A Mother’s Monologue

….Talk is cheap….take it with a pinch of salt!

Once upon a time, she designed buildings and interiors of corporate offices and on the rare occasion, homes. Now, she cleans poop and is student of a patience management course. From the drawing board as a London Architect to the realities of Motherhood, she has certainly learned many lessons in humility. And then others.....

To succeed in the corporate world, first succeed with your kid as the happy boss. Seriously.

This blog is about Mamapumpkin: A crazy, demented Mom who cares full time, alone, without any help, for an even crazier preschooler AND a baby with a boob addiction problem.

She writes anything that comes out of her head, mostly without thinking first, which almost always gets her into trouble (according to her husband, whom she considers the love of her life.......on a good day).

Her 2 pet monkeys drive her towards challenge after challenge, 24/7. Day after Day.....and by the way, her parents are Muslim, her in-laws Buddhist, she's Catholic and her Hubs, an Atheist. She's thinking her kids should be Hindu, just to complete the rainbow religion cycle.

Gotta love it.

Building a great retirement village – vague definitions confuse me

By Mamapumpkin, on February 9th, 2008

My mother has always had this brilliant idea for me to build a retirement village in Malaysia in the hope that she could live in it one day. Not the old folks homes that are currently available right now. A REAL retirement village. One which you not only can see yourself living in one fine day but actually WANT to live in. Know what I mean?

If that plan ever materialises, then assisted living software is something I’d look into apart from medical facilities, land and location, qualified nursing staff, a great management team and security. As for the design of the masterplan? Hey, I’d design it myself!!
