Sports Day at T1’s school

Posted on January 26, 2011January 20, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

Last year, we all attended T1's sports day decked in blue to support our little munchkin. My Mom commented in the sweltering hot, grassy field, that she'd never seen so many Louis Vuittons and Chanels in a sports field before in her entire life. I kid you not........click to learn what next.

Baby games and cooking……

Posted on January 24, 2011January 19, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

That's what I have to do whenever I want to cook up a storm, even if it's just for my little humble family, which really means just cooking for the Hubs and myself since the girls don't usually eat what we do. For your information, I am a.......click to learn what next.

Today, my Mother told me that she reads my blog. What? You heard right. My Mother reads my blog! Oh my God. Soon, the shit will hit the fan! Should I have expected anything less? Ever since she dabbled her toes into the pond of technology in the.......click to learn what next.

The Distinctiveness of Motherhood

Posted on January 8, 2011January 8, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

Every now and then, every one of us should take a back seat and think of our place in this motherhood journey (Men, think of your wives, think of your mothers!). It is by far the most taxing job in the world, depending on how much one invests.......click to learn what next.

How to kill a dragon

Posted on September 19, 2010September 19, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Mom reared her ugly head this morning and screamed at me, Tok-Tok, and the nurses. Errr….basically, she screamed at everyone in sight. The woman is a cancer sufferer. She survives on a diet of ice-cream, yogurt and fresh juices because she cannot really chew food, but she must.......click to learn what next.

A day without kids at the hospital

Posted on September 18, 2010September 18, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

I hate hospitals with a vengeance but today, I spent 12 hours in one accompanying my mom, who's been admitted, and spent half a day discussing politics, education and migration with Tok-Tok. Even Tok-Tok wants to migrate and that's really something. If you knew him (and I've known.......click to learn what next.

I was going through some old posts and just HAD to repost this as I was thinking of Mom all day today. Why? Because I cooked up a storm in the kitchen and everything looked impressive (to me la!) but the truth is, Mom did all the hard.......click to learn what next.

Blogging ups and downs

Posted on August 23, 2010August 23, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Apart from spewing verbal diarrhea all over the internet (which releases a lot of internal tension hence good for health), I love blogging because it gives my heart a good workout (again, good for health). Yes, thumpety-thump-thump......my heart aches tremendously and cries out loud when I read of.......click to learn what next.

Guess who has a new IPAD?

Oh, gosh. How I wish????? But it's not me!!! For the longest time, I keep hearing of iphones, ipads, ipods etc but because we are not Apple users, I had no idea what an ipad looked like nor what it was. And well, I really didn't care. But.......click to learn what next.

The missing strawberry

Posted on July 31, 2010July 31, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Strawberries are a favourite fruit of T1 as her Nana always cuts it up and makes a delish cream to go with it so strawberries are a common site in Nana's house. One day, when Nana was caring for T2 and the baby was getting cranky, Nana shouted.......click to learn what next.

Happy Birthday, Nana!!!

Posted on May 8, 2010May 10, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Every year, Nana fights with Mother's Day in order to celebrate her birthday. Perhaps it is apt that her birthday falls in line with Mother's Day because what a Mother she is! I asked Tok-Tok recently why he loved her, a simple uneducated 'kampung' girl.... and he said.......click to learn what next.
