Warning: This is a non-halal post, even though my parents are Muslim. Haha.
We have been going every weekend to the TTDI market since we received our new helper. No more eating out. It is really wonderful eating home cooked food and knowing that there is always food on the table at HOME……which is really where the hearth is.

What we usually get is an array of fish, chicken, pork, vegetables and fruit. Our beef is usually obtained from the supermarket because I don’t like the smell of local beef. Many have warned us the dangers of chicken from the market but seriously, how do you know that the organic chicken that you buy from the supermarket is really organic? This is Malaysia…..anything is possible. Like have you seen bottled water being sold in the shops that actually came from water that was collected from a leaking pipe? I have!

We usually spend RM150-200 each weekend at the market to feed 3 adults and 1 child. Fish is usually the most expensive accounting for a good RM50 for fish for 2-3 meals only. A beautiful pomfret alone could cost RM35. Next is fruit accounting for RM30-50 depending or not whether it is expensive fruit season (like Indian mangoes!). I usually mix and match my fruit. For example, if we have papaya, apples and oranges this week, we’ll have kiwi, grapes and peaches next week. Vegetables for the week always stand at around RM30-35. I would get 3 leafy vegetables and the rest would be longer lasting root vegetables or broccoli and such. We usually spend about RM30-40 on chicken as I buy only the thigh meat, some fillets and maybe some bones for soup. Pork would be RM40 also comprising pork bones for soup, minced pork (as Tee loves minced pork), pork chops, and some other bits and bobs here and there for stir frying and whatever else I feel like eating. What’s your marketing bill like? Do share.

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.
