I woke up to 400 emails this morning - all SPAM!!!
That is because I haven’t had time yet to install the anti-spam softwares into all my blogs. I haven’t even had time to UPDATE all my blogs, so ambitious, hahahaha……
Bad news? The [...]
Children at the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra
By: Mamapumpkin on: May 8,2009 In: Tee, my little pumpkin, Tots ActivitiesLast Sunday, Tee had her first taste of the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. Usually, the age limit to the MPO is 8 but on Family Days, which they hold once a month, younger children can enter. Unfortunately, this time round, there were only 3 four year olds and I could tell that they were still a [...]
Children eating raw carrots
By: Mamapumpkin on: May 7,2009 In: Small Pumpkin, Tee, my little pumpkinThrice now, Tee has asked for some raw carrots. She has NEVER liked raw carrots so this is really a surprise for me. She is influenced by the TV and possibly from school but hey, I’m not complaining. I call her my little bunny and she crunches on even more raw carrots. Without any dip.
Many [...]
Four year old rollerblading
By: Mamapumpkin on: May 7,2009 In: Tee, my little pumpkin, Tots ActivitiesTee has been wanting to skate or rollerblade ever since she was three. We got her a set of blades but decided they were just too dangerous and kept it away.
Just last week, she saw the rollerblading rink outside Jungle Gym at BSC and wanted to have a go. So we let her. After that, [...]

How we got Tee to help us clean our bedroom
By: Mamapumpkin on: May 5,2009 In: Small Pumpkin, Square Pumpkin, Tee, my little pumpkin, The Hubs, Tots ActivitiesLast weekend, the Hubs and I had a mission to give our bedroom a BIG spring clean. This meant hoovering the entire bedroom from ceiling to floor, to picture rails to the back of pictures, to curtain rails to fans and lights, to the backs of furniture to cupboard grooves and surfaces. It also meant [...]
Playing RISK with a 4 year old
By: Mamapumpkin on: May 5,2009 In: Tee, my little pumpkin, The people around me, Tots Activities, Toys & ThingsAfter 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 [...]
Heavy heart with tears in my eyes
By: Mamapumpkin on: May 5,2009 In: Small Pumpkin, Tee, my little pumpkin, Tots ActivitiesToday, I left Tee at Art Class (2 hours whilst I blog) and walked away in tears and a really heavy heart. Why? Shouldn’t I be deliriously happy that I can lavish a whole 120 minutes to myself?
It is her first proper class today and she is participating in it with 6 other rowdy, matsalleh, [...]
Children copying adults in speech
By: Mamapumpkin on: May 4,2009 In: Tee, my little pumpkin, Toddler speechI am probably the closest person in the world to Tee, in that we’ve had the most time alone together than anyone else; and this is pretty obvious when she speaks because she speaks exactly like me!!!
Because she is a typical preschooler, she’s always dawdling when we need her to be fast, especially when it [...]
Look what I found?
By: Mamapumpkin on: May 4,2009 In: Tee, my little pumpkin, Tots Activities, What's between my ears?Because I had recommended a friend to the opening of this place in her area, today she sms’d me to ask where it was again but by then I had already deleted the details off my email and smartphone. Since I was in front of the computer, I decided to see if I could find [...]
Who is Mamapumpkin?
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.
