….Talk is cheap….take it with a pinch of salt!
Look at my dearest vain pot. She insisted on wearing her diamond earings to dinner one night. She is becoming increasingly vain, always pushing her hair behind her ears and smiling different poses in front of the mirror. She certainly does not get that from me but I sure know where she gets it from!!!

After weeks of bugging us to play RISK with her, the Hubs finally relented. What does a little girl know about RISK? I used to be a RISK fanatic when I was in my teens for a good 10 years playing till the wee hours of the morning in all spots of KL and now [...]
Last Friday, my cousin passed away from cancer. She had been suffering for a year and finally lost the battle to this dreaded decease. She was only my age and full of spirit. I used to play with her as a kid and remember riding elephants together at the age of five. Her mother also [...]
If you didn’t want to go as far as Paris, I’d say Cameron Highlands was a good enough place to have some romance. The air is cool, flowers are in full bloom everywhere, strawberries are in abundance and there are enough things going for it to be a stage set for romance.
I have some friends [...]
I’ve learnt that it doesn’t matter where you are or what you do in a holiday that matters but great company. Even if we had stayed at some crummy resort, and we might have as well done that, as long as you have great company, it is all that matters.
I kid you not.
I was wondering [...]
We finally did it. Traipsed to LV, me in shorts, Mom in slippers and Tee in, I can’t remember what, kid’s clothing?
Mom didn’t bring her bag because she didn’t know I had an agenda that day (Friday, 2.30pm 17th April 2009, for Kathy Lam’s reference) but since we were there, she decided to tell the [...]
The Hubs and I hardly fight. We are too yin and yang to allow ourselves to get all riled up over trivial stuff. We are both very stubborn no doubt, but somehow the timing is always right that one of us would give in when the other is being head strong. We have been together [...]
Last night, Tee woke up at 5am to go to the bathroom. After that, the both of us couldn’t sleep till 630am so she woke up late for school at 830am. But nevermind that.
In her sleepy state, eyes half closed, she turned to me in bed and whispered, “Mom? It doesn’t matter what you look [...]
This is me and my beloved daughter, Tee.
We are the best of friends. My daughter and I, are also so alike in so many ways. We are both very positive people, bubbly and happy and know how to see the lighter side of things. She is also very focused when she wants to be and [...]
Located beside the Sayfol International School, near Hock Choon supermarket.
It is one of our favourite Korean restaurants.
You have the option of sitting on the floor or on proper chairs in a separate area. If like us, you can’t agree on where to sit (ie. Tee and everyone else wanted to sit on the floor but [...]
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.
