., I forgive myself for everything. Even eating four chocolate brownies and an entire slice and a half of chocolate cake the day before. OH. MY. GOD. I did what???!!!!

I pretend I’m the Julia Roberts of Asia – stumpy, chubby and totally fabulous. Chocolate has that effect on me. I get slightly delusional.

It’s been one helluva busy weekend. I’ve been zombified and perpetually on the go. The Hubs was NOT happy that I made him drive me to the post office on Saturday morning to deliver only one item (as opposed to paying for parking?). The original cost of the item as you can see here and in many other places, is RM49.90. I sold it for RM8.00 – eek! It was hardly used really, as good as new. The Hubs was crazy enough to calculate our petrol money from home to the post office and back, not to mention both our very expensive time. Definitely fail.

“You cannot do business” he advised, shaking his balding head.

I’ll show him, I thought to myself, exercising my brain. Fifteen squeezes on the right cerebullum. Two reps more on the hypothalamus. Yeehaa! I can do this.

The Hubs was NOT happy that I made him dig out our Graco pack and play cot from the store room and asked him to assemble it so I could photograph it. Well, who else was going to assemble it? I didn’t have a clue how?! I would have ended up with steel poles flinging at windows and he’d have broken glass all over the floor. Is THAT what he wanted? For sure, no.

T2 had her 4th date with her boyfriend this weekend. She is smiling a LOT at him. I think she’s a hunter, this one. Like Mommy. Watch out, boys.

I managed to photograph more items for sale although I haven’t had a chance to upload them yet – BIG APOLOGIES TO THE FIFTEEN OF YOU WHO ARE WAITING FOR ME TO DO THAT!!! Just to console myself for being so slack, I’m telling myself that I have no helper at home and I’m juggling a lot of things all at once, so please be forgiving.

We spent some family time with my parents, attended a birthday party (which is where I whacked the 4 chocolate brownies because they were too good, birthday party hosts are evil) and still I managed to exercise. I did. But walking 2.5km is barely going to cover my intake over the weekend so allow me to continue being in Julia Roberts kind of denial.

We also went to BSC to attend to some matters and managed to go through T1’s new Bahasa work with her and expanded T2’s vocabulary a little.

T1 has for Bahasa, perkataan berlawan (Antonim, see? they have to use English also) and she couldn’t remember tajam and tumpul so finally she said, “I know! I’ll remember T. Tajam is Tessa and Tumpul is Tia!” She didn’t get it wrong after that. She’s quite good at designing her own ways to remember things. So now she relates all her perkataan lawan to herself and her sister. T1 panjang (long), T2 pendek (short). T1 tinggi (high), T2 rendah (low). T1 cantik (beautiful), T2 hodoh (ugly). T1 cerdik (clever), T2 bodoh (stupid). T1 kurus (thin), T2 gemuk (fat). I am not kidding. How THAT will make her remember, I don’t know but she already has.

What’s really bugging me is that I have this oil seed beside my lip that has been there for months. I’ve tried squeezing it out but it keeps coming back. I guess I’ll be needing a facial at some point *sigh* I hate facials…..I haven’t been for one in 4 years. Any recommendations? I just cannot stand this lump beside my lip. It’s like having a big, fat protruding nipple out of my cheek.

I felt like puking tonight. No, I am not pregnant. No way. Although T2’s future Mom-in-Law might’ve been! Ahahaha!!! The Hubs said I deserved it. He IS mean.

I finished my writing assignments – phew! Now I only have to concentrate on the other 87 things on my to do list. But hey, guess what?

LIFE IS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

Have you noticed how all over the place this post is?

Well, THAT’S what happens when you eat 4 chocolate brownies.

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.
