Whilst I was complaining to the Hubs that my Blackberry batteries don’t seem to last very long, and that I needed to find a Blackberry car phone battery charger, T1 decided to add to the conversation:

Because I bet it’s made in China. Everything that is made in China is lousy……

Ever since the formula milk scandal that hit us, T1 has formed an impression on products from China. She even warns my in-laws every time they go to China that they should at all circumstances stay AWAY from milk.

********************************************************

Whilst eating some fish and chips at The Club today, T1 asked if she could have more tartare sauce. The Hubs was carrying T2 showing her around so I told her to wait alone at the table and walked off to ask for some tartare sauce. As the restaurant was very busy, the wait took longer than necessary, and when I returned, T1 asked:

Did you guys just go on a holiday?

Talk about sarcasm, eh? One day, I might just stuff a chilli padi into her mouth!

********************************************************

Now that the Hubs is home 24/7, he sleeps with the baby whilst I sleep with T1. This is so he knows what it’s like to wake up several times throughout the night with a crying baby wanting to be picked up. Incredibly, he has not complained yet. But this morning, when the baby woke up at 730am, the Hubs just let her be because he was extremely tired. I had gone out all day yesterday from 8am to 2am the next morning and the baby hadn’t seen me at all! So she woke up almost every hour on the hour all night. T1 and I were both outside in the kitchen making breakfast and after 5 minutes of the baby crying, I sent T1 into the master bedroom to tell T2 that Mama was coming. Bless the baby, she stopped crying as soon as she saw her favourite sister. Soon I walked in to carry T2 out of her cot and T1 said:

Mommy, I think Daddy still needs more training with the baby…..

I thought that was quite funny because she thought that Daddy was in training.

*********************************************************

Whilst explaining to T1 that she shouldn’t keep secrets from me, she answered:

But you and Daddy always keep secrets from me! That’s not fair?

I explained that there are some things in this world that are not meant for children’s ears and imediately, she retorted:

Well, I’m going to have secrets with T2 then, because some things are not meants for adults ears….

:-0

**********************************************************

I was frantically searching for a pen from the diaper bag and mumbling and grumbling away that when I really needed to find something, it always disappeared. T1 says:

What are you talking about, Mom? It means your eyes are just old eyes!

**********************************************************

Whilst my in-laws were down recently, my Mother-in-Law teased T1 why she couldn’t speak Chinese when she was a Chinese. Shame on her. T1’s reply?

It’s because I don’t play Hockey, so that’s why I can’t speak Hokkien.

All 5 of us adults in the car burst out laughing.

**********************************************************

Whilst telling the Hubs that a friend of ours had chicken pox, T1 just had to add:

All he has to do to get rid of his chicken pox is to do the chicken dance.

And she starts doing the chicken dance. If you ever want to see her doing the chicken dance, just ask her.

*********************************************************

Because my Mom has pretty much lost her taste buds from her cancer, she gets us to taste her cooking whilst she is cooking just to check if there is enough salt etc. One day, T1 overheard Nana calling me, where’s my food taster? and she immediately let out a cry!

No! She cannot be the food taster or she’s going to get fatter and fatter!!

>*-*<

***********************************************************

When T1 was having a conversation with her Kong-Kong from Kota Bharu, she was as usual being extremely cheeky (for eg: when he asked her what she was doing, she said she was talking to him, what else?) , so her Kong-Kong said that he was going to smack her bottom for being so cheeky. After which, T1 said,

Kong-Kong? Do you know that I have a very solid butt?

OH. MY. GOODNESS.

We have mentioned before how solid her butt is because it is rock hard and we sometimes smack it because it just calls out to be smacked, and T1 is very proud of her solid butt. When talking to her Kong-Kong, she was showing off that even if he smacked her, it’d be OK since her butt was so solid, she wouldn’t feel any pain.

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.

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.
