Because Tee is about to perform at the Actor’s Studio for her piano recital next month, she wanted to get a new dress, or should I say….GOWN….as she calls it, as she saw her friend wearing a gown one other day and when asked where she was wearing it to, her friend’s Mom replied that they were going for her piano concert.

We (meaning our household) are on a tight budget and have no intentions on spending unnecessarily. Besides, Tee has an entire designer wardrobe filled with clothes she may never even wear as she doesn’t have enough days to wear them! So the answer was a clear no.

Then the girl tells me, “Let’s MAKE the gown, just like Annie’s! Then we can save money.” I liked the good intentions but when I called Annie’s mother to enquire about said gown since Tee said she wanted it to look exactly like it, the answer knocked me out. RM600!!! For a kid!!! RM300 for the material (dual coloured pink chiffon) and RM300 for tailoring at BSC!!! NO WAY!!!

What does Tee do next? Call her NANA, of course………and Nana says without thinking, of course we’ll get her a new gown, not even asking how much it was going to cost. I called Nana back and told her that I’m fine if she wanted to get Tee her new piano gown (the definition of gown to Tee means a dress that reaches the floor) but there was no way she was going to spend more than RM200 on it. RM200 MAX!!! For a kid, that’s lots.

Nana, being Nana….simply ignores me. She doesn’t say yes, she doesn’t say no. It completely infuriates me. Anyway, we went out shopping for a gown and Nana told Tee that if she really couldn’t find a gown she liked, then we’d tailor it. SO SPOILT.

So my dearest Tee, she gets to have a personal dresser even on that shopping day in search for her gown. Now, having known us for so long, which do you think was Tee’s favourite and which do you think we ended up buying???

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.
