Incorporating exercise into work life

Posted on June 16, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

Right now, it almost seems impossible. But I am determined to get back on track. It's just that I've just started work and being busy is an understatement. Really. What was interesting though, is that I started a food diary for a week and noticed how conscious I.......click to learn what next.

Management of Documents

Posted on June 16, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

I have been crazy busy setting up my home office today and it is a challenge because I not only am lacking in SPACE but already I have all these million and one documents lying all over the place! And then apart from setting up a hard copy.......click to learn what next.

Growing up with Dettol

Posted on June 13, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

As a child, whenever the name Dettol was heard, we could smell it. We knew it was that brown liquid that was used to sanitise. That's what hospitals smelt like and that's what toilets smelt like. Today, Dettol is very different! It still hints wafts of traditional Dettol.......click to learn what next.

New hotels in KL

Posted on June 2, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

What are your favourite hotels in town? I hardly spend any time in hotels these days but back in the day it used to be the Shangri-La. I have no idea why we spent so much time there, if it wasn't dining, it was disco-ing or staying the.......click to learn what next.

Becoming more male….

Posted on June 2, 2011June 2, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

Today, I was stuck in the car with two monkeys for an hour. A whole hour! They were getting restless as hell, especially the little one, so I had to think of distractions. It wasn't safe to come out of the car, it was raining heavily anyway, so.......click to learn what next.

Buying expensive watches

Posted on May 28, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

Recently the Hubs had to go get his watch repaired. When I found out how much it cost to repair the watch, I questioned why he didn't just get a new one instead! It just wasn't worth repairing! Thankfully, we have a relative who is high up in.......click to learn what next.

Bushnell Legend

Posted on May 28, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

What's that? It's the name of a riflescope. What's that? Ahhh......you will only know this if you were an assassin, which I've been known to be good at. I have two very, very close relatives who own guns and sometimes, when people piss me off, I feel like.......click to learn what next.

Carrying tons of weight

Posted on May 27, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

On a daily basis, I am carrying tons of weight. When I pick T1 up from school alone, I have T2 carried on my left arm, T1's very heavy school bag on my right shoulder and T1 holding my right hand. I've already given up carrying out a.......click to learn what next.

Do you dare wear a Funny T-Shirt?

Posted on May 27, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

Seriously, now. When I was in my teens, I would but now that I'm far into my post-teens, there is just no way I'd don a cheesy T-shirt no matter how funny. Well, case by case, I suppose. Show it to me first. Would you? When I was.......click to learn what next.

Kleenex, oh Kleenex…..how you are my favourite best friend!!!

See this???? I know......doesn't it make you feel all English Roses? I'm so such a big fan of Kleenex (including their baby wet wipes!!!) because we are BIG users of tissues at home. I have major sinus issues and you can safely say tissues are my best friend........click to learn what next.

Cable TV Subscriptions

Gosh! I cannot even remember when the last time I watched TV was! I have been busy, like super busy ever since I started work. And I don't have any help! I am so thoroughly blessed already that I have a boss who allows me the flexibility to.......click to learn what next.

Selling the car

The Hubs wants to buy a truck. If you have been a loyal reader following this blog for years, you will know what a truck fanatic he is. No fast cars for him. He isn't the least bit interested. You certainly have a hint of a man by.......click to learn what next.

Bathroom furniture

Posted on April 22, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

In our quest to reorganize the home, I have been looking at bathroom etageres, in particular one etagere that is made of cast iron supports and porcelain shelves. I'm just a sucker for beautiful things, what can I say? Bathroom etageres are great because they instantly beautify your.......click to learn what next.

Buying new curtains

Posted on April 22, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

If I had been any smarter, I would have just done away with curtains. Anything fabric for me is just sinus no-no. But too late now. I have curtains. And I hate washing them and having to care for them. Can't I just have a glass house with.......click to learn what next.

Coin Collection

Posted on April 22, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

T1 used to have a coin collection that she was very excited about but she seems to have forgotten about it now. School has been keeping her very busy on top of her various extra-curriculur activities. I should remind her about it actually, and should she no longer.......click to learn what next.
