My mother has had this maid for two years. She asked for a holiday back home to Indonesia for Raya for two weeks. So mom got the Hubs to organise the tickets. When we asked the maid what dates she wanted to travel, she gave us the exact dates amounting to three weeks when my mother only allowed her two weeks. We blur, blur didn’t verify with my mother and just booked the tickets for the maid. All my mother said was book her ticket and get the dates from her. That’s how trusting my mother is and never learns despite being burnt a gazillion times.

Days before departure, the maid kept asking my mother for more money to bring back home. In the end, the maid left less than RM1,000 with my mother. And the house keys too.

She was due back yesterday but didn’t show up. After verifying with Air Asia that she never got onto the plane in Indonesia, my mom now has to hunt for a new maid. AND she gets fined because that is the new ruling here, but she’ll use the leftover maid’s salary to pay for it. But the hassle of making a police report et al…..*sigh*

This week, there is some painting going on at my mother’s place and scaffolding is everywhere. On TWO occassions, my mother came home finding her balcony glass door opened. It is usually locked when she leaves. She couldn’t find anything missing but my mother doesn’t even know what she has! Anyway, I won’t be surprised if the maid’s boyfriend/uncle/whoever has been eyeing my mother’s place since they have the keys after all.

My mother is mad sometimes.

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.
