Have you ever come across them? Don’t you just hate it when you’ve found prime, CHEAP parking in KL right in front of your destination and suddenly realise you can’t get a damn ticket?
One week, I had to go to BV practically every morning for some reason or other. I am so ashamed that BV is my second home. It really is, what a life!
Anyway, with baby in tow bright and early when it is possible to get CHEAP parking, I got my prime spot.
And then couldn’t get my ticket. I looked around for the next parking machine and walked ALLLLLLLLL the way there carrying baby and then walked ALLLLLLLLL the way back to put the damn ticket into the car. Then instead of strutting in a huff straight to my destination, I picked up the phone and called the parking machine people to tell them to FIX the thing.
Now how many Malaysians really do that? How many people really care enough to make a report of a water leak from the public drain or call DBKL to fix up a manhole that’s gotten its cover stolen?
Well, I’m the sucker who’s always making these God damn calls?!!!
I do it because I love my country and I believe that it takes effort to make things work and so I do my part. If I lead by example, hopefully people will re-consider their lackadaisical attitudes and start being more responsible. But mostly, I do it for my children. I not only want them to learn the right thing to do (despite everyone else NOT doing it), I want them to have a better place. To make change, one has to start within. Effect change with baby steps. Gosh, that does sound preachy, doesn’t it? Sorry, not intended.
At 815am, I called the bloody number on the signboard that couldn’t even stand straight (which reminds me, did anyone read about the huge highway road signboard that fell near KLIA this week?). Nobody answered. I must have called at least 7 times with it ringing to the end before I got some response. What time do these guys start work again?
By then, I was already hot and bothered. It wasn’t fun walking around carrying a baby, a diaper bag with phone to my ear; at the same time being vigilant for snatch thieves and acid throwers and what have you.
But yes! I made a report (albeit in an irritated tone! well, they should have picked up the phone!) and the next morning, I parked at a similar spot and the machine WAS working.
**************************************************************************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.





see, it does make a different and the next day, this parking becomes convenient to you. thanks for saving us all in msia, hahaha!!!!
thanks for making the call π I usually won’t do it *hangs my head down in shame* ….because they take forever to answer the call, and when they do, they’ll pass your call to the whole building.
