I don’t want to blow T1’s horn at all but shit, I am so frigging proud of her for winning a Silver Award for the prestigious Royal Commonwealth Essay Competition that garnered more than 11,000 entries world wide this year!!!!!!!!! Most of the participants ranged from ages 12 and above but my T1, being 8 when she wrote it, won a Silver Award.

The highest writing competition I ever won was a National Writing Competition organised by Shell and I was 16 then. I also wrote something for the News Straits Times as a teenager but look at my T1 – 8 years old, and she has put her name on an international stage.

I AM SO PROUD!!!!!!!!!!!!

She said, “Damn, why didn’t I win the GOLD!!!?????”

Maybe next year, T1. Maybe next year.

She also just missed qualifying for the SEA Games Chess. This really does make me sound like a kiasu Mom, doesn’t it? If you knew me, you would know. You would know how I do not ask anything from my kids academically only that they are polite and kind and respect their elders with good manners.

Really.

But such is life that there will be envy…….as always.

T2 still can’t read if it is any consolation. She may not read till she’s 10! But I still love her more than ever and am not asking her to at all. Each child to their own.

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.
