….Talk is cheap….take it with a pinch of salt!
After waking up to catch a plane at 630am, we finally arrived in Kota Bharu for Chinese New Year at my in-laws and guess what the girls got up to for the next 3 hours?

Tee was sent to do some colouring whilst T2 ate her lunch…..

Then, my SIL taught Tee the Chinese Zodiac and Tee has promised to learn it as she has to recite it back to SIL next Chinese New Year. For days after, SIL would ask Tee every morning which animal comes after which animal. Even I don’t know what the chinese zodiac is but I have google if I ever need to know *wink*
Whilst Tee was busy with SIL and BIL learning her chinese zodiac, we caught up with MIL and FIL and left T2 busy to perform her favourite past time - tearing tissues. But after the tenth tissue, I stopped her and this is what happened…..

When the sun wasn’t so scorching hot, we finally allowed Tee to get onto her Kota Bharu bicycle. But only in the porch where it is shaded.

And T2 got her first taste of driving. I think she liked it!

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.
