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, 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.

She'd love to hear from you : Mamapumpkin at gmail dot com

Yamaha piano ordered

By Mamapumpkin, on March 31st, 2009

We finally decided on a piano. A reconditioned Yamaha U3 which is probably as old as I am but sounds really good. We’ll see how long it stays good. It’s costing a lot of money but we figured that if both Tee and I play it everyday, it works out to a hundred bucks a month for the next 10 years. It really should last at LEAST another 10 years!!!

The internals of a piano, which is really what you pay for. If you want to know more about pianos, visit a piano shop and get someone to explain the entire mechanics of the instrument to you. It is really fascinating stuff.

I do wonder how far Tee will take her piano and how seriously but she seems to love it for now. I, on the other hand, can’t wait to have free access to a piano at any time of the day. Baby T will soon be able to listen to the piano from my uterus!!
