Decreasing metabolic rate

Posted on April 5, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Lately, since I've been sick for almost 2 months now, I've noticed that my metabolic rate has been pretty crap. I walk up the stairs and I am breathless. I need my inhalers and I'm gasping to breathe. Terrible. Before this bout of bronchitis, I was generally quite.......click to learn what next.

Losing pregnancy weight

Posted on April 5, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

How is this going to happen? Well, now that I have guests staying with us, it is a challenge. Plus, since we've all been sick since Chinese New Year, that poses a problem too. But the moment my lungs get the all clear, I'll be working extra hard.......click to learn what next.

New Make Up

So today, Tee and I went around KLCC trying on make up because we have guests from Australia staying with us, and they wanted to go shopping.....so......we went! And the Chanel salesgirl, bless her heart, was ever so nice and helpful and polite to us that we just.......click to learn what next.

Experimenting with cosmetics

Posted on April 5, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Since I've started applying make up and being more diligent with my face, I have gone on a shopping spree with cosmetics and make up. Wheeeee!!! My question is.....now that I've found the best eye cream, do I stick to it forever as long as it still works.......click to learn what next.

To wear make up or not?

Posted on April 5, 2010February 1, 2015 by Mamapumpkin

For the last 5 years since I had Tee, I was a Stay-At-Home-Mom without help. And for that, I was busy as hell and couldn’t be bothered with how I looked. Shit. When you have your toddler’s head stuck in a toilet bowl, your kettle whistling, your soup.......click to learn what next.

Bicycle from Fitness Concept

Posted on April 3, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

This evening, we spent some time at the fitness shop looking for some exercise bicycles to put one at my Mom's place. They only had 2 options which I liked because I like the one with the back rest. The price difference? The Nordic Track brand bicycle cost.......click to learn what next.

When I was really sick yesterday, I couldn't help but sleep whilst the 2 girls entertained themselves. At one point, Tee said she was bored of teaching T2 (she was playing teacher and student with the baby) and asked if she could play dress up instead. Sure! Whatever!.......click to learn what next.

Later this year, we will be celebrating Tee's birthday abroad and will have an exciting time driving cross-country, staying at farms where she will get to milk cows (and I will make damn sure she has a taste of this!), see hens lay eggs and chase pigs. We.......click to learn what next.

Addiction to chocolate

Posted on March 22, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Now that I have no maid, I find myself needing some chocolate everyday. It's like a drug. I work really hard all day and try my leveled best not to raise my voice or get impatient with anybody, and most days, I succeed. But most days, I'm also.......click to learn what next.

How to get a delicious tummy

Posted on March 21, 2010March 21, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

In all my life, I've had a big arse and tree stump thighs but I've never, ever had a problem with my tummy. Till I had T2. Yup. T2......the creator of an everlasting bulge. So much so that for my birthday last week, a good friend of mine.......click to learn what next.

Best wrinkle cream for eyes that don’t shut

Posted on March 21, 2010March 21, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Erm....you heard right. I feel as though I haven't shut my eyes for a few weeks. And my body is aching all over. Because I have not been sleeping and look like shit, I went to look for my eye cream because I am such a lazy person.......click to learn what next.

The coughing symphony

Posted on March 20, 2010March 20, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Since Chinese New Year, I've had this awful cough which I initially passed to T2 who then passed it to Tee and then the Hubs. ALL of us have now visited the Doctor but none of us are well yet. T2 and the Hubs have been put on.......click to learn what next.

All down with bronchitis

Posted on March 16, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Yup! What better timing for the helper to leave during the school holidays and when we're all sick. My cough started during Chinese New Year so effectively, I've had it for a month now. T2 got it just after me and she's recovering now as she's had a.......click to learn what next.

Are Prenatal Vitamins necessary?

Posted on March 16, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

On both occasions, my Obgyn never mentioned anything about me taking prenatal vitamins. I suppose she could see that I was a food lover and was probably getting sufficient nutrients as that very same Obgyn has advised some of my friends that they needed to take this and.......click to learn what next.

Baptising your children

Posted on March 16, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

For the longest time, I've wanted to baptise my girls but it's just one of those things that keep getting procrastinated. Plus it doesn't help that the Churches here aren't being helpful in getting my girls baptised! So for now, they are still un-baptised and Tee is already.......click to learn what next.
