….Talk is cheap….take it with a pinch of salt!
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 [...]
When our vacation was booked, Tee’s boyfriend’s Mom was really stressed out that we were going to stay at such an adult place, a honeymoon-ish type of resort, where only quiet couples were seen during meal times. Heck, you don’t even see these couples in the whole of Cameron Highlands and you’re wondering why??
Hello, what [...]
After an entire morning of picking up trash, hey, that’s 4 kilometers mind you, of steep uphill struggles, we were famished. Our meals were all packaged up by the resort so we ate there mostly, despite cravings to get out into the town to eat real food.
Breakfast at the resort was good - ample supply [...]
The first thing we did on our first morning in Cameron Highlands after a sumptuous breakfast was to WALK IT OFF!!! Actually, we also had a night stroll on our first night after dinner but it was nothing compared to this morning walk that we braved 2km up a steep hill where the Shell Bungalow [...]
There’s nothing like a refreshing welcome of fresh bloom in a hotel room. I always love seeing fresh flowers in my hotel room, and my home too but I can’t afford a constant supply of fresh flowers unfortunately. So yes, this was indeed refreshing.
The first thing Tee does when we enter a hotel room is [...]
After an eventful 3 days, we made it home in 1 piece. Phew! And there were lots of tears……my drama Queen, every time we return from a holiday, there will be lots of crying for a few days because she has SO MUCH FUN. Probably too much. I’m telling you, the next time we go [...]
Next week, we go for a holiday at an almost adults only resort. Well, they don’t actually specify that it is an adult only resort but when you see the setting of it, you almost assume that it is one where children are not very welcome, especially by honeymooning couples. Well, what the heck, we’ll [...]
One of our family traditions is to have an annual holiday together with the extended family. For some reason, ChiangMai has always lured us back, year after year. We’ve been to other cities as well, but ChiangMai is just one place we will always come home to. For me personally, it is the food. Glorious, [...]
OK, two guesses what the above picture is all about.
For the longest time, Tee has wanted to see real snow. She wants to feel it, touch it, be in it and keeps asking us to take her to Canada or Switzerland because she wants to see snow!!! Sometimes she asks for England too, but not [...]
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.
