The makings of a crook

politician

At the supermarket today, Tee asked me if she could buy Nutella for bread. Since we hadn’t used it for awhile, I said OK. We have been trying to stay away from Nutella and Goober Grape as Tee LOVES them for their sweetness and not only that, they’re freaking expensive!

Down the jam aisle I trotted with her in search for Nutella, grabbed a medium sized jar and dumped it into the trolley. Just then, the Hubs appeared and asked me in Malay, “Kenapa you beli itu?” (why are you uying that?)

I whispered, “Nevermind la….we haven’t bought it in awhile. And she asked me if she could have it and I said yes.”

Then he replied in Malay again, “Dia tadi baru tanya saya. Saya cakap takda!” (She just asked me for it just now and I said there wasn’t any!)

“Oh….Hahaha…..” I managed. What else was I to say? He should have told me earlier!

And so he walked off with T2 in search of other grocery items.

After which Tee secretly told me, “Mommy, you know I asked Daddy for Nutella and he said they don’t make them anymore. He couldn’t find them and he said Germany doesn’t send them to Malaysia anymore. But my friend in school, Alisha, she brings Nutella bread. And she said her Mommy bought it from Bangsar Village. Daddy is bluffing me, I know.” And then she gave me this big grin.

Now, you tell me. Was that sneaky of her? How did she even know we were talking about the Nutella jar since he was speaking in Malay and she couldn’t have heard anything I’d said. Hrrmmppphh……why do I feel that I’m the one who’s been duped?

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.
Show your support and spread the love!

  1. she does not need to hear your conversation. she goes to school now and she has more informant! cannot trick her anymore. lol.

  2. Many times, when I spoke of my girl with my hubby, esp the naughty cheeky stuff she did, I tried using Mandarin, and several times, I had been ‘snubbed’ by her……in English! The same thing happened when I spoke in Cantonese or Hokkien to my relatives….thinking she didn’t understand….huh….. our jaws just dropped when she replied to our conversation in English…….

  3. We can’t converse in word, we need to spell the word like “T I A D A” when we need to discuss something in front of the kids.
