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.

We were invited to visit the Children’s Library at the Community Center in Taman Tun over the holidays. It is a nice, quiet and BIG library with lots of space, fully air-conditioned, clean, has lots of tables and chairs and I believe, WIFI.
At first, Tee and her girlfriend were happily reading until another boy friend turned up who was only interested in playing, not reading. Suddenly, all 3 of them wanted to play only and lost interest in reading and we were almost thrown out of the library due to the noise they were making. We quickly kept the books and left for Nandos where the kids could release their energy.
And release her energy she did. Look at her below. Do you know what she is doing? She is some super hero, Ben 10 perhaps? And no, she does not ever watch Ben 10 – this is just influence from her boyfriend….
We had piano lessons immediately after this so that was another day well spent in exhausting a preschooler out – yay!
