Wow! Can you believe it? She’s not even SIX and she has to revise??? Well, if she wants to stay ahead with her peers and keep her marks above 95% then yes, she certainly has to revise!

Having said that, we only revised Bahasa last semester and she actually got better results. So of course, she used that against me, “See? I didn’t even study and I did better. What does that tell you? I should NOT study in future!”

Dream on little lady…….

I do feel sorry for her and the rest of the kids. Even at seven, I feel that our kids are too taxed for Standard One work, what more at five plus.

Today was the Hubs first day at home so I managed to have some alone time with T1 at Nana’s place (she goes to Nana’s every weekend, remember?) and what did we do? We spent an hour revising for her English paper. It was very slow moving as little missy was very tired from her gym class and not in the mood to revise at all but it was our only opportunity to revise this weekend so I told her why she had to do it. Or NO IPAD!!!

Earlier I had threatened her, if you don’t eat your vegetables, then no cupcakes. Nana, bless her, is baking every other day and it is MAKING ME MISS PIGGY MAMA. Nana bakes the best cupcakes and today, she baked an apple crumble. What did T1 say to my threat? “No cupcakes then! I don’t care!”

Grumpily and sulkily, she rudely answered all my English Language questions (plurals, past-tensed, gender, similes, homonyms, opposites, vocabulary); and I didn’t understand what the big deal was. It is ENGLISH, and she knew almost all the answers. So finally, Mommy was comforted that she knew her English quite well so allowed her the ipad. Suddenly her tiredness lifted and she bounced up like she’d struck gold.

Meanwhile, Tok-Tok and Nana were grumbling about why a little girl had to study so hard to me, but they didn’t interfere. So I told them to go look into the matter then!

T1 showing off her ipad. Tok-Tok having a rest in the background because fasting is energy depleting……

Speaking of fasting, T1 came home saying she wanted to fast too because she learnt about fasting in school. What in the world for? She said she just wanted to but I suspect the real reason is because the school food is crap.

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.
