Now that I’ve got my blogs to maintain, I really feel like a full time working Mom. Really!! Even though my afternoons are busy with Tee (hey! that’s still work,OK??? and then, there’s the cooking and the cleaning and the laundry!!!), I am literally working from dusk till dawn without any leisure time so I [...]
Hard work equals rewards……
By: Mamapumpkin on: May 7,2009 In: Blogging to save money, Technology, Wealth, Working from HomeIt really does. This last week or two, I’ve been working my ass off. Until my body ached all over and I cannot sleep at night, two nights in a row. Just suffering from over use of the bum. And brain.
Last night, I couldn’t sleep till 8am and I had to wake at 9.15am, yet [...]

Blog housekeeping and starting new blogs
By: Mamapumpkin on: Apr 28,2009 In: Blogging to save money, WealthI have a business plan up my sleeves but unfortunately with pregnancy and without a maid, it can hardly be feasible right now. Yet, I’m itching to make myself more productive in helping the Hubs with income so I’ve decided that I will start more blogs and work harder at blogging. For now……
Today, I discovered [...]

How to make money from a blog - Part 2
By: Mamapumpkin on: Dec 7,2008 In: Blogging to save money, Technology, Wealth, WritingNow that you’ve got your blog up and running with at least 30 posts, you can either invite all your friends to start visiting your blog or you can sit back and do nothing if you’re writing purely for search engine magnets. Well, that’s not true. You should still invite your friends to read your [...]
Birthday Parties are all about Party Packs
By: Mamapumpkin on: Dec 2,2008 In: Tee, my little pumpkin, Toys & Things, Wealth, What's between my ears?NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The problem with having your kid grow up in an affluent environment, and I’m not saying mine is, is that they learn to expect things like party packs. Some of the kids I know, have the grandest of birthday parties resulting in over RM30,000 worth of cost. It is ludicrous, ridiculous and downright selfish. Even [...]
Any idea what Tee is looking at? Since she was 6 months old, my mother would take Tee to KLCC and show her all the diamonds and point out to all things bling. She even taught Tee how to pronounce Bulgari, Tiffany and Cartier, hehehe…..
And believe it or not, this love for diamonds has stuck! [...]

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.
