Yes, I made that word up. It doesn't exist - I checked. I've noticed that some people stay in the background and are sensitive to their surroundings. They watch quietly; your bronze polished nails, your tattered bag, your scratched Chanel shoes, how you.......click to learn what next.

Protected: Putting ink to paper….keyboard to screen

Posted on January 20, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

In researching for my book (which I have been commissioned to write and because I was selected amongst local journalists, is really not a big deal to me), I have been thinking a lot of about writing. Writing styles, the use of language, expressions,.......click to learn what next.

My current favourite dish

Posted on January 20, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

It's the mackerel teriyaki set at Lake Club. I can eat 3 servings! But I'll bet it raises my sugar levels unhealthily, which explains why I get on a high whenever I order it. Bummer. Thank goodness, I am not pregnant or that.......click to learn what next.

Blogging as breaks

Posted on December 30, 2006 by Mamapumpkin

So I was wrong..... It feels like I'll be writing another 10 posts before the year is up. Reason being, it is so much more fun than researching for a bloody coffee table book. So I blog in between as breaks. It is my.......click to learn what next.

Ammunition for dealing with Government agencies and idiots

Posted on December 29, 2006 by Mamapumpkin

I have it sussed. Ever since I became the secretary for a charity organisation I volunteer with, I've had to make dozens of phone calls to Government agencies in order to keep ourselves legal. It is no picnic but I no longer stress.......click to learn what next.

If there were ever some powerful emotions that set forth in a woman on the onset of Motherhood, it is surely love, patience and guilt - in that order. Last week, T and I woke up bright and early to send the Hubs.......click to learn what next.

Doing her bit for Charity

Posted on December 20, 2006 by Mamapumpkin

I am proud of my toddler. She is no longer a toddler really, but a very mature little girl of 27 months. She even looks it, her maturity, as people always mistake her for being older than she really is. And the expressions.......click to learn what next.

What is happening to my country?

Posted on December 12, 2006 by Mamapumpkin

Whilst reading the Star this evening, I started getting really worried. This is the country's leading newspaper that sits on more than half the office receptions and desks of CEO's in KL.
