I love weddings. Have I told you how much I love weddings? Some weddings are boring (when you know nobody and nobody makes any effort to talk to you) but most weddings are an opportunity to catch up with relatives and old friends and reminisce the good times to make way for the new, even better days. I love weddings.

Recently, my cousin got married. He is the number 2 grandson of the Woo clan from Teluk Intan. Because my big gang of Australian cousins were down in town, we spent the week busy entertaining them and on the day of the wedding, we were so tired and still so busy! There was the Church wedding, then the tea ceremony, and then the wedding dinner all in one day! Certainly not a good time recipe for kids!

I was exhausted!!!

So much so that my make up from Church carried me right through to the wedding dinner because honestly, I didn’t have time to even freshen up as we were busy driving people around and going from one errand to another. Plus we had to ensure the kids were fed etc etc etc.

To the point of the wedding day, I didn’t even know what I was wearing to the wedding but since my cousin from Oz brought me a lovely lace top, I’d decided to wear that. However, when we arrived home at 5pm and after my super quick shower discovered that I couldn’t indeed fit into that new top, I went rummaging into the wardrobe for a wedding outfit!!!

After 3 dresses (that all couldn’t fit!!!!), I finally had no choice but to settle for a blue dress below which forced me to suck in my stomach ALL NIGHT LONG!!!

It’s a lovely Max Mara dress that can be tied any way at the waist or hips with an attached sash and I must have looked like a blue hippo bouncing around the Ritz Carlton. That’s why I’m not showing you the bottom half! T1 wore a pretty green Somerset Bay dress which was LOUSY because not only did it tear at the joints between the lace and the chiffon fabric, the straps broke half way on one side and then the other later!!! What kind of rubbish is that???? Furthermore, I remember my Mom paying close to RM200 for it!!! LOUSY!!! I told her we could still keep it if she was prepared to wear it avante garde style like how she wore it at the wedding because we had to tie it in knots at the straps as nobody had a safety pin. The monkey had to take the ribbons from the wedding favours to tie around her head……go figure.

As I was rushing for time, I had no time to accessorize either so threw on some black heart diamante studs and some black high heels. SIMPLE!

See my two monkeys??? Bullying their Uncle Ben as usual…..

They preferred hanging outside the ballroom than sitting inside eating and enjoying the wedding…….I guess weddings must be boring for kids. If I had a choice, I wouldn’t have brought them at all but at a family wedding, all our babysitters are at the wedding!

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.

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.
