This evening, I shall be attending the funeral wake of one of my maid of honour’s relatives alone. Luckily, or rather coincidentally, the Hubs is ill today so he didn’t go to work and is available at home to take care of the kids. If he had gone to work, then no way can I go because it is raining now and by the time he comes home from work, it will be too late for me to go. My only worry is that I am totally unfamiliar with Glenmarie area! But I shall try my best finding the way with my Blackberry GPS.
He was a young man with young kids, contracted leukemia 2 months ago totally unsuspected and died yesterday. A friend of mine just had a stroke last week. She was younger than me. Another friend of mine, my age, had a 5 heart bypass last November and had to be bedridden for 3 months. They had to break open his ribcage in order to get to the heart.

The Hubs old classmate just died last month from liver failure. Need I tell you more?
Life is precious. Live every day as though it is your last. Call everyone you love. Renew all ties that have been severed in the past. And stop worrying, stop stressing, stop being negative. Life is too short for that. Really. It is when you have really lost, that you realise just how precious life is. And you will then stop moaning about how bad your life is.
**************************************************************************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.


sorry to hear about your friend’s loss. yes life is too precious but the thing is, we tend to easily forget this and go back to being stressed out with our daily lives until it’s too late.
how true..I try to tell myself that life is too short to be stressed everytime i get pissed off with my MIL
yeah, life is precious but unfortunately many of us only realise when we see ppl we know, just snap off suddenly. My colleagues 17yr old son passed away suddenly in Melbourne. Only child. The parents are so down and I just cannot imagine being in their shoes. So, life is fated, cherish it while we have one.
This entry came at a rather apt time. Thanks for reminding me that all the stress in the world should not deter us from appreciating life and cherishing every moment we have.
Condolences to your friend and her family.
Exactly my thoughts. So if you want to indulge in a Carls Jr burger with double beef pattie, go for it!!!
