T1 has a French tutor that I pay a lot of money for. She just started this year because she is being ‘home schooled’ this year which really has a strange meaning because everyone (or should I say many Malaysians) has their own definition what homeschooling is and not many are familiar too so let me just say for the record that OUR version of HOMESCHOOLING is allowing T1 this year to do whatever the hell she wants with her life!!!

Of course, we are not so irresponsible to allow her to do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. No, we will pull the stops if she wanted to have a taste of her Nana’s morphine. But generally, she is to take the opportunity to brush up on her weaknesses at school, that is languages. She will have tutors for Bahasa Malaysia, English (weakest by my standards!), French and Mandarin. Yup, 4 languages to be a pro by next year. I expect straight As for all 4 languages. No less. There is no reason why this cannot happen especially since the cost of these home tutors is costing me almost as much as her school fees to International School!!!

For now, I have come to the conclusion that International School is a bargain and the school we send her to? Great value for money. Seriously. I’m paying just under RM10,000 less than her usual school fees, it almost makes me feel, WTF, I might as well just send her to school. But that’s besides the point. There is a very good and real reason why we have chosen to take this year out. It is an experiment for both girls and I believe a good one. And as for financials, so much for T1 supporting our Europe trip as we now have an extra expense in the form of private home tutors to pay for.

Children are expensive!!!

Anyway, let’s see where she is with her languages at the end of the year.

Also, I’m curious to see how the girls develop much, much broader and wider with their repertoire of learnings this year without being spoon fed with information.

It has only been a month and even I am learning.

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.
