Today, I was reminded that CNY was just a blink away and I started panicking! I haven’t even thought that far ahead yet we were catching a plane already next week!

*hyperventilates*

New clothes!

Ang Pow packets!

Cash to Withdraw!

Packing!

Shopping for in-laws!

Clearing the fridge before we leave!

Preparation for the arrival of our new helper!

*hyperventilates*

All this on top of my already very, VERY busy schedule with work and kids.

I then stopped to think what Chinese New Year was for my kids………..

Holiday!

An aeroplane ride

Time with their grandparents in hot, sunny Kota Bharu

Wearing new ‘Chinese’ clothes

Carrying a little bag each for Ang Pow collection

Lots of fun with Mommy and Daddy in the garden

Wishing everyone with rehearsed lines and actions

Eating customary CNY food

Over-dosing on Amah’s cookies

Is that it?

Is it enough?

In my day, Chinese New Year was so many things.

Just one, was the smell of love letters (kuih kapit). There we were squatted on concrete floors chatting and laughing whilst we helped Aunty M watch the hot iron moulds that held the soon to be crispy, aromatic love letters. Repeated warnings not to go to near the fire and hot fingers from attempting to fold freshly cooked batter were just some of the memories I have of my childhood Chinese New Year…………..

What about you?

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.
