Mamapumpkin??? 
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, kick-ass Mom who works full time juggling several jobs - the full-time paid job, the raising of her 2 kids (she gets paid in kind for this) and the volunteering job for various charity organisations and parenting websites. Needless to say, she gets very little sleep (3-5 hours per day, Margaret Thatcher who used to sleep 4 hours per day during her conservative career inspires this crazy lifestyle).
Mamapumpkin intends to change the working Mom landscape in Malaysia where working women can bring their children to the corporate office of a client and not be frowned upon.
She writes anything that comes out of her head, mostly without thinking first (since she already has to think at work!), 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 interestingly, 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.

Tee’s chilli padi mouth
By Mamapumpkin, on April 13th, 2008
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The Hubs was furiously looking for a file this morning which housed Tee’s work from school. I asked him to ask the maid (which we borrowed from my Mom for the weekend) as she would know since she would have been the one to move it. He didn’t want to because explaining that to the blur maid would be like asking a dog to choose between eating an apple or a pear. The Hubs doesn’t like approaching potentially complicated dramas so he chose to be stubborn about asking the maid.
I suggested that it would be down on the floor with Tee’s other artwork but he chose to not look there because why in the world would it be there when it has been on the table, and has always been on the table?! So all of us three (Tee included, of course, being the busybody that she is) went in search for Tee’s school folder and I gave up pretty soon insisting that it would be on the floor with that pile of Tee’s artwork.
Finally, the old grumpy man gave in and looked below and lo and behold, what did I say? He’d found it. By then, I’d already walked away from the study to go to the washroom but I could hear in the background, Tee scolding her Dad,
“SEE??!!!! Mommy kept telling you it was down there!!! You never listen!!”
I was just imagining the Hubs smacking her pert little bottom right then. Hahaha….
