….Talk is cheap….take it with a pinch of salt!
There is this company that has developed a hand sanitizer that does not use alcohol and that is all well and great because if only they’d come up with it when Tee was going through her hand sanitizer addiction phase, I’d have bought a dozen bottles of it at a go.
Recently, they had a marketing spiel that started with….“Most hand sanitizers are not suitale for Muslims as they are alcohol-based.”
Now THAT pissed me off. Talk about being an opportunist. They need a new marketing manager as they’d have been better off marketing it at a different angle - kids!
My parents are both Muslim and they tell me that Muslims are not allowed to CONSUME alcohol, that is….they cannot DRINK it or EAT it. But they can sure as hell touch it. Even those pig-skin lining shoes at Ferragamo??? I assure you, Muslims CAN buy those if they can afford it. *pssst Ms Fang, commission please? OK, free pair of shoes will do….I’ll take last season, no problem*
Back to being Muslim and alcohol. I honestly hope Muslims in Malaysia know their religion and not be brainwashed by hogwash, especially here where people make things up as they go along.
Once upon a time, I designed buildings and interiors of corporate offices and on the rare occasion, homes. Now, I clean poop and am student of a patience management course. From the drawing board as a London Architect to the realities of Motherhood, I have 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 me, 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. *sniff* Someone, please get me a chair.......
I write anything that comes out of my head, mostly without thinking first, which almost always gets me into trouble (according to my husband, also known as the love of my life.......on a good day).
My pet monkeys drive me towards challenge after challenge, 24/7.
Gotta love it.
